Just look at all those beautiful Nikkors floating around in zero-g.  It's
just another example of taking the proper tools with you when you have to
get the job done.  Sadly, Canon washed out in basic training.  Why wasn't
there ever a single Canon film or dSLR ever selected to go into space?

Caution!  This image is highly erotic due to the inordinately large supply
of Nikkors.

Sorry, Rita, please go to the moon and retrieve a number of Hassleblads. If,
however, they were not left by Astronauts,then H.G.Well's subterranean
creatures have made bloody good copies.

What is the Fujinon (right edge of picture, about 1/3 down from top)
doing there?

Why have any duplicates hanging around at all?  Why not just use the
replicator (LHS, 1/3 down) as and when needed?

Rita seems to be another RichA--looking for bad stuff about anything and a
pushy whiner. probably from New York.

Xenophobic?

In any event, please do not insult my groupie Rita. He's really quite a
sport, and when he's not amusing, he prefers that I chastise him, not a
stranger.

What are you talking about??
Rita is **MY** groupie!!
He's been obsessed with me ever since my Hawk photos, and still foams at the
mouth when he sees my "Mark²" posts...
He's in my kill-file for being a useless a.s...but let's keep things
straight...after all...

Some higher-end mental institutions have recreation rooms with Internet
access.  They are said to be very therapeutic.
