Sphincter would be to imprecise. A body has several of those.

If a man passes gas in a forest and there’s no-one around to smell it, does his flatus still stink...?

It’s like the old Vedic question:

If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

If there is no one on Uranus to smell it, does it have an odor?

At -300°F there cannot be anyone there alive longer than a few seconds.................

I’m reading this as I eat my breakfast cereal, lol.

In the cartoon Futurama, the Professor states that scientists changed the name of Uranus because of all the childish jokes. What did they rename it? Urectum.

The first serious set of star charts I acquired many years ago is called Uranometria 2000.They don’t have any smell, lol.

The Greek word ouranos means heaven or the sky, but also the god Ouranos, the father of the Titans. Uranus is the Latin spelling. So Uranometria makes sense as a set of charts of the sky.

Maybe we should just spell the planet's name Uranos.

Well, I didn’t say it to my wife. However, I did say it to my daughter who was sitting on the bed with my wife. Don’t worry, my daughter is 23 and she works as a first responder, so she’s heard everything there is to hear From her colleagues. As it happened, she was on the phone with a good friend of hers, and she looked at me with absolute horror on her face. Until I showed her the article on FR. Then her friend and my wife started laughing and all my daughter could say is “dad, you’re still 12 years old.“ Yeah, maybe so. But I have one subscribed to the statement that “you can only be young once, but you can be immature forever, and it’s a whole lot more fun than the alternative.” 😜
