How much will it cost to send a probe to Uranus?
When can we get said probe up there?

What will we find on Uranus?

Can we send monkeys to Uranus?

What can Uranus teach us?

Is Uranus bigger than Mars?

These are just a few questions that I have about Uranus, do you have any?

2. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks
I believe it will cost my insurance company about $2K.

17. Don't neglect Uranus
Seriously, if you are of colonoscopy age or at risk of colon cancer due to bad genes (as I am) the six-foot colon snake is cheap insurance against a terrible, protracted, painful death.

18. I've been on Uranus
and there's not a feeling like it in the world. It's like torpedoing through two clouds and ending up in heaven! :-)
