Reminds me of one of my phasers. Wanted to name it "Uranus" (which is
completely innocent in German), but my American friends convinced me that
"Neptune" was a better choice.



Yeah, that's a planet that perennially gets giggles in grade school classes.
Any English-speaking space comedy film seems required to point out the
ostensible humor in that name as well.
