I'm going to have to start a grassroots effort to get this poor, abused planet re-named. While it hasn't yet been renamed, I've noticed that its pronunciation has changed over the years. I recall it was always pronounced as your-AIN-us. Now everybody seems to pronounce it YOUR-en-us.

Unfortunate choice of plantes, though ...

Seymour Butts, Interplanetary Proctologist, at your service:
"Now, what was this about a blue and a red ring around Uranus? Just hop up on the table here, and put your feet in these stirrups and I'll have a look."
"You're going to feel a little discomfort, so just relax."

Either way the double entendre is inescapable... the new pronunciation is no improvement. That poor planet!

UC Berkeley professors found them. Figures. They must have had to look pretty close to find them, since nobody else found them before now. I guess nobody was looking.
Okay, that is all I can say without being overt.
Some threads just write themselves.
