    Did anyone ever go to Space Camp? That picture took me back.


    Not that I would do anything as nerdy as Space Camp...

    Can you imagine what an incredibly strange experience it is to be floating like this, in actual space?

    I think about that a lot.

    I also ate a lot of 'shrooms a while back and I'm thinking maybe that had something to with it.

    See, it's only the size of a closet, but you have the added bonus of zero g, which means you can utilize all four walls, the floor, AND the ceiling. That closet is so much bigger without gravity.

    I have to imagine that some things in life are so cool that they just wipe out all thoughts of sex.


    I'd say being in space is probably one of them.
