The full name of the mysterious object is Rogue Asteroid GrappaFroota, in real life a shriveled and moldy grapefruit found at the bottom of the kitchen fruit basket. It was discovered shortly after the spectacular photographs of asteroid Ceres were published, and the resemblance was so good that GrappaFroota was identified and named on the spot. Photos were taken and gently massaged, and then disseminated to friends both naive and sophisticated. It is now time for the entirety of the philoastral world to marvel!

I was completely taken by this the first time it appeared on my screen! Im thinking that my gullibility is was goaded LJS to publish it in such an esteemed public forum... I am not easily fooled, BTW...
