People doing important research on Uranus certainly hear a lot of jokes.

  No, it’s always the same joke, in a thousand variations on a theme.

    Which drives me mad, given that Uranus should really be pronounced like the greek god Uranus (uran-os, with U pronounced like in Uzbekistan), not "ur anus".

      Or it should be called Caelus to be consistent with Roman names

        Consistency is the hobgoblin of minor planets

        We could always go back to calling it George, like Herschel initially did.

    It was a meta-joke, sorry everyone.

  I thought they renamed it Urectum?
