There's a cloud of foul smelling gas above uranus.

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Methane has no odor. The reaky smell comes from added methyl mercaptan. So when you smell that, you're also smelling the unsmellable methane.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

This is true. They add the rotten smell to propane as well.

Well, actually, when you typically encounter methane it is mixed with hydrogen sulfide, which has that rotten egg smell. I built a railroad site over a landfill one time. The place smelled horrible and we were constantly encountering methane leaking from where piles had been driven. They would catch fire (which you can't see) when the welders would cut the piles to length.
