Have read the article that said they have detected traces of Hydrogen Sulphide in Uranus' atmosphere. Not sure I want to go there now.

They also commented that the H2S would be the least of your problems. The absence of oxygen is a bigger problem but not the biggest. Before you could asphyxiate you would be snap-frozen by the cryogenic temperatures.

I was just reading up on the Greek legend of Uranus. Seems he had his package cut off by the god Cronos who threw them into the sea - and to make matters more interesting, it seems that from them sprang the goddess Aprodite. Seems there's more to Uranus than some smelly gas.
Those Greeks had some serious imagination.
