steve irwin jokes have been fair game since his death, hes the sort of chap that would want people to laugh despite the tragedy.

I find it funny that OUR solar systems name is "Solar System" that'd be like our planet's name being Planet, or our god's name being "God".... oh wait. mine is... nevermind on the last one.

hmm it would appear the best 'name' for the sun is Sol (latin for sun) which would make it 'The Sol system' and the planets would be named as follows:

Mercury - Sol I
Venus - Sol II
Earth - Sol III
Mars - Sol IV
Jupiter - Sol V
Saturn - Sol VI
Uranus - Sol VII
Neptune - Sol VIII

unfortunatly since that pluto noncense isnt a planet anymore we don't get onto X's which is a pitty really because not enough roman numerals reach IX
Edit: Yup just checked out some other sources and it seems that it isnt 'official' as such the generally accepted 'name' for the sun is Sol and Luna for the moon. (It isn't simply 'the sun' because sun is never capitalised so it can't be a proper noun)

and f-that anyway. pluto will always be a planet to me

Pluto never should have been a planet, its tiny.
If you insist that pluto is worthy of planetary status then it would be Sol IX

good point. its basically just reflex. i'll try to watch that from now on.
