10th planet found!

I recall hearing about this a few years ago, but i guess now there is enough evidence to actually say.

*feels even smaller in the universe*

Now, it's coming to the time of naming the planet respectively. Awesomely enough, they are thinking of naming it Persephone, who is the daughter of Demeter(Goddess of the Harvest). Persephone's Dad was Zeus(go fig/ the gigalo.)

She was suppose to be one of the most beautiful woman and had the magnet of everyone loving her. Hades(Pluto in roman), which is also the name of our "9th planet" wanted her big time. So, one spring day, Persephone was picking flowers when all of a sudden the earth cracked open like a can of pop and Hades(Pluto) tapped that as....err grabbed her and took him down to the underworld.

The only ones to see this happen was Zeus and Helios(god of the sun, likes to ride chariots in the sky), being as they had the vantage point of Mt. Olympus, which was said to be a day an a half fall, Just ask Hephaistos.:-p I guess the other gods and goddesses were out and about meddling in people's lives.

Now, Demeter was sooooo depressed about her daughter and in dire need of some prozac. Helios then chose this opportune time to come down to gossip. When she heard this, spring was no longer and things refused to grow. It became winter.(seasonal depression me thinks)

Zeus didnt like the looks of things so he then sent Hermes(messenger of the gods) down to Hades to check out the scene. Hermes the lackey then told Hades(Pluto) that Persephone was to be set free,cuz things are a bit out of balance on the surface. Hades agreed but not before he could make Persephone eat a pomegranate, which would assure her to be down there with him to be his queen for 1/3 the year. The funny thing is that her mama told her not to eat anything down in the underworld ever, but silly girl dont listen.

According to the Greeks, this was the reason for seasons.
