But have scientists found traces of [arsole](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsole) on Uranus? ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > I wish something could be done about Uranus. I’m just sick of looking at it and hearing about it. Which sucks, because my kids are totally into Uranus. Whenever we’re are looking at certain books, there’s Uranus, boldly being waved in my face. And my kids, without fail, will ask me something about Uranus, to which I blush and quickly change the subject. I tell them not to use such language. And then there’s the uncontrollable giggling. OP: I am sorry that Myanus makes you so uncomfortable. No, there is nothing you can do about Myanus, and not much I can do about Myanus either. It just is what it is. If you and Urkids weren’t so totally obsessed with Myanus, it would not be the problem for you that it is. But if it is, it’s Urproblem. Just close Ureyes (or look the other way) whenever Myanus is nearby and ignore it. You needn’t ask any questions about Myanus, it not being any of Urbusiness, and if Urkids do, just smack them upside Theirani. 😃 Just kidding, **Happy Lendervedder**. Urpost is funny. ---

Poor Uranus. It’s never the cool planet that gets picked to be a pseudonym. Not like Mercury got picked to help out Freddy Mercury or Mars got picked to spice up Bruno Mars. Nobody swoons over a Harry Uranus. ---

Uncomfortable? Like the back of a Volkswagon? ---

Nobody swoons over a Harry Uranus. Not true! The guitarist in a Motley Crue tribute band I know goes by “Justin Uranus” (the real guitarist is Mick Mars). ---

And to think that those arrogant scientists declared that PLUTO is no longer a planet! THEIR ASS! Uranus is inept too. ---

I never thought of Uranus as a heavenly body - more like a bit of a black hole … ---

Back in the 1980’s when one of the Voyagers was nearing Uranus, the KLOL/101.1FM - Houston radio morning show duo had this exchange (not exact): So, word from our friends in NASA, Voyager is sneaking up on Uranus. Dang, I thought I felt something cold down there. Nah, that was just our producer. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uranus-makes-me-uncomfortable/675749.md?page=2)
