Uranus makes me uncomfortable

[deltasigma]

More fun facts about Uranus, it’s the only planet that rotates on its side with one pole facing the Sun - such a slut.

Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.77°, so its axis of rotation is approximately parallel with the plane of the Solar System. This gives it seasonal changes completely unlike those of the other major planets. Other planets can be visualized to rotate like tilted spinning tops on the plane of the Solar System, whereas Uranus rotates more like a tilted rolling ball. Near the time of Uranian solstices, one pole faces the Sun continuously whereas the other one faces away

Is it too late for me to butt into this thread?

[Bumbershoot]

Are there rings around Uranus?

Are there rings around Uranus?

Yes, rings of dark matter.

[deltasigma]

@terentii

Yes, rings of dark matter.

And Uranus doesn’t have moons, it has dingle berries.

I wonder how Uranus feels about being the butt of so many jokes. Has anyone even spoken to Uranus?*

We really should consider the emotional state of Uranus.

*Yes, I’ve used that line before. So sue me. And no comments about the first five words of my post, please. That would be juvenile.

We should have just named it after King George III, like William Herschel wanted to. That would have stopped Americans giggling about it all the time.

I disagree. “King George’s Anus” is no improvement.

**Farnsworth: **I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
**Fry: **Oh. What’s it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

Urectum - U damn near killed 'em

Yes, Uranus is definitely preferable to King George’s Anus- in more ways than one.

If necessary, the aliens could probe Uranus. Apparently, they have lots of experience.

I don’t envy them. Probing Uranus can be a ticklish operation. Maneuvering through that gravity well takes enormous amounts of thrust but make one wrong move and you’ll end up with a real mess on your hands.

I’ve been mooned by Uranus! :eek:

But wouldn’t that depend on how deeply you probe? :dubious:

That’s funny- to me, Uranus has always been most accommodating.

Those are Klingons.

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.

I really do hate bringing up Uranus, because it makes me so uncomfortable, especially in polite company. No should be talking about anuses with their young children, Ur’s or anyone else’s.

So please, take Uranus and get it the hell out of here please. It disgusts me. The rings, the smoothness…and it’s just so big and blue. It’s unnatural!

You’re a Nuss!

Eponysterical!

Yes … particularly when there is a protuberance, a bulge in the fabric of space… :rolleyes:

[The_Second_Stone]

I want to send my probe to Uranus. It’s a mystery to me why, but I just can’t put my finger on it.

[Gatopescado]

It might make you uncomfortable, but its killin’ me!

[EmilyG]

Uranus is bigger than the Earth.
