    It goes around Uranus
    wiping out Klingons.

    (Yes, I know, I used this gag once before. It's the only joke I know about Uranus.)

    I'll have to take your word for it. It's kind of hard for me to see it.

      That's only because you haven't explored it closely enough.  Aren't you an asstronaut or something like that?

    The Earth used to have rings. Ancient myths mention a sea that went all the way around the Earth. In China they thought the tree of life was heaven, and the sea in the southern sky was the kingdom of the dead, and they lived on the middle kingdom, and in Chinese that is "chung-gua" which we pronounce "China".

    In Egypt the planet's shadow on the rings looked important, and that is why you see lots of images with raised arms and a bull with a moon between his horns and similar figures. They called it "two horizons".

    When the tree of life and the rings collapsed, it looked like rain and that is why the flood is recorded by tribes all around the globe, but no evidence of a flood of water has been found. (There were two world wide floods before Noah's flood.)
