Actually, I think I might have heard about an asteroid by that name. Or was it Kupier Object 1342 I was thinking of?
Either way, it can't be anything of consequence. What's the difference between one object which isn't able with its own gravitational force to be pulled into a hydrostatic equilibreum, and hasn't cleared the space around its orbit, and another?
It's all just space junk.

Who's this Quaoar? I think he's kind of cute. Adorable round head, lovely salmony-pink complexion. Is he Pluto's replacement? Because if he is I may have to rethink this whole thing.
Screw Pluto and his no-pull ways.
Why the privileging of the rounded orbit? Who decided that was superior to a slightly oblong orbit? It seems a sign of dangerous intolerance to condemn a planet for such a deviation from the norm.
I'm impressed you know about Kupier this and that, though. I never heard of it.
kuiper actually. oops.
My new favorite is Sedna.
There might be life on Pluto. Extemophile microbes down in the deepest crevices...
