I’ll say it how it was meant to be said
Oranus
Greek god of the sky
Husband of Gaea, or Greek for earth
Father (and victim) of Kronos/Cronos
Grandfather of Neptune, Zeus, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter
why not just call it “your anus.” talk about a topic starter and an ice breaker. your teaching should be fun and funny
I’mma start calling it Herschel.
do the higgs boson and the LHC
Ur anus XD
@neiotik then it would sound like or-anus which isn’t much better than your-anus for what should be obvious reasons.
this is just me, but herschel is very much remind me of pretzel.
umm, Uranus was not the GOD, he is the TITAN of the sky. He was before Zeus who was the God of the sky. sorry about the lateness but I didn’t notice until now.
Better in spanish “Urano”!
I’m an adult and I’m laughing.
Fuck it. YOUR ANUS is the BEST way to pronounce it.
it has nothing to do with inability and everything to do with the fact that today you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wasn’t taught to pronounce uranus with the y sound
If you listen closely, you can hear Pluto weeping softly.
King George! King George! Hahahahaha
*5 minutes later*
King George!!!!! King George!!!! Lolllllllllllllllll
*10 minutes later*
*Laugh to death*
Okay, thank you!
Well I live in King George County………. that would be awesome!
That would be the german pronounciation, that’s why they chose that name (I guess
)
Urane, if one would follow the usual english rape of latin names.
DP = Designated Player in MLS. I have to avoid the use of this as much as possible to have a serious conversation.
What’s worse about this though is that it’s root aren’t ingrained in history. A board table, or person actively seeked this out without realizing what implications it would have. That was created about 5 years ago when Beckham moved over to LA Galaxy – maybe it has something to do with the nature of space?
how about bob?
Rename it like futurama did. Urectum . . .
Type in Google Uranus mythology and read the Wikipedia on it.
Please tell me about it! No really, I’m not kidding, please tell me about Uranus’ balls getting cut off.
Know your Mythology.
Wtf? Balls cut off? Wait….
Hahahahahaaaaaaa… I don’t get it….
I vote Hermano. Soon all the planets will have spanish names anyway.
