Yowsers in the outer Solar System

The Canada-France Ecliptic Plane survey has run for 5 years on
CFHT, searching for and trackings a large and well-characterized
sample of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).  The goal is to make
precise quantitative statements about the TNO orbital distribution
in order to constrain the late stages of planet formation in the
outer Solar System.  Rather than discuss the more detailed statistical
properties of the Survey, in this talk I will highlight some of the
most interesting single objects in the survey. (1) Buffy, with a
nearly circular but highly-inclined orbit well beyond the edge of
the main Kuiper Belt, (2) 2001 QW322, the most extreme small-body 
binary known in the Solar System (well...universe!), and (3) Drac,
the first retrograde trans-neptunian object.
