Hasn't anyone tried to rename this planetary butt of jokes?

Well, I DID have to take my husband to have a colonoscopy today. How coincidental to stumble across this story.

I wasn't all that concerned during my colonoscopy. At least, not until the doctor commented on my tonsillectomy. :=)

Tiny moons? Couldn't they be classified as asteroids?

Anyone want to speculate on what that dark circle is at the bottom of Uranus?

Are they really moons or are they assterroids?

Two moons orbiting Uranis and you ask for no jokes. That is ridiculous in itself.

NASA: "We're being mooned by Uranus."

Your husband must be a Republican since Democrats masterfully perform eyewitness, self-colonoscopies.

AFAIK, they haven't tried to change the name. The pronunciation that I've heard lately, though, is more like "YOUR-an-iss" rather the the old "your-AIN-iss"

Yes, but for some reason, Urweenie never gathered much popular support.

It's a loser either way. The second pronunciation could well describe the odor of a street corner wino in mid August: urinous.

Any NASA spacecraft sent to collect a sample from Uranus should be named Charmin.
