There's a free paper that they give out on the train called 'The Metro'. It's filled with inuendo, opinion, and editing so bad that even I know it's wrong. I'm convinced it's all college kids having a laugh.
They chose to cover the story with this title.
"Interesting Things Found Around Uranus"
I laughed outloud on the train again and got the look from everybody....
you actually beat me too it. I saw that, but was too busy today to get on it....

It's the best! There are so many good lines in the article too ...
"they re-examined images that the Voyager 2 spacecraft took when it flew by Uranus in 1986."
1986 is mostly a blur for me but you'd think I'd remember a spacecraft flying by ..
Even better is ...
"Sometimes you find things you aren't looking for," Showalter said. "No one thought this region of Uranus was very interesting."
I mean come ON! Are they doing this on purpose??

Who named that planet anyway? That guy deserves an award.
Also, it's my opinion that nothing says top-notch reporting like the word "things".
except maybe the word "stuff" or "and such"
