I'll spare you the gory details, but something similar happened to a friend of mine once when he got rather ill. He drank blue Powerade, and it came out... blue... ish...
The EMT friend who was looking after him was getting ready to call an ambulance, since that basically meant his digestive system was in the process of shutting down. Fortunately, he was able to get a doctor on the phone who instructed him to crush a dose of Tylenol, mix it into water, and have my friend drink it. It was odd, but it helped bring down the symptoms so my friend could start drinking again.
I have the feeling that the news article I got when I clicked on the link (New ring around Uranus is blue, scientists find ) is NOT the one you'all are talking about.
Also, Ouranos, first son and also husband[1] of Gaia, had a son, Kronos[2], who ate all his own children without even bothering to chew, because of a prophecy that said one of his children would overthrow him. Needless to say, on of those kids escaped from the cannibalfest[1] and, mainly due to that bad habit, decided to, in fact, overthrow him -- and so Zeus killed his father[1], slit his belly open, and out came Little Red Riding Ho^W^W^W^WZeus's siblings, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, and Hera (Zeus' wife[1]).
Which is really a much more interesting association than your-anus jokes.
[1] They're Greeks, it's apparently expected.
[2] Who, incidentally, killed him by Bobbittising him[1], at the request of his mother & grandmother-through-his-father[1] -- and when they threw his genitals into the sea, that's where Aphrodite came from.

He could just be sick

And that's your daily dose of surreal!
