Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 07, 2024

Newer textbooks may not even mention it.

The gas giants – Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune should go over well.

Io is the farting moon. (Volcanos).

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.

Well, it is one of the gassy planets.

What does the Starship Enterprise have in common with toilet paper? They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons!

Ohhh!

Scientists have confirmed that Uranus’ atmosphere contains hydrogen sulfide.

So yes the jokes are appropriate.

The old Star Trek joke “Kirk is going around Uranus to look for Klingons” – Popular in Grade School?!

When the “experts” (BOOOO!) demoted Pluto, my family members argued thusly, “Pluto is a PLANET!”, “No, Pluto is a DOG!”

What is she rubbing on her arm?

♫ Interplanet Janet, she’s a galaxy girl… ♫ (Schoolhouse Rock)

My college Astronomy professor pronounced it “YOU-ruh-nuss”. Anybody else have that professor?

Uranus is sideways.

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

No matter which way it is pronounced it is funny!!

Hammie, shouting from his bedroom – “What’s brown and round? Uranus!”

The Hammster in his element.

“They changed that planet’s name so people would stop making those stupid jokes.”“So what did they change it to?”“Urectum.”

Don’t encourage him, Darryl.

Rock it!!

There are 4 million Uranus jokes????

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.

That count seems a bit high, more like fourteen…. at the most

I was concerned when a nervous titter ran through the room.

Hammie would probably believe it if someone told him that it was called “tu ano” in Spanish.

Well, it IS a gassy planet.

What were they thinking when the named the planet that? XD XD XD XD XD

The correct scientific pronunciation is YOURinis

You may not want to repeat those jokes in class Hammie.

Man Hammie is behind in his jokes.

Here I sit broken hearted

I came to read a serious discussion and got sophomoric jokes.

(Wait, that doesn’t even rhyme.)

Hammie is a natural. Any father would be proud of him.

I’ve been saying it “that way” for most of my life, eight years of saying a rude word.

I Sat On An Urn

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.
