Uranus is weird, but I like it.

Way less weird than Venus. Poor Venus, nobody ever notices its quirks.

In the early solar system, Uranus seems to been hit by another body or it may have been perturbed by the gravitational influence of a large moon early in its formation.

The early solar system was strange and chaotic, and Uranus is evidence of that.
