Reminds me of that Pinky and the Brain episode where Brain takes over the earth by building a paper mache earth and tricking everybody into moving there in order to get free t-shirts, leaving him and Pinky the sole people living on the original earth.

I don't think I ever saw that episode. That's fantastic. What's the point in taking over the world if there's no one on it to rule?

That's what they eventually realized. Then Pinky and the Brain moved to the new earth, and the original earth was destroyed by an asteroid.

Almost entirely certain that the friction of colliding atmospheres would garuntee that this kind of orbit couldn't be stable...

I've read this as a moderately hard sci fi novel. One was a desert, one an ocean. The desert had all these weird slightly soft rocks that didn't fit geologically, think glacial boulders. Turned out they were eggs from when the water switched sides every so often

This is actually kinda possible, and two moons of saturn do this. Check out "Horseshoe orbit" on wikipedia.
