And I have the math to prove it !

Indeed Big D! The kinetic energy from space collisions is immense, we only need look at the Dinosaurs to see how one rock can affect en entire planet. And we are lucky!! We have the Giants out there Like Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn catching these strays before the can reach us and pummel the earth. Uranus has endured heavy bombardment, not once, but twice! It may be what smashed it from it's regular (or perhaps expected?) tilt.

The only reliable way to change the tilt of one planet is to smash it with another planet of comparable size. While planets running into other planets isn't something that happens very often nowadays, back in the tempestuous youth of the solar system, it was relatively common: a planet the size of Mars hitting Earth four and a half billion years ago probably blasted off enough stuff to form the moon, for example. But with Uranus, one collision big enough to knock the entire planet sideways would also have screwed up Uranus' system of moons, which isn't the case.
So Uranus did take a pounding, but its moon avoided being screwed up.
It's all very serious stuff!
I'm sorry Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
