Professor Hubert Farnsworth: “Astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.”

Probably was a hip check from Whoopi or Rosie.

And the answer is: "Ju not only have rings around uranus, but ju also have a red spot on jupiter."

Series of bumps sent Uranus into its sideways spin. I've driven down roads like that.

Back in my disco days, the bump had the same effect.
To: Red Badger
They discovered that if Uranus had been hit when still surrounded by a protoplanetary disk — the material from which the moons would form — then the disk would have reformed into a fat doughnut shape around the new, highly tilted equatorial plane. A doughnut around Uranus because it got hit?

Uranus in a tizzy spewing out brown matter.
To: Red Badger
I love science and physics, but when they can successfully predict the weather tomorrow I will be more apt to believe their simulation correctly predicts the motion of this massive body a couple billion years ago. I will give them an A for trying because we should never stop trying to understand our universe and the role we play.

I’ve heard it pronounced “You-Rah-Noose”.
Like in “Uh, that’s `Frahnk-en-Steen’.”
