Toyen: Minor Planet?
While exploring Google's Book Search this morning, I made the startling discovery that there is a "minor planet" named after Toyen. It was discovered October 7, 1983, by A. Mrkos, and named in honor of Toyen by J. Ticha. (This data is from Lutz D. Schmadel's Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, fifth edition.)
I have no idea where this planet hangs out. Perhaps there are cafes in outer space for surrealist planets to gather.

Perhaps it's the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
Or floating around the ceiling of the "In Space" buffet in Brno?
Well da-ang! You definitely got the cool diss topic! ;)
You could feature the minor planet on your cover.
I don't know if there are any photos of it. On the other hand, it is probably on the buffet ceiling in Brno, merely unmarked.
