Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus
TheDawgLives writes "Just as we near the end of the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, winds whirl and clouds churn 2 billion miles away in the atmosphere of Uranus, forming a dark vortex large enough to engulf two-thirds of the United States."
Must... resist... bad... jokes...
Insert butt joke [here]

... still waiting for this free-as-in-beer free beer I keep hearing about.
I'd like to know when this will happen so I can move to, say, Canada.

>>forming a dark vortex large enough to engulf two-thirds of the United States
We can't allow the dark vortex to engulf America. We must freedomize Uranus or the dark vortex terrorists will win.
They've found Klingons on Uranus!
Due to the decades of jokes involving the name of this planet, and in light of the fact that a change in pronunciation during the 80's did nothing to curb the lowbrow humor, the same panel of scientists who removed Pluto from our solar system, have deciced to rename Uranus. Henceforth, this planet shall be referred to as Urectum.

We're going for the fucking record here!
Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urrectum. Here, let me locate it for you.

It just makes you look desperate for a +5 funny.
The poor planet has been the butt of far too many attempts at humor.
now that's a bad case of wind..
which is totally what she said
Not sure, but is "wpot" not supposed to have two t's?
One camp of scientists believe the dark spot is raised in elevation and are thus vying to name it "the turtlehead" whereas another group believes that it is actually a hole, and is fighting to name the spot "puckered starfish". More to follow.
And I knew.. there would not be ONE serious discussion on the topic. People asking for a cessation of rectal humor are basically.. well.. fartin in the wind.
I'm a fiscal conservative, it's a pity we don't have a political party anymore
and it has a dark spot... I wish I could say I am mature enough not to laugh, but I'm not.

the more they over-think the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the pipe
LOL! Where are moderation points when you need them!
Isn't the Hubble supposed to be pointing away from Earth?
#DeleteChrome
Yes, but is that the P. Fry from Earth, or the P. Fry from Hovering Squid World 97-A?
No, no, no. I am not going to look up Uranus to see if it is full of methane gas. I'm not falling for that one again.

I was so excited by this fascinating story that I went out and told our cute secretary, "Hey, guess what? There's a dark spot on Uranus and it's large enough to engulf two-thirds of the United States!" Somehow, I don't think she knew what I meant...
