How you pronounce Uranus depends on the country you live in. It SHOULD be pronounced the same way that you pronounce uranium, which is named after the planet. Jerks who call it your-AH-nuss to avoid embarrassment (pun intended) need to grow up and learn to ignore the titters.

Scientists have confirmed that Uranus’ atmosphere contains hydrogen sulfide.
So yes the jokes are appropriate.

Hammie does know that Uranus is named after the Greek god of the sky and the father of the Titans, right?

Bodily functions- either hilariously funny or something that should never be mentioned in polite company.
I’ll never understand the squeamishness of those two opposite reactions. We would never treat our cardiac or pulmonary functions with such disdain.

The name can be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, but then you’d end up with a lot of pee jokes.
Maybe they should refer to it by the Greek name – Caelus.
