Heh. Asstronomers.
eh. As no mer s: H-eh. As-stro-no-me-r-s.
Am I doing it right?
thats very poor choice of words
there was a poll among astronomers whether they should rename uranus, and they almost unanimously decided to keep it that way because it got funding just due to giggles.
In Futurama, they renamed it to Urectum :)
thats very
poorexcellent choice of wordsThey knew what they were doing
Shouldn’t they be looking at the night sky, though?
I’m not a 12 yo boy, I’m not a 12 yo boy, I’m not a 12 yo boy
Don’t worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.
It’s going to be called “urectum”.
I’m a genuine proponent of renaming Uranus to “Caelus.” It’s the only planet (save earth) not named for a Roman god. It’s named for a Greek god, and completely breaks the naming convention. Funny word play aside, I’d like to see it renamed Caelus.
Hey don’t talk about Uranus like that.
Uranus is good enough, smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like Uranus.
Caelus would fit perfectly in our solar system.
Right? Such a cool name! I also would not mind if they renamed earth to Terra, though, to keep the trend. But if we keep Uranus, we should make earth Gaia, so Uranus won’t be so lonely as the only Greek in the solar system.
I may, may, be anthropomorphizing our planets a bit
I mean since it’s 71% covered in water, how about Poseidia?
How does one select the ending of the word, like how would one know to choose Poseidia instead of Poseidus?
I pulled it out of my ass
Rectum? Damn near killed em!
Relax friend. You are safe. That was a long time ago and Father McCoy is not around anymore.
pfft BWA-HAHAHAHHHAA
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
None of us are (hopefully). Doesn’t make the joke any less funny to our 12 year old senses of humour.
Nah that’s my wife, carry on
Maybe it just got a kiss from Neptune
Is that the Roman version of Poseidon’s kiss?
not my anus
Wet, I can understand. But cold?
It is pretty close to where the sun doesn’t shine.
Ever driven 45 minutes home after bottoming? It get pretty cold before you get to a shower
Things I never realized being a straight man
Let me help every woman you’ll sleep with going forward, then. Don’t just jizz on the bed when you pull out. It also gets cold, but now it’s where you need to sleep. Lol.
Also don’t get it in their hair, it’s a bitch to get out if it dries. Invest in a daily glass of pineapple juice, though, and you probably won’t have to worry about it where to end. They won’t mind swallowing so much
Lmao. I’m an old man with a kid and a committed GF. We always have something to take care of it. But thanks for the PSA.
maybe it’s a windy day
Yeah, I felt it
And that’s to say nothing of Uranus’ moons, of which there are nearly 30.
Damn. Surprised that many can last that long and not destroy each other.
The gas Giants are huge, like really really huge. Jupiter and Saturn have more than that. The rings from Saturn are probably from moons, but not necessarily colliding, but getting close enough to the planet to reach the Roche Limit.
These moons will destroy uranus
get it? because it sounds like your anus pfhdtfht
