They tested the guys in The Right Stuff, though!
One of the funniest things in the book is when an astronaut was given a test where he had to look at a blank piece of paper and tell the shrink what he saw. He looked dubiously at the shrink, as if fearing a trick, and said, "But it's upside-down." The shrink then looked down at the blank piece of pater to check for himself. When he looked back at the astronaut, the astronaut had a big "Gotcha!" grin....
Would it be in terribly bad taste to make a joke about tragic space dementia?
FOX News had a story this morning about the astronaut thing, and the banner across the bottom said "Astro-nut?"

All this stuff about the craxy astronaut makes me wonder if she was also sucking on a bar of soap and muttering about her ice cream bar.
It is not she who is crazy, it is she who is mad?
Yeah, but they mention that astronauts wear diapers for takeoff and re-entry so she may have just gotten used to them and decided paying at the pump and driving on was faster than visiting the loo at the Gas & Sip.
I have a Drive Gas & Sip t-shirt!

How do I obtain one of those?
I hope it stops snowing soon. I have just discovered that my shoes do not have adequate traction in slush, and I would like to make it through my day without falling down.

Seconded.
Is this a job for Cafepress?

When I die in Chicago, will you get David Hewlett to speak at my funeral?
