You’re a wizard, Harry.

Seamus and Dean, who were working nearby, sniggered loudly, though not loudly enough to mask the excited squeals from Lavender Brown — “Oh Professor, look I think I’ve got an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one’s that, Professor?”

“It is Uranus, my dear,” said Professor Trelawney, peering down at the chart.

“Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender,” said Ron.

Most unfortunately, Professor Trelawney heard him, and it is this, perhaps, that made her give them so much homework at the end of class.

This, of course, penned by J.K. Rowling, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

OK, I am going to tell my wife that, “Uranus stinks!” just to see the reaction. 😂

Dunno why.

They should be happy with Trump tearing it up so far in his second term.

Elias Nash is a poor writer. Missed two important facts about hydrogen sulfide.
Hydrogen sulfide in the correct quantities kills humans by inhibiting cellular respiration...just like cyanide. Because our noses are very sensitive to its odor and it stinks...we get out of its way when it’s levels aren’t high enough to kill us. Stinkiness is one of the least important aspect of its bad qualities.
Plus “swamp gas” is a combination of gases, not hydrogen sulfide alone. Mostly methane with a smidgen of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, phosphine. I am guessing AI had something to do with the article.

Thru a small telescope, Neptune looks green. I have seen it myself.
