New rings found around Uranus

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two outer rings, one red, the other blue, have been observed around Uranus. The discovery has led to countless musings around offices and blogs around the world and provided endless fodder to late night comedy shows.

When reached for comment, Uranus said that it's time for the people of Earth to "grow up" and stop with the "bathroom humor."

"Just for your information, Earth, I am named after the Greek god of the sky, not the Greek god of your filthy little minds."

Uranus vowed to make a press conference again on the subject in 84 years, when it returns from its orbit around the Sun.
