Concerning the "people don't explode in vacuums" fact:

   I'll second that.  One day, when I was just a wee laddy, I was lying on the
living room floor (building a geodesic Church of Melvin the Agnostic out of
blocks, no doubt), when mummy ran me over with the Hoover.  The vacuum itself
wasn't bad, but the beater mechanism pummeled the bejesus out of my head. 
(That would probably explain this posting.)
