I saw the funniest thing on tv

[yamifixer]

the wife was watching something (i have no idea i was reading but in the room) and for some reason i looked up to see a commecial for Avodart, a prostate drug were a man is making models of the solar system. towards the end of it he is holding a grapefuit sized Uranus while saying how it works.

maybe it's me but  that is the knid of this that makes me howl.

That is pretty awesome.  While In DC, on the sidewalk in front of the air and space smithsonian there is an informative plaque.  It is titled "A Voyage to Uranus"  Made me chuckle enough to take a picture of it.

Im just remembering how it phonetically sounded from my mythology class.  I remember the teacher saying something along the lines of "its not YOUR-ANUS" it is really....(it was in a Roman or Greek way in how he said it).

I had no idea that was Uranus, so the prop was just lost on me.

Hate to be a killjoy, but that was Neptune.
