    I thought the title said "Leonard Nimoy Shower Observation Tips" I could feel my eyes trying to rip themselves from my sockets. Whew, thank god for second glances.

    But, alas, it misses out the vital ingredients:

    1) Invite ladyfriend along
    2) Bring blankets (can get a bit chilly)
    3) Bring whisky (see 2)
    4) Remember rehearsed "Isn't it beautiful, the depth, the colours. Alas, still not a match for your eyes" lines and other "romanticisms"
    5) Bring protection (see 1 + 4 + 3)

    You know it makes sense.
