I think I remember it from datas encounter with Freud in the holodeck.

What is the name of the comet belt that surrounds our solar system?

"It would be natural to think of a huge comet belt out beyond Pluto, somewhat similar to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but this is not the case. If there were a single belt of comets they would always approach the Solar System in the same plane, but that is NOT the case. Instead, comets approach the solar system from all know directions, leading astronomers to believe there is a large 3-dimensional sphere of comets and asteroids which completely surrounds our solar system. It is much more like a cloud than a belt. For this reason comets come at us from all different directions. "

did you look this one up?

I was actually trying to get to the Oort cloud but realized that I phrased my question incorrectly. So kuiper will need to suffice.

Gage, I think your post count only goes up by 1 per thread, not 1 per post in a thread...
20 posts in this thread = post count goes up by 1

I've spent the past three years studying these neurons and their relation to HIV-1 infection for my PhD thesis, but is searchable on the net. So it shouldn't be too hard :D

Nope, wrong. Post count = posts period, doesn't matter how many in a thread. Each post = postcount++

Darn, I thought of pyramidal (have been tutoring wife for Anatomy and Physiology... she hates the course)... but didn't have a clue if it was even close.
