Jokes & Humor - Is there a ring around Uranus?

If there is, it's probably not very visible, though it might be difficult to see for oneself. But it would be helpful to have visual confirmation. If it's there, some might think it wouldn't matter much, as if it's just a curiosity, one of those things that would be interesting to know and talk about. But questions occur, like:

--How long has it been there?
--How long will it remain?
--What is it made of, particles? Gasses? Or some other unknown substance?
--Can probes detect it's composition?
--Is it flammable?
--Is it poisonous?
--How does it react to sunlight? Temperature?
--Who first discovered it, and what did they think when they first saw it?
--How did it get there in the first place?
--What other foreign bodies might be nearby?
--Is it hidden from view? If so, by what?

There was a time in man's history when he did not know, or seek to know, the answers to these questions. Indeed, he lived out his days in blissful ignorance. But now that we are aware of it's possible existence, we will never be comfortable unless we know for sure.

yes, but very faint
--How long has it been there?
since shortly after Uranus

--How long will it remain?
until the end of the planet
--What is it made of, particles? Gasses? Or some other unknown substance?
vapors of gas, h2o and dusts
--Can probes detect it's composition?
yes, but maybe they shouldn't go there
--Is it flammable?
no, not by conventional standards
--Is it poisonous?
yes... contains even some polonium
--How does it react to sunlight? Temperature?
nearly invisible temperature increase would destroy its integrity and wipe
it out
--Who first discovered it, and what did they think when they first saw it?
ah... what a pinata
--How did it get there in the first place?
cosmic abnormality: foundation of the solar system
--What other foreign bodies might be nearby?
small asteroids (but very rare)
--Is it hidden from view? If so, by what?
yes the darkness obscures its existence in the minds of science

That's the solution! :beer:

--How did it get there in the first place?
cosmic abnormality: foundation of the solar system
That's my excuse.

--What other foreign bodies might be nearby?
small asteroids (but very rare)
Yes, well, not anymore, at least not for me.

--Is it hidden from view? If so, by what?
yes the darkness obscures its existence in the minds of science
Yes, darkness does obscure it, but that doesn't guarantee it won't be discovered!

Well I guess Jacob would know about these things. After all, he comes from there.

Jacob does not come from Uranus. Like me, he comes from Stone Mountain, 14 miles outside Uranus.

the star ship Charman, circles Uranus, searching for Klingons.

Well I guess Jacob would know about these things. After all, he comes from there.
and how good it is that he is back out on parole!

There is one word you seek in your quest, and that word is...

DINGLEBERRIES!!!

i think its pronouced ura-ness.

i think its pronouced ura-ness.

Only in the past decade or so have they changed the pronunciation. I think the a$$-tronomers were tires of everyone chuckling ant the symposiums whrn the confused Uranus with your anus.


Just a thought... Ok, I'll ***** down & sut up.
