I hate it when Uranus moons.... That made me laugh so hard one son came in from another room to see what was so funny. Now to get the hot chocolate off the keyboard before it dries.

Many scientists and academics actually pronounce the name of the planet as 'your-UN-ess.' This reflects more accurately the original Greek pronunciation, even if it's not a double entendre in English.
To: rightwinggoth
Slight oversight: stress should be on the 'YOUR'. YOUR-un-ess.

I often watched BBC astronomer, Patrick Moore, pronouncing it that way - still the other way is funny!

"It's showing how this system is very rapidly evolving and showing that the processes which led to the formation of the planets (are) still ongoing today."Scientists just discovered this and right off the bat it is considered a process of evolution. What jokesters.

Teaching Greek mythology to freshmen, we get that special "Uranus" laugh out in the open quickly. I give them the opportunity early on. After that, the kids just look around the room to see who's gonna' laugh next.

You've got to be careful when Cupid is circling Uranus.
