Uranus Trojan Discovered

[JonnyBGoode]

Oh come now, Pluto was the butt of the jokes last year...

How infantile..........i thought this community was better than this.......:facepalm:

You are only as old, as you feel. And I don't feel THAT old yet.

Also, remember that not all people share the same oversophisticated relation to their body.

And BTW... without the Uranus jokes, this thread would have all said and done with three posts:

"Fine, finally they found one"
"Are there Trojans and Greeks for every planet?"
"Yes"

Sorry, I outgrew body part jokes after about 6th grade. I guess I'm just old and oversophisticated.

I would have preferred such a conversation.

I grew into it. Maybe I should not joke about bodily functions. But damn, aren't humans funny?

 

[C3PO]

Some people think it's funny, some don't.

Get over it and move on.

PS: I actually laughed out loud! :lol:

Fortunately, the world is a very diverse place with wildly varying senses of humor, none of which should have any effect on one's intelligence or character. To each his own.

Concerning untranslatable jokes:

Uranus = Oo-ran
Uranium = Oo-ran
Iran = Ee-ran
Iraq = Ee-raq
Idiot = Duu-raq

So,
-Which country are we invading? Iran or Iraq?
-Idiot! Iran is a radioactive planet - Iran-238.


It's not always obvious in international community what's so rectal about Uranus.

On a serious note, how big is the area where trojan asteroids can be?
L4/L5 points are not particularly spacious, no?

Except that this isn't a comedy sub-forum, it's the astronomy forum. The one place on the internet where I had thought that the word Uranus could be used seriously.

Hahah. Uranus sounds like "Your Anus." Funny.

People need to go watch some Family Guy, or a Louis C.K. act or something. There is waaaay funnier stuff out there.

Well, if it's any consolation, every electronic shop in which I've ever worked or had dealings with (closing in on 30 years of it) had a fair amount juvenile humor running rampant.

I have to be honest, I thought some of the same stuff posted (better actually, but I figured it'd make it worse).

Given that there's all these bits of ice and rock in the solar system, I'm really not surprised with the finding. I figure all the gas giants have them (multiples actually), it's just a matter of looking.

Uranus is pretty distant, and apparently its L4 and L5 points were considered too unstable to collect much. And considering that the object is a 30 kilometer comet, it's a bit of a surprise...

And considering the "humor," I for one can't wait until 2620 when astronomers will rename the planet to put an end to the stupid jokes.

Must admit I enjoy Family Guy, but its not often we see US humour over here...oh dear, back in the the basement.

Unless of course I could go completly doo lally:

If they're called Greeks and Trojans for Jupiter and Saturn (Roman mythology) why not call them Romans and Sabines for Uranus (Greek mythology)?:lol:

I like that. The Sabines lead, while the Romans chase.

I saw this thread and thought: "I'll make an immature joke; that'll get a rise out of every one."

But then I thought "I'll not stoop to that level. The Orbiter Forum is a community of intelligent and mature people, and surely they will take umbridge in a vane attempt at scatalogical/sexual humor"

Alas I was wrong...
