I'm really excited to see they included data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory center. I can't wait to see an x-ray of Uranus.

Okay, now it's my turn to play skeptic. There's no way that's real (aren't there any screws or metal in a Buzz Lightyear toy?), and there's no way an airport would use whole body x-rays like that. There are some systems that use x-rays to scan an entire body, but they aren't the kind of penetrating x-rays that would produce that sort of image.

So I will file this as another example of 'humor', one of the stranger forms of human behavior that I am nevertheless growing somewhat accustomed to.

Okay, that does it. You moderators have far too much idle time on your hands.

Luckily scientists will rename Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. It will be called "Urectum" instead.
