Old dude here. This could actually be a real book. The Choose Your Own Adventure series were huge in the 80s and 90s. They produced dozens of books across multiple collections. This weird ass cover is par for the course.
Of those, I’ve read: Your Code Name is Jonah, Inside UFO 54-40, The Forbidden Castle, Underground Kingdom, Space Patrol, The Phantom Submarine, War With the Evil Power Master (my favorite), and Return to Atlantis. I loved those books.
In mythology, Uranus (or Ouranos) is the son AND husband of Gaia (Earth). They had 18 kids together, but he hated having kids, so he hid the kids inside Gaia… in a cave I guess, presumably not the same cave he was having sex with. In response, she gave the youngest, Cronus, a magic sickle and he castrated Ouranos. So somehow, despite 63 Earths being able to fit inside Uranus, Uranus managed to fit himself inside of Earth at least 18 times.
It’s also crazy that astronomers didn’t go with the objectively cooler ‘Ouranos’ spelling of the name, and instead went with the ‘Your Anus’ spelling.
presumably not the same cave he was having sex with
It was exactly the same cave he was having sex with. He refused to remove his penis to prevent their children from leaving the womb cave, so Kronos had to castrate Ouranos so they could emerge.
The great thing about this is that “a” can be pronounced as either long or short a. At least, that’s how it’s used where I live, I’m not sure if that’s actually “correct.”
