A few fun facts for the day...in imperial measures a butt is a cask of liquid. In the wine and brewing world a butt is 108 imperial gallons or 126 U.S. gallons which by anyone's standards is a buttload. Speaking of butts, before Uranus was named for the Greek god of the sky it was called George's Star after King George III though that name wasn't readily accepted by the astronomy community so in 1850 the planet got renamed Uranus.
