bWHAAAAAAAAAA
how's the moon and the ring around uranus 2Long????
LMAO, a uranus joke. Love 'em.
2Long hates 'em.
2Long, you don' need to wait to be asked.
Trouble with Uranus, is that you pretty much can't pronounce it ANY way without getting my friends 2 make jokes about it over beers.
Rings around Uranus?
Klingons?
Bathroom humor forever!!
it's just funnee
no matter which way you approach yeranus
It was obviously named when people still had standards.
Or d'ya think there were a couple of old scientists going "haw haw THIS name'll provide a lot of laughs in the future."
I've heard it pronounced "yurinis" as though that makes it respectable. LMAO
*snort*
2Long thinks we ought to quit laffin at his chosen profession
.... no way!
I tried "OO Ron Youze" for a while, but nobody liked it
(no bathroom humor handles, I guess!)
Back during Voyager flybys of Jupiter, people argued over how 2 pronounce "Io".
Should it be pronounced "ee-yo" or "eye-yo"?
A colleage suggested we call it "ten" instead.
I suggested 2 alternatives:
number a: Name one of the new moons "Eo".
letter 2: SPELL it, don't pronounce it at all!
-ol' 2long
You guys cwack me up!

Uh, I don't think that's the reason nobody liked it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Jen
don't think of
nibblets
Sadly,
The computer I had that had all of the e-mail addys of the old schoolers I no longer have access to.
The query was because I can "almost" remember them. And unfortunately I have succumbed to the benefits (and downfalls) of the completely digital age.
Ergo, there is a pattern of carefully aligned electrons which escapes me.
NCW
LOL Pep.
Pleased to see you're keeping in with the uranus theme, Dorry.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
Shoot, NCW, is that all you wanted to ask.
what are niblets? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
{{NCW}}since we are giving out hugs today. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Oh, FF, don't ask. Please don't ask.
Please, please don't ask.
They appear to be something that Patriot got kicked in once or plays with - we're not sure.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Reminds me of Futurama.
The old guy invented a smelloscope.
Of course, you all know what the punch line was...
They appear to be something that Patriot got kicked in once or plays with - we're not sure.
Rats, I always miss out on the fun. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" />
something about the smell of uranus, Appy? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Aphelion, YOU'VE ALREADY TOLD US.
I remember the episode as well. Very funny.
LMAO.
You were there FF. How did you miss it. It was in one of the now locked threads.
I did? Rats.
Deja vu all over again.
I had to leave before it was locked. Missed that stuff, LOL
Careful Pep. We are the same age.
Shoot, NCW, is that all you wanted to ask.
No.
That was not the question. I have a legitimate question that I cannot post. I no longer have my list of e-mail addys from (somewhat) recent history.
Hence my post.
Strangely, it seems that everything I touch then quickly turns to inanity. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Sort of like a Midas' touch.
Except more fun at parties.
Yah.
This thread quickly went to uranus in a handbasket didn't it...
Ahem!!!
Could I say a few words about Uranus??? I thought not. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
However, did you know...it is the only planet with a magnetic field tipped so the magnetic poles face into the solar wind?
Did you know... Of course you didn't and don't care. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Nevertheless,it does seem to be a hard name to pronounce without a whole bunch of smiles occuring on peoples faces.
NCW, I will send you an email in a bit OK?
2Long how is it going on my favorite planet? Oh, I mean SoCal. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

"However, did you know...it is the only planet with a magnetic field tipped so the magnetic poles face into the solar wind?"
HUH?????????? And that would be important because.........?
It's scary what is on some folks minds. Back to putting shelf paper in the kitchen.
Believer,
It is important to those of us that worry about such things. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> We worry about planetary magnetic fields and how the sun interacts with planets. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Ok, Ok, I give, now you know why I tell people I do "environmental" impact studies when they ask what I do. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

ROFL! My brother took AP astronomy from the local college when he was 13. Later I took the same class from the same professor, who pronounced the planet as ooRAHnoos, very similar to 2long, except he didn't care if anyone liked his pronunciation or not. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My brother and I pronounced it the traditional way. We would go around snickering, "Uranus has five moons!"
*snort, snort*
I assure you they didn't get it from ME!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Anyone who knows me at all knows I'm
much too prissy to make grotesque jokes and inappropriate puns about intimate body parts! Blech. How distasteful <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
But let me warn all you compulsive scientists out there. Anybody who feels compelled to tell me about Uranus is going to hear about
mine in return. So beware. You. Don't. Want. To. Know.
t&l
NC,
U got mail. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
L.
it's just funnee
no matter which way you approach yeranus
I'm wondering why you are concerned about approaching hisanus??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Hey NC,
Where's your e-mail? Inquiring minds want 2 know! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
L.
Dern, I missed some fun.
Speaking of YO, yo 2long, next moon of Uranus discovered should be named "Yo Ho" or maybe
Arrrrrrr, don't you think? In honor of His noodly appendage.
WAT
