"Just as we near the end of the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, winds whirl and clouds churn 2 billion miles away in the atmosphere of Uranus, forming a dark vortex large enough to engulf two-thirds of the United States."

[AnneD]

21. Nothing like a good probe...

anal, Congressional, satillite, or other of Uranus keep things functioning properly. My only concern is that since the vortex can engulf 2/3rds of the US-does this mean we are headed down the crapper?

[Wiley50]

22. It's an Intergalactic Fudge-Packing operation

Intergalactic Fudge is the finest in the entire universe

Scientists have long theorized its existence, now we have the evidence!

[Gman]

30. More TMI

First the Foley IM's, not Uranus. TMI.

[Riverman]

31. Well, the FOCUS has been on Hastert!

[Wise Doubter]
