"It's colder than a ticket taker's smile at the Ivar theater on a Saturday night."

Yeah, I know it's caused by particle size, not temperature, but I'll take any excuse to quote Tom Waits.

Take the tidy-bowl cleaner out and raise the seat.

Problem solved.

Unlike Enceladus, which has plumes of gas and dust jetting from its surface into space, any contributions from Mab, which is 20 times smaller than Enceladus and unlikely to be as geologically active, probably have a less exotic explanation: Dust particles created by micrometeorite impacts were blasted into space.

Does "20 times smaller" mean "1/20 the size"?

I thought a blue ring around uranus meant you wore cheap jeans that got wet.

I've heard it pronounced, "Uriness," but that doesn't help, either :)

Only funny thing was ever said on Futurama:

Professor: "They got rid of that name over 100 years ago to get rid of that stupid joke"

Fry: "What's it called now?"

Professor: "Urectum"
