I quite like boxers, myself. As my waistline continues to shrink, I find myself contemplating a trip to Asda to buy new, smaller pairs so there may be a shopping LJ post on my blog shortly.
The original plan for the Cassini probe was that they were going to fly her as close to Enceladus as some 25 km - on Earth, this'd be inside the atmosphere, but on Enceladus it's probably still hardish vacuum at that height from the surface.
As it is, NASA bottled out, and now they're talking about 50 km; either way, the course takes Cassini through one of that moon's mysterious vapour plumes:
In one episode of The Flintstones, when the Rubbles' home was flooded (Fred again!) Barney and Betty, the prehistoric abductees, were forced to move into Fred and Wilma's. Fred and Barney slept on the chair and the couch, of course ... but (quite innocently, I might add) Wilma and Betty declared that they were going to share Fred's marital bed - a comment that had me acquire a sudden newfound interest in their Antediluvian antics.
As for whether they continued swinging post-children ... it was probably a combination of peer pressure and necessity: with the onset of global cooling and encroaching glaciation, the citizens of Bedrock were starting to get desperate towards the end. Fossil evidence shows that food was getting so scarce they were forced to kill and eat their own washing machines.
