    No because I use Wisk detergent.  Wisk wipes the ring around Uranus clean away.  Do you have a ring around Uranus?  Then you should try Wisk.
    "Look, there's no more ring around Uranus"

    (Wisk also helps eliminate the nasty Klingons that sometimes circle Uranus)

    No its true. There really are rings around Uranus. Just not as spectacular as Jupiter or Neptunes.

    Yes, :) :)
    We also have rings around Earth.  It's because we are sooooo wasteful and disrespectful. 
    It is of our garbage.  Don't even get me started....

    It's more a cloud of space junk around the Earth, unlike natural ring systems which circle the equators of the gas/ice giants. Our bits of disused satellites and discarded rocket stages aren't that well-organized, they're all over the sky.

    Yep. They're hard to see, because Uranus' axis is tilted at almost 90° to the ecliptic, it's the one planet that actually has a "dark side". As a result the rings never occulde the planet, casting a shadow. They were discovered by accident, when new and better telescopes trained on the planet picked up shadows across its moons.

    I also know you can fit 63 Earths in Uranus - 64 if you relax ...
