So most of you thought that 'Planet X' was just paranoid stuff written about on conspiracy theory websites without an iota of science to support such claims? Then think again. It's taken SERIOUSLY by scientists. Serious enough to be given a four-page write-up in the current issue of 'New Scientist', Britain's leading popular science magazine. This is all the magazine allows to be read without subscription:
The mystery of Planet X

TWO years ago the solar system lost a planet. Pluto was deemed too insignificant to rank alongside Mars, Jupiter and the rest, and was demoted to dwarf planet status
[OP: Yeah. By a SMALL, unrepresentative minority of the conference participants who stayed behind to vote on the issue!]
Pluto's fall from favour left us with only eight bona fide planets. But what the solar system has lost, Patryk Lykawka now hopes to replace.
