I was watching a special on planet Earth (not the creationalist therory- sorry George) they said that scientists now think that life did not exsist on earth when another planet/asteroid/comet collided with ours, a peice of the original Earth became the moon.

I don't care what you say about Uranus, but if I may quote....

Blame it on the ancient Greeks.

There is a joke in that, yes?

I guess, that is if we're talking about celestial bodies..........

You guys are
inane as
only
uranus
pun makers can be.

Only if
you're an US
citizen ...

Ok, ok, I'll stop now ...

PS: Creationist? George? So he doesn't believe that the Thunderbird is to a Fender P what man is to a chimp, a distant relative, but altogether more developed?

Uranus is mostly made up of gas right?

Someone could have commented on Mercury, but no everyone wants to focus on Uranus

"Uranus is mostly made up of gas right?"

Well, if I've eaten the right things......MMmmmmmm...... yes!

I will refrain from quoting one of the funniest bits in The Groove Tube.

Wonderful vintage gag.

Barry Took and Marty Feldman created "Journey to Uranus" for Kenneth Horne in 1968 just so they could slip in lots of dodgy puns to annoy the BBC censor.

And then there's Julian and Sandy. Fantabulosa.
