"That's no moon!"

I know we've only sampled 150 exosystems or so, but since the very first one in 1992 that turned out to be a system around a pulsar, we have found far more "bizarre" ones than ones like our Sol system. Which of course begs the question, are we the bizarre solar system in the galaxy and beyond?
