Yup, ends up being a black hole.It’s an awkward discussion for me. I’m sure Uranus is an awkward topic to discuss for most. (And we don’t even know each other )
That' just so wrongYup, ends up being a black hole.
Because "urinous" is so much better than "your anus". Maybe we should go back to calling it George.Or you could go with the Carl Sagan pronunciation, YER-un-us. I wonder how many astronomers say it that way.
All the dozens of astronomers and planetary scientists that I know and work with pronounce it, “yoor-uh-nuhs”.Or you could go with the Carl Sagan pronunciation, YER-un-us. I wonder how many astronomers say it that way.
Thanks for the transcript!Fry: Maybe we could use the smello-scope to smell Uranus!
Everyone: Huh, what?
Farnsworth: I'm sorry Fry, but scientists changed the name of that planet hundreds of years ago because they got tired of that stupid joke.
Fry: What'd they change it to?
Farnsworth: ... Urectum!
I think that's the 2nd or 3rd Episode of Futurama, and I laughed myself sick on that one.

But not as funny.Because "urinous" is so much better than "your anus".

Question:
Why did Herschel name his planet Uranus?
Answer:
Herschel did not name the planet Uranus, he called it "the Georgium Crinklestar" in honor of King George III of England. The name "Uranus" was first proposed by German astronomer Grundle Bumwinkle in order for it to be more conducive to butt puns. Uranus is the ancient Greek deity of the da booty, the earliest supreme god. This name did not achieve common use until the fifth grade.
Not a fissure?
So there must be a lot of Klingons around there.It’s a volcanic feature known as a stink wrinkle.
