Why did they have to name this planet “your anus?” Why? I cannot have a conversation about the solar system without it becoming a Monty Python skit.
Fry: Did you build the Smelloscope?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: No, I remembered that I'd built one last year. Go ahead, try it. You'll find that every heavenly body has its own particular scent. Here, I'll point it at Jupiter.
Fry: Smells like strawberries.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Exactly. And now, Saturn.
Fry: Pine needles. Oh, man, this is great... hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
Leela: I don't get it.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Urrectum. Here, let me locate it for you.
Fry: No, no, I, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here.
“Yes you can”
I had a schoolteacher who pronounced it “urine us”. Not much better, I’d try yuh-RAN-us.
The only close-to-neutral pronunciation of the name of the seventh planet seems to be, “Your Rawness”.
That doesn’t help either, does it?
;^)
-——Why did they have to name this planet “your anus?”——
because Saturn was already taken
My high school science teacher tried to get us to pronounce it as “UR - inous” but that wasn’t much better. :=)
