> The TV in the lobby of the dorm where I live has what is apparently the NASA channel, showing nothing but boring films made in space. A couple days ago, I watched the channel for a few minutes.

Amazingly, basketballs flew straight instead of without an arc, tossed balls didn't come back down to land in a cup, horseshoes bounced off the stakes, Jacob's ladder didn't work, and sticks spun when struck on the end.
