Oh boy... Try to resist the low hanging fruit folks.

Not too many in the mood to take that advice, eh?

Red and blue rings? Does that make it a swing planet for '08?

(a blue ring and a red ring) I'm no doctor but it sounds more dietary than viral. Prunes should do the trick.

Some other scientist just last year named a newly discovered land anomaly on that planet Mount Hemorrhoid.

"Uranus? They got rid of that name over 100 years ago to get rid of that stupid joke."

"What's it called now?"

"Urectum."

Thank you, Futurama.

A dashed line shows a newly discovered ring circling Uranus. Most rings around planets in the solar system are red, because of the size of their particles. This is why Uranus's outer ring was missed for so long -- scientists were looking for it in the infrared light spectrum. The outer ring is bright blue. (Hubble Space Telescope/Handout/Reuters)
