To: beyond the sea
I thought the P.C. crowd had the name changed of Uranus ......... to Urectum.

The protagonist, Fry, frozen in the 20th centry and unfrozen in the 31st, is using an invention called a “smelloscope” to sniff the odors given off by heavenly bodies.

Prof. Farnsworth: You’ll find that every heavenly body has its own particular scent. Here, I’ll point it at Jupiter.

[Fry sniffs.]

Fry: Smells like strawberries.

Farnsworth: Exactly! And now Saturn.

[Fry sniffs.]

Fry: Pine needles. Oh, man, this is great! Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.

[He laughs.]

Leela: I don’t get it.

Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.

Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?

Farnsworth: Urectum.
