I agree with Dr Farnsworth’s idea...in order to avoid the obvious joke, rename the planet “Urrectum”

I remember that movie from when I was a kid. Messed me up good.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“Did you know that Uranus spins sideways?”
You mean its axis of rotation is oriented parallel (more or less) to the ecliptic, not perpendicular (more or less) like earth’s?

It’s been a whole lot longer than 25 years since anything visited myanus. Maybe that suppository I got back in 1961.

Exactly.
But, admit it, you can’t say “uranus spins sideways” without grinning.

"In other news, Rahm Emmanuel is still off the ballot in Chicago" Actually this news may be related to Rahm E. The statement in the title of this article may be addressed to him:
Voyeur celebrates 25 years since Uranus visit
Just a mispelling in the title...

I suppose “Journey To Uranus” could really confuse a lot of people, and sound very gross if pronounced a certain way...

There’s another way to pronounce it?
By the way, I think I saw that movie title when I wondered into the wrong section of the video rental store one day.

Fascinating photo! I've never seen a square (90˚) corner like that in planetary striations. There are irregular ruts that look like the trails made by rolling balls. Fascinating and sharp picture.
