Here's something that I didn't know...Russia's first few manned spaceflights (Vostok and Voskhod capsules) didn't have the cosmonauts land with the space craft, they parachuted out at high altitude. It wasn't until Soyuz that the cosmonauts landed with their capsules.
I remember my favorite 'game' was to wait until my friend brought the can to his lips, and then stomp on the gas. Forced chug.
