My wife and I stayed in this exact room - the space room in Burnseville, MN about 9 years ago when we started dating. It was a hoot. We even bought campy/trashy "space-themed" outfits - Think Barbarella.

As I remember - the room was actually quite small and very poorly lit. And the hotel location was so remote on the south end of the Twin Cities metro area that there was nothing around - no bars, no take out, no delivery - nothing. The bed had a built-in TV and video game console - it was a Nintendo - the original - not a PS2 or anything along those lines. There was an AM/FM stereo cassette player as well.

I think there was a gas station across the street - we managed to pick up a bag of chips or something to eat and we received a bottle of champagne with the room - it was nasty.

I think the whole experience was more fun talking about than actually experiencing. It was cheesetacular!

A Blue Whale's penis is 12 feet long with a three foot diameter at the base. I remember hearing this on a National Geographic Special sometime in the late 70's or early 80's - I was just a little kid at the time. I ran out and grabbed the tape measure to see how big that really was and thought "Dang! That runs almost the length of our living room!" As a guy I went to high school with said when I relayed this fact to him years later - "Whoa. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that thing."
