If a bunch of scientists can get together and decide Pluto is no longer a planet, why can’t they get together and pick a new name for this one?

The article was doing fine until the “Bring on that Uranus probe” at the end. Was that necessary?

I was told by my proctologist that mine was “abnorman”; still don’t know what he meant.

Bring on that Uranus probe.

So, ah, how big a probe would be necessary? Speaking in a purely academic sense, of course.

I’m just a simple caveman, but if a migrating moon began the tilting motion, what stopped it? Wouldn’t there be a tendency to return to the same orientation as before, like a gyroscope?

HAHAhahahahahahhahahahahah!

That was soooooo funny.

In 1972.

OK ... it wasn’t really that funny even in 1972. And it aged like fine milk ...
