Why do I keep having moments when everybody around me starts puking and running away, Alex?

Because you are the epitome of a modern hip guy, I felt I had to share this with you. TV astrologers, many of'em a bit light in the loafers if you catch muh drift, finally handled the "Uranus Pronunciation Problem" by canning the giggly old 2-syllable
yeur-ANUS pronunciation and replacing it with the new, ever so much more elegant announcer-friendly, 3-syllable
YEUR-a-nus

So nowadays, the old yeur-ANUS pronunciation is used only when one is forced to speak of Barack Hussein Obama and/or Reggie Love/Larry Sinclair.

It’s a pain in the asteroids.

OMG, now we know where all the greenhouse gases that should be warming the Earth have been hiding - they’re in Uranus!

I had to clean my bulldog’s south end with a rough wash cloth and warm soapy water in the kitchen the other day.
The house is closed up, it’s too cold to bathe him outside. He was crusty. His odor was making us ill.

Yeah, I really scrubbed him—squeaky clean, until his butthole was bright red. Now he smells like a sweet pea.

I just thought I’d share that with you.

Lets just calle it the Nasty Planet and leave it at that.

[Jack Hydrazine]

He gave you the ‘red eye’!

It’s similar to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the Great Dark Spot on Neptune!

[Jack Hydrazine]

“...Uranus is a name derived from Greek in contrast to the Roman Caelus.”

But Caelus is nowhere as near as much fun as Uranus! And the people back then knew it.

[Yaelle]

Obama’s Muslim Outreach NASA will be looking more deeply into Uranus.

[Jack Hydrazine]

That would be the best place to settle them all!

[Nowhere Man]

Methane? Uranus? I’m really convinced by this that God does have a sense of humor. B-)

[Slings and Arrows]

Where’s the fun in that...SCIENCE! Err, where’s the science in that, I mean.

[Nowhere Man]

The only thing missing is a reference to a "Black Hole"

It moved from Uranus to the White Hut. B-) (rimshot) badda-bing!!!!

[WTFOVR]

I would post a cogent reply - but I’m LOLing so hard that I can’t see straight!

[WTFOVR]

Is that why in recent years, some people pronounce the name of this planet “Urine-us” ...

Perhaps they’re into “Golden showers”?

[WTFOVR]

“Ouranos” ... Obviously the plural form of Uranus!

[Fresh Wind]

Jeez, I must be caught in a time warp. I feel like I’m back in junior high school.

[Hypo2]

“will not” LOL

that’s usually a palm place

Our church has a beans and rice fast starting next week...we’ll be studying methane clouds in the more localized areas around here.

Thanks I needed a good laugh.
