Yep, that's what I sticken with.

Another reason aliens shouldn't be allowed here.

In the freshman astronomy class that I took quite a few years ago, I was taught that the reason for these planets spinning differently than other planets was massive impacts. So I don't see any new information in this article. I'm guessing that the new information is greater certainty about specific details of the impact event itself. In the case of Venus, the impact might have been a real tragedy because Venus might have become an earth-like life bearing world had it not been for the impact.

Basically, I'm just saying that I don't like the article because it gives the impression that Uranus is the only planet in the solar system that is spinning oddly because of an impact.

It doesn't say or imply that at all.  It says the impact may be responsible for Uranus' axial tilt.  It doesn't give the impression that impacts haven't affected the spin of any other planets.

Axial tilt? Is that what its called? I love ass-tronomy.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

They make them with larger diameters.

I wonder how much the writer knows about innuendos.

Is an innuendo an Italian suppository?
Disappointing theists since 1968!
