There Really Is A Flat Earth Society

That planet needs a new name.  (Something like, "Urectum"). Would have been a better project for science than de-listing Pluto as a planet.

When I was taking Astrophysics courses at the university, one of my professors took great exception to the pronunciation most use for Uranus. If anyone pronounced it "Ur-A-nus" he would stop everything and make a point of pronouncing it "URINE-ous"... which, to my mind, was not really a vast improvement...

.

I was watching John B. Wells' show earlier. He somehow got on the topic of Uranus and went off teaching everyone how to pronounce it too. He said people in the U.S. are the only ones who mispronounce it.
Now, here I see it again.

Weird.
