Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the true annoyances that astronauts found with free fall was that they tended to get sinus headaches, because the lack of gravity affects how blood etc moves around the body tissues -- hence, really noticeable sinus swelling and headache. Which was a great bother to the astronauts, many of whom hadn't had a sick day in their lives.

That heaven-o story is from 1997.
It reminds me of some local (NC) churches that put up signs for "Holy-ween" in place of Halloween. Thus privileging the sanctity of a "ween," whatever that might be, rather than celebrating a hallowed (i.e., holy) e'en (evening).

you'd probably set at least a little clearing if you took a breath right before exposure and closed your mouth.
Don't hold your breath in a vacuum! Explosive decompression stops being fun when it happens to your lungs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What To Do When You Get Spaced:
1) Don't hold your breath.
2) Don't breathe.
3) Don't move, lest you send yourself spinning off wildly into the Black.
4) Wait for rescue.
5) Enjoy the view! It'll all be over in about 30 seconds, one way or another.

What To Do When You Get Spaced:
Let's suppose you're floating in the vacuum of space without a spacesuit, and just a few feet away is the airlock hatch. You can't reach the hatch from where you are. Could you propel yourself to the hatch in time if you farted?
