I was trying to read all this, but all I could think of, was that global warming must have caused it. 😀

Glad I live out west, mine can roam about freely. Ain’t no traffic jams around here. 😊

Oh yeah? Ask pete. Anyway, could this be a dingleberry coriolos effect?

When Joe found out about this, he tripled the Space Force budget.

Maybe Uranus has a magnetic field, but not mine.

Hmmm….probes around Uranus.

Ah man.... here we go.

I thought this was a story about our transportation secretary

The Rats in government preach about individual choices and a right to privacy which is not explicitly menioned in the Bill of Rights. Then, they want to probe Uranus. There is a large contradiction there.

All the political talk is really just filler to bide our time until the next Uranus thread comes along.

I was thinking the same ab. LOL

Just reading the title I judge that freepers are neither sophisticated nor mature enough to handle the subject matter.

The jokesters are the astronomers who named all the planets after the Roman pantheon of gods, except for one, and they even misspelled it to make it more jokeworthy. Ouranos is the proper spelling.
