Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for April 18, 2015

The planet Bob, which has moons Emily, Howard, Carol and Jerry.

I like the astronomers who pronounce it “ur-un-iss”

Nothing grabs the attention of a group of budding astronomers (kids) like asking them “Hey, did you know Uranus is sideways?” Doesn’t do a thing using the first pronunciation above.

And…

It’s the natural pronunciation! It is, after all, a gas giant.

I thought Uranus got demoted.

I don’t think so.

Until now, it was not something I gave much thought to…

Well, they don’t say U’-ranium (accent on first syllable)…

oorawnoos

yea!!!!!!

Whenever I hear “Bob” I immediately think about Black Adder and “bub”.
