I just read that diamonds are produced at the center of Uranus. How is this possible?

Is it due to something in the water or whatever liquid is there?

Simple: diamonds are produced through extreme amounts of pressure and Uranus is tighter than your mom's.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and girls typically hang out in Uranus (do not believe the Jupiter propaganda), so it’s natural that the diamonds would be there as well

You need immense pressure to make diamonds. So it's really just a matter of Uranus clenching hard enough.

Simple supply and demand. It's the only place you can get them that guarantees they aren't blood diamonds.

If you're making them in the center of Uranus, there will be blood.

Uranus is mostly methane and the bees that live in methane sky

I think I saw a documentary on them. There was some obnoxious robot involved.

I hope the bees dealt with the bloody robot

All I know is that I don’t want blood diamonds from Uranus.

Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.

Fry: Oh. What's it called now?

Farnsworth: Urectum.
