I couldn't fine a Planet X - Nibiru thread, either. So I've made a new one and moved it to Ufology, since that's where it belongs.

Great. Being a Planet X thread, I've merged it with this one.

Strongly agree.
The existence of modern myths is a fascinating phenomenon - but their existence is even more remarkable when it can be clearly demonstrated that they have no basis in fact. So the verifiable facts of the matter, as well as the details of the myths themselves, are both important. |

As far as as the myth making process is concerned, the actual existence of Planet X is really not required.
Perhaps I should have qualified the first statement as from a Fortean viewpoint.  |
