Discovered Uranus in 1781.
240 years later made him President!
He’s the reason I always shut the door to the bathroom.
My sympathies to the man. I’ve heard there is nothing down there worth seeing.

No, he didn’t! He never got anywhere near Myanus.

“Find any Klingons there?”.
No.
The Enterprise is like toilet paper.

…soooo, if it had life forms, what would you call something that came out of Uranus?

…sounds like a shitty job.
Jülia, I hope somebody finds Uranus and does something unspeakably horrible to it.
He discovered Uranus on 3/13, and on 3/14 he discovered the Herschel Highway.
Men are from mars, women are from venus, all the other genders are from uranus.
Uranus is cold and gaseous.
Was at a kind of dull meeting with some people and this dyke, a nice one, but no matter, was kneeling down to tie her tennis shoe pretty much in the center of everyone.
I got up and started circling her with my arms out.
Her: “What are you doing?”
Me: Playing Star Trek. I’m circling Uranus looking for Klingons.
The meeting was much more cheerful after that. Even the dyke couldn’t stop laughing.

====================
HA! I’m going to remember that one. I think there will plenty of opportunity for using it in the near future.
I loved studying Uranus back in college. I found Uranus absolutely fascinating.
With which hand?
Uranus wasn’t ‘discovered’ by random observation. Herschel calculated there should be a planet in that orbit by the permutations observed in the orbits of the outer planets. He came up with the math that pointed out where exactly that planet must be, telescopes were tasked with looking there, and Uranus was found to be in that place. If that ain’t science, I don’t know what is.
Mr. Sulu was simply obsessed with launching a probe to Uranus.
BEST THREAD EVER!

He was going to name it Myanus but someone teased him about it
so he changed the name.
Wahtever happened to the elastic starfish guy?

Astronomers unanimously agree.
Uranus smells like rotten eggs.
Cosmonaut “where did you get this Fudge cake it’s great”
Astronaut “Uranus your Uranus always has the best fudge”
Hershell used a telescope. The rest of us have to use a mirror.
Uranus shines the brightest only during certain times of the year.
Innocuous comment that will end up in moderation anyway which is too bad as I write the mods wonderful stories and jokes that never make it onto the site.
Yes, I amuse myself.
