While I'm sure (I hope) that they're nice to look at, these animations have been fun for me from a science geek perspective because I get to fool around with sex positions that might actually be practical in a weightless environment. Apparently the mechanics of getting people to successfully copulate without gravity anchoring them down is supposed to be very tricky. Suggested solutions have ranged from everything from ridiculous Velcro two-person snuggy suits to zero-g “love hammocks” to slightly more practical ideas like using tie-downs or conveniently placed handles. For these animations I stuck with methods that don't require extra equipment. The “porpoise” technique on the previous page looks like it could be fun. The “wedge” technique in the last box on this page seems like probably the easiest way to get intimate in space without Velcro and buckles… though the accumulating zero-g fluids are decidedly unsexy. I should send this stuff in to NASA!

***SPECIAL ALERT!***


I'm going to be changing up the way I post for probably the next two weeks. There are two reasons for that: First, the next several pages are kinda boring and, honestly, not very good. A lot of info dump and TONS of boring dialogue and stuff. So usually whenever I have boring pages, I like to post them in rapid succession just to get through them. Also, the Drunk Duck Awards are coming up and, assuming you wonderful people nominate me for anything, I'd like to have as much as possible of the page buffer posted for the judges to yawn and snicker at.

So long story short, for at least the next two weeks I'll be posting three pages a week instead of two. That's not a good thing though, because it means I won't be able to post snazzy cool animations with every update. It'll probably be every other update, if not every other other update. But I won't be abandoning the animations altogether. We still haven't gotten to see what happens to Agent Six and his sexy companion! So hang in there, folks! Things do get better, but for now you're in for two weeks of dull blah blah blah and less animations. Consider it a test of love.

Also, if that blinking “Lighting Week” banner killed anyone with epilepsy, uh, sorry bout dat. But you died for a good cause.
