We have to rename this thing

And miss out on stuff like this?!

Screenshot of news article with headline reading: "Nasa wants to probe deeper into Uranus than ever before

I disagree. In fact, I think we should rename the other planets so that they have funny names, too.

I propose Urpeen and Urvag for Mars and Venus respectively (and respectfully)

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Apparently we do in the year 2208

Huh?

[-] WetAndFlummoxed@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Guessing it's a reference to Futurama where the professor says they renamed it to urectum.

100%

Possible futurama reference, where they rename Uranus to Urectum.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

100% accurate

[-] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

We will!
