In other news, scientists are grappling over re-naming Uranus.

There is one faction that wants to name it Joe Biden in honor of the first senile preezy. While there is another faction that wants to name it Barak Obama, in honor of the first sham wow, shuck and jive preezy.

Uranus is the only planet with a Greek name, and even then it should be Ouranos.

All the other planets have Roman names. If Ouranos did too it would be called Caelus.

Problem is, Caelus doesn’t lend itself to crude jokes.
