HUGE. Testicles.

One of my fourteen thousand hobbies happens to be reading astronaut biographies and histories, especially those involved with the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. 

Of course, my brain being the giant grease-trap of trivia that it is, I get these facts and factoids stuck in there.  I could walk around at parties and insert these random tidbits into general conversation, but it's not like I get invited to a lot of parties anyway, and I've seen how other people react when somebody walks up to a group of three or four people having a small conversation and announces, "Did you know that medieval armies used the trebuchet to launch plague-ridden corpses inside the walls of cities under siege?  They did, you know."

Of course, this is the Internet, where all Asperger's patients have a home, and I am no different. 

So here are some bits of trivia I have accrued over the years about the original Mercury Seven astronauts. Read more.
