The more we learn about Uranus, the less I like it.

"The planet that dare not utter its name" placemarker. Interestingly there is a town in the U.S. named after every planet--but one. Clarification: for each planet (save one) there is a town in the U.S. named after that planet.
Reasons: (1) Nobody wants to live in Uranus; (2) Nobody wants to ask directions: "Hey buddy, how do I get to Uranus?"

"Is that the one with the rings?"If you've got rings on Uranus, you'd better go see a doctor...

This will be small consolation for the residents of Intercourse, PA.

Isn't that what they're calling the Protologist's convention this year? Nurse walks into surgery with a beer for the doctor.

Little known fact: Uranus' blue color is caused by the methane (CH4) in its atmosphere. Really.

And your Urano-phobia is noted as well.

Interestingly there is a town in the U.S. named after every planet--but one. I heard Governor McGreevey was working to change that.

From what I've heard, it seems that some schools are actually pronouncing it that way, with the emphasis on the "r."
