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

Indeed. I just clicked for the replies.

Hey, Petronski, a Uranus thread!

As you posted in 2002:

“Jokes about Uranus are so juvenile. So why am I laughing out loud? ;) “

That list likely comprises the amount of times I’ve had a colonoscopy, and yes there were a whole lot of gaseous anomalies and aside from one big moon (polyp), a smash a tiny moons whilst my moon was mooning everybody in the room.

Neptune is a satellite radio station the doc listens to and bills you for while they are already scheduling your next camera probe....

Pluto is the sound made by the elevator when it reaches your floor.

:-D

Because they’re not talking about steam, is why.

From Wikipedia:

Superionic water, also called superionic ice or ice XVIII is a phase of water that exists at extremely high temperatures and pressures. In superionic water, water molecules break apart and the oxygen ions crystallize into an evenly spaced lattice while the hydrogen ions float around freely within the oxygen lattice. The freely mobile hydrogen ions make superionic water almost as conductive as typical metals. It is one of the 18 known crystalline phases of ice. Superionic water is distinct from ionic water, which is a hypothetical liquid state characterized by a disordered soup of hydrogen and oxygen ions.

The next planet discovery should be named "Tubi".
