SCIENTISTS INTRIGUED BY STRANGE BLOBS ON URANUS

Researchers believe that mushy blobs on Uranus are hiding lots of gas.

More specifically, scientists have discovered that “mushballs,” large slushy hailstones made of ammonia and water, might be causing an odd atmospheric phenomenon on Uranus, according to a press release about the research. The mushballs, which are also present on Neptune, might be carrying ammonia into the two planets’ atmosphere and hiding the gas from detection.

The balls might actually be the secret behind why scientists can’t detect ammonia in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune — which is odd because it’s abundant with other gasses like methane.

At least my gastroenterologist was kind enough to call them hemorrhoids, and not blobs.

This was the last time a Uranus joke was remotely funny

That planet Uranus is remote.

We are dealing with a much closer location.

Seriously, are we adults any better?

In other news, Peter Thiel will be sponsoring the first mission to Uranus. First volunteer will be Peter Buttigeig.

Lol. I have that movie at home. Even cheaper and more incoherent (and funnier) than The Blob.

[TNoldman]

I don’t know about UR ANUS butt if there is a blob on MY ANUS I wipe it off and then take a Shower.
