I've always wondered about the pillock that named that planet. presumably he was educated enough to be able to use a telescope.
I've also wondered why all the incredibly clever and respected scientist and astronomers havent just renamed it Fred.
Talk about making your profession a laughing stock

Yeah, but just about all "software-y" stuff has daft names - "Coming soon to a PC near you: "Thunderbox" the all-in-one web browser, appointments diary, personal organizer, shopping list, bill payer, and dog walkies reminder"!). Or something ...........

Like "management consultant's-speak", it's called yuckspeak in the real world
