They're doing this on purpose, right?

It’s pronounced you-RON-us. Also, which Roman god is Earth named after?
It's not. It's just named after dirt.

I know, that was my point. The comment I was replying to said “all the other planets are named after Roman gods”.

Uranus is such a stupid name. The proper name for the world is Caelus. All the other planets use the Roman names of the gods. But for some reason, we decided to go with the Greek name in the one case that would obviously cause problems. The only reason "Uranus" and "anus" sound similar is that they have different roots. "Anus" comes from the Latin, while Uranus is Greek. The ancient Greeks didn't have this problem, as they only had the word for the deity. The Romans didn't have this problem, as they named their god Caelus. But for some asinine reason, we insist on calling the Seventh Planet Uranus instead of its proper Caelus.
We should rename it. I don't care if scientists at the time of its discovery preferred Uranus. We're allowed to move to more sensible names. We shouldn't be stuck with this forever. In fact, Herschel, the original discoverer, wanted to name it George. Bode came up with the name Uranus, apparently unaware of the Latin/Greek mismatch.
It's high time we give the Seventh World in our star system the proper respect it is due. The seventh planet is Caelus, not this ridiculous Uranus. We can do better.

Ah. Yes, they meant all the other discovered planets are.

If you think all the scientists around the world giggling about all the puns are gonna destroy that ever bountiful source of joy, you got another one coming.

caelus rhymes with sigh-lus

Helps if you pronounce it "yoo rainus" instead of "yer anus". We should change it to something sensible like Urectum.
I'm afraid renaming won't happen until 2620.

Only if you believe the prophecies that fell through the time hole.

Oh, thank you kindly stranger! I don't know what I was thinking..
To be fair, proper anal can be as much a science as it is a fine art.
