Properly pronounced as
URINUS..lol!
I was taught back in grade school in the 60s(Floriduh) that it was Your-anus. Not until college did I find out otherwise...

Now you’ve done it. The space cadets on the forum will be posting limp arguments as to why we should send a man to Uranus.

Well, they say a cave is just a hole on its side... And I did note the NatGeo bloggers offered to tell us “what we know about Uranus” and not what they know of their own. So, I would have to conclude they can’t tell the difference between either ours or theirs from a hole in the ground.

Wow, look at that detail!
Oh, wait, that's not Uranus. That's a featureless sphere.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Uranus really has no features Hence my ability to extract funniness from the fact.

Not that it will matter to anyone but the correct pronunciation of the planet's name is YOUR-in-is.
Like I said, not yhat it will matter to anyone.
