Uranus ping list. It's pronounced: OOOOO-ruh-nus, accent on the first syllable, which rhymes with "Glue." (If you want on or off this list, don't tell me; I'll know.)

I'd give anything to see that Uranus/Mensa episode on Seinfeld again. It was a hoot.

None of these infants have a clue about astronomy. They have never seen the night sky for themselves and never will--thanks to light pollution.

It's pronounced: OOOOO-ruh-nusThe HyperDictionary lists the pronunciation of "Uranus" as follows:
"yer'ahnahs; yuw'rahnahs"
Which, to me looks very much like Klingonese...food for thought.

That planet has been nothing but trouble. I've always said that no good will ever come from Uranus.

I've always said that no good will ever come from Uranus.I'm sure you've heard this old joke:
The various organs and parts of the body were all engaged in serious debate over which one of them was the most important. The Brain naturally thought he was the most important because of the many activities he supervised. The Heart disagreed, citing that if he stopped working, the body would die. The Liver, Lungs, Spleen and all the rest chimed in with their various opinions, but a consensus was never reached.
Then, the Anus spoke up very softly the he indeed was the most important of all the parts of the body. The rest of the organs and parts of the body laughed so long at the Anus' impertinant suggestion, that the Anus closed down in utter embarrassment.
After a short period of time, the Eyes began to cross, the Brain couldn't function properly, the Stomach became severely bloated...in fact, every organ of the body was compromised. Another meeting was called and the Anus was quickly confirmed as the most important part of the body.

First it was "ring around the collar" and then "bathtub ring" with a clever, bell-like tone in the background, but a ring around Uranus is more than I can imagine without a stout stoke of stout.

"A thick, high-altitude haze masks cloud bands and storms, hiding weather systems from view..."Maybe they should send a probe into Uranus.
sorry
