If the headline with Uranus in it wasn't enough, the accompanying picture didn’t exactly help matters.

Childish it may be, but any mention of the word ‘Uranus’ in public discourse is always likely to garner a giggle or two. Don't say you didn't crack up anytime it was mentioned in school. We all did. So when The New Science, a Twitter account with over 61,000 followers, tweeted a post with the following headline on Monday, it was always likely to bring out the child in many of those who came across it. If the headline on its own wasn’t enough, the accompanying image was just crying out for piss-taking. https://twitter.com/NewScienceWrld/status/876747897173409792 To be honest, with a goal as open as this one, you’d be disappointed if people didn’t deliver inevitable responses and plenty of them hit the back of the net. If childish humour is your thing, this might be the best thing you’ll see all week. https://twitter.com/RogerQuimbly/status/876798760902434816 https://twitter.com/DJ_Just_Coolin/status/876792025261232130 https://twitter.com/HeriAliMwapachu/status/876794895243124737 https://twitter.com/blobert/status/876797393714466818 https://twitter.com/ProletariatDsgn/status/876804800708435968 https://twitter.com/ClassyChester/status/876804006793936896 https://twitter.com/RdotPi/status/876800553325613057 https://twitter.com/RyanJent/status/876803996924686336
