Theoretical probing

[MIchaelTArchangel]

When ever you have water in Uranus, try Kaopectate.

[tet68]

I was abducted yesterday by a UFO, I woke up in a
lighted room when the attendants stuffed a balloon
up my butt then inflated it and me. Then I was put
through some kind of ray machine and then the aliens
said it wasn’t covered by the VA and I would have to
pay for it myself!!!

Plenty of water in my Uranus too!!!

[Red Badger]

Probing Uranus can get sticky...............

[tet68]

the teeny-tiny atomic scale

I wondered which scale it was...

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Observe from a distance. Mask and goggles won’t hurt either.

[Joe 6-pack]

Sounds like Uranus could be kind of slushy.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

“my Uranus “

WTF zat?

[Songcraft]

Is Dr. Flim-Flam Fauci involved with this endeavor?   If so, and he recommends wearing a mask during the probing, I think for once he might actually be right about that.

*alien water inside of Uranus ping*

[JimRed]

...ice, liquid and superionic (superionic water exists at extremely high temperatures and pressures.)

Ice & liquid, OK, but why can't they just say "steam" instead of superionic?

[Delta 21]

Nothing like having someone crawl up your anus with a yuge friggen telescope.

[Delta 21]

.....wait. That dint sound right.

[Afterguard]

The jokes write themselves.

I finally get to invoke my strict policy of not reading stories about “weird” or “alien” things inside Uranus.
