For anyone who wants a bit of amusement (and a good mind-stretching question), check out this thread, in which the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer discusses the possibility of its joining the Society...
I like his, because it's factual. I read one of the others -- his sweetie -- and at least recently it was so giggly and uber-girlish that I had no interest in reading any more of it.
So where do you go to read the gorilla journals you mentioned?
Down at the end of the thread when I just checked it someone brought up the concept of galliards in microgravity.... My immediate (and posted) response was to wonder how long it would take before someone out there choreographed the first ten-thousand-count galliard sequence--and then before someone would perform it. The odd part being, of course, that all then thousand counts would take place in the air. Hmmm. Would movement by the legs move enough air to cause problems with heading for bulkheads? Up/down orientation would be problematic. What would be the right garb to wear for that performance?

I think the answer to the last question solves both these problems: wear bungee cords.
