I remember in the late 60's there were a bunch of h.s. science teachers raising a stink about kids rhyming uranus with "you-r-anus" so, being overly PC, they started rhyming it with "urine us." I am happy to report that the Greek god, the planet was named for, has not suffered a similar affliction (at least not at the university I hung around at 10 years ago). I still call them both "you ray nus."
