Useless Trivia of the Day

If your body was a scaled down version of the Solar System, with the Sun at the top of your head and Pluto at your toes, Uranus would be exactly where you would expect it to be.

oh thats just great JJ - I expect better from so called AA's - we are fighting this scourge of uranus *snigger* jokes - when ever some newb/non-astronomer cracks puerile jokes/comments when they hear the subject of astronomy - that old chestnut comes up, cheapening the good name of the solar sytem well i for one am outraged!










BTW: is it a windy location?
