Uranus is tired of being the butt of everyone’s jokes. It wants to tell the other planets to stick it where the Sun don’t shine. To put it briefly, it needs a new name. So what would you call Uranus?
Ruskeasilma.
It means “brown eye” in Finnish.
Just a tip of the hat to a beautiful language that doesn’t get nearly enough usage.
Prof: I’m sorry, Fry. Astronomers changed the name of Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh? What’s it called now?
Prof: Urrectum.
I’ve known people who thought they were avoiding innuendo by pronouncing it “Urine-us.”
I think they should keep Uranus the way it is – but change the astronomical symbol to “:”
“Urine-us” is no protection against Neptune’s endless taunting.
