Gotta love TheOnion.com
"New Solar System Discovered Four Feet from Earth"
The article is from 1996 but this is the first I've seen it.
"...efforts are underway to analyze the new planetary system using telescopic spectrographic analysis, as well as shovels, in gathering data from distances of up to 48.5 inches."
"Future research projects include a NASA mission to lean a ladder against the planet and attempt a manned climb to its surface, a plan tentatively scheduled for November 1997, with a projected cost of approximately 60 bucks."
"Added Lando, 'We must also remember not to get too close, as our telescopes might bump into it, poking us in the eye with the other end.'"
Funny article...you should read the rest of it.

One lampoons totally, the other reports with some "creatitve" slanting or eluding with speculation
