cant help thinking that the guy next to mrs obahma has just cracked the "he's looking up uranus" joke

[insomnia]

Reminds me of a joke on Futurama.....

"Hey doc... I can smell Uranus!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Fry, scientists renamed Uranus years ago to rid the earth of that stupid joke once and for all. Now it's called Urectum!"

No doubt that's now known as 'Telescope One'

I was at a conference in Washington last year, and every time we passed the ATM right opposite the White House somebody would refer to 'Visiting Cash Point One'

I reckon they deliberately put the scope at that steep angle so that Michelle Obama would do this.

I wish I had a nice bum like that.

Barak can't even look at it, for fear of being carried away!

It'd be nice if the president was moved enough by this to get serious on light pollution - ideally world-wide!
