Extravehicular Mobility Unit = Space Suit. Hmmm. On the same subject, I
seem to remember that a quaint jargonese expression was used by the
Apollo astronauts when they wanted to use the lavatory. Can anyone
remember what it was? Do the Shuttle crews use a similar phrase?

I extend positive felicitational enjoyability-mode sentiments for the
duration of the Yuletide Festivity Period :-)
