"Uranus is surrounded by fart clouds"

Truth is clearly stranger than fiction:

From the article.

Quote:
But it’s okay if you care more about fart jokes than the very nature of our existence. And since we know you’re wondering, we’ll point out that Uranus’ stinky gas is far from its least appealing quality.

“If an unfortunate human were ever to descend through Uranus's clouds, they would be met with very unpleasant and odiferous conditions,” Irwin said in a statement. “Suffocation and exposure in the negative 200 degrees Celsius atmosphere made of mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane would take its toll long before the smell.”
Well, nothing personal but I'm going to stay away from Uranus.

The ancients must have known when they were naming the planets.
That is just too much to be a coincidence.

Who was Cronus
"According to Greek mythology, the beginning of time was called Chaos. When Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Sky)(Heaven) were formed, the six titans came to be. Cronus married his sister Rhea then had six children as well: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus."

Sammy, Pluto is not a planet.

Our moon is 1/6 the size of earth and Pluto is 1/6 the size of our moon. It is tiny. There are asteroids bigger than Pluto. They are just called asteroids because they are too small to be a planet.

OK, but it was when I was in school and I didn't get to vote.
So who's gonna tell him the bad news?

Serial, the definition is this:



Pluto checks the box on the first two but fails on the third.

So what this thread is telling us is that if pluto were stinky as uranus, it'd be a planet too?

Yer slipping.
