...must...not...post...inappropriate...comment...
Well done on the badge! Perhaps a candidate project for another team challenge sometime, now that it's out of the test phase?
Can't help it!...
Not sure whose it is, but it's not mine!

Like hooking fish in a barrel
Not a candidate for a challenge yet. Universe@HomeTest works far better. The uploads on Universe are currently huge and their server is real slow or struggling. I have throttled it right back as at one point I had over 50 uploads stuck in the transfer tab and after 3 days I had to just give up and abort them as they were choking my systems.
I can still hear the giggling ...... schoolboys

I can see what my next badge crunching target is going to be.
It's all about the science you know, juvenile comments about the badge name is an added bonus

Well yuck it up because I recently read that due to all the jokes about Uranus, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has decided to change the planet's name to Urashole.
Sorry. I couldn't hold out any longer

I still maintain that it should have been the project slogan. Could have got an awesome project badge out of that
Why are they changing Uranus to Urascole
(Just couldn't resist .....Bwahahahahahahaha )

The text that goes with the Uranus trophy at POGS
"[Uranus] Butt of everyone's jokes - pun intended, groan away - Uranus is the not-so-little planet that got tipped on it's side back in the day. And it's made out of fart gasses. Don't laugh, it's unbecoming. 19,200 Recent Credits (RAC) today, great feat human, we're proud of you.
(Awarded for reaching an RAC of 19,200 or higher)"
And while I already hold this smelly trophy/stinkin' badge, I am just a fart away of getting it at Universe@Home too.... :)
