I have a 12 year old son, so my potty humor is in its Renaissance. Of course that sheds new light on this quote from the article...

(Guess which position Alf favored. ) Henry

Hey, just come out and say it! The "blandest planet in the outer Solar System" prefers the missionary plane of the ecliptic. Sorry. -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?
