Happy birthday to Uranus!

On 3/13/1781, William Herschel observed Uranus and correctly identified it as a planet rather than a star. If we'd only taken his suggestion to name the planet after King George III, we would have been spared centuries of schoolboy sniggers about the "discovery of your anus".

@donutage can you imagine if it had another name. No jokes? What a world.
