In Spanish the joke was translated. I didn't catch it the first time 
I read it and the second time I thought that it was a really bad 
joke but maybe that's just my opinion.

They translated Uranus and used an hyphen on it. Uranus is translated 
as Urano, and it was written as Ur-ano where "ano" is "anus" in 
Spanish. Of course the "Ur" part didn't have any sense and that's why 
I didn't found it funny. 

Hope this helped you.
