And NO, the planet isn't called UR-eness, that was some stupid fiction pushed by the left wing imbecile Carl Sagan. The name comes from Greek myth, and the Greeks punch the second syl-LA-ble. I'm glad we had this talk.

What a coincidence, I got a colonoscopy today! They gave me a whole report about Uranus.
I discovered mine. Think I was about 2.
Whoever first sat on a cucumber and his friends said “that thing went up youranus”. To which he replied, that sounds like a good name for the next planet we discover, and the rest is history. /sarc. It’s late at night and I don’t think I won the lottery.
If you want to make a group of otherwise intelligent, mature adults sound like naughty 6 year olds, just start a discussion of planet Uranus on the internet :)
