Glad to hear it. Meanwhile, when I told someone else in the office about it, we got into a
discussion about the correct pronunciation of "Uranus." Most people pronounce it as "you
RAY nus." Astronomers say "YOU ranus," apparently ever since an astronomy professor
first asked a student "What is the diameter of you RAY nus," and nobody could keep a
straight face for the rest of the class session.
