Seventh planet has a blue ring Seventh planet? FOCL! They are going to have to rename the poor planet at some point. Might I suggest Caelus?

Sir William Herschel, who discovered the planet in 1781, wanted to name it in honor of King George III (Georgium sidus), but that suggestion didn't win favor. The Brits for a time called the planet Herschel.

Caelus? Naw, Urectum would be much better. Or Urethra, or Ureter. Or Roto Rooter. Or ru-ru. Death by ru-ru! The King has spoken.
