Its kind of old news and new news at the same time, isn't it? Old in that didn't Jan van Oort come to the same conclusion 60 years ago and that's why the Oort Cloud is named after him, but new in that someone has done an estimate for the mass of the disturbing body.

Must be Nibiru, just hanging around out there waiting to come back here at the end of 2012

But it is an interesting read

I thought it read a bit odd, but once they mentioned Nemisis it was confirmed.
