At last count, Uranus has 27 moons, all lying in orbits around the planet's equator in which there is also a complex of nine narrow, nearly opaque rings, which were discovered in 1978.

Sounds serious...I'd better go see a doctor.

I am frustrated with Barney Frank, because he said families of candidates are fair game. He said it was ok to go after Sarah’s pregnant daughter as part of the campaign. He’s shameless.

Okay, Barney, we know you and the politically correct crowd got a nice laugh about Sarah’s daughter being pregnant. What would your reaction have been if the daughter was a lesbian? Would it still be ok to go after her then? Just wondering where the politically correct boundaries are. I’m betting a lesbian daughter of a prominent Republican or conservative would be praised for the courage of coming out of the closet and all that.

Oh here we go again. Another thread of one liners about Uranus.

Who has the Uranus ping list?

Especially watch out for Klingons around Uranus.

If Uranus has asteroids, there’s a cream for that.

If Urananus is dim, bend over in front of a mirror and shine a flashlight on it.
