hmmmm:
There were `QUIRKS' in the orbits of those outer planets.
I suppose you want to argue that the mass that was determined more
accurately by Voyager disapears and appears at will on the surface of the
planets, to account for the WOBBLE ?
Or is that wobble because a giant icecream-man is doing bisnis on pluto,
every now and again serving Uranes a 4 to 10 earthmasses icecream (depending
on the lust for ice of Uranes).
