Uranus renamed to stop the bad jokes...

(AP) Sick to death of bad puns based on the name of the planet Uranus, world scientests have unilaterally agreed that the planet needs a new name. "The toilet humor has gone too far", states Dr. Stroganov of the International Consortium of Astronomical Scientific Studies (I.C.A.S.S.) "We will no longer be ridiculed by a scientifically ignorant public. The name was supposed to be pronounced YU-ruh-nus but people insisted on calling it "Your anus".
I.C.A.S.S. has come up with a list of alternate names, one of which will be chosen next week by ballot. The alternatives are as follows:
Urectum
Ursphincter
Urasshole
GoatseWorld

In the interim, I.C.A.S.S. has asked the public to refrain from making inconsiderate and tasteless puns about Uranus.
