The evidence comes in the form of British astronaut Buzz Anderson, who continues to float everywhere even though his ISS assignment ended over a fortnight ago.</p> <p>Buzz’s pragmatic wife Andrea said she did not understand what all the fuss was about. “Not believing in gravity is surely a matter for the individual’s personal conscience,” she said, “and it’s also very useful for changing the light bulb on the landing and getting the cobwebs down while he’s up there.”</p> <p>Anderson’s mother said Buzz – named after space hero Buzz Lightyear – had been a bouncy baby and high as a kite as a teenager. “It’s probably genetic,” she said; “his father flew a lot.”</p> <p>Levitating Buddhists from Tibet, however, dispute the idea of congenital buoyancy. “I spent many years in a profound state of meditation, seeking nirvana on the astral pane,” said Chi Wo, “and managed six inches off the ground. This Anderson is obviously a freak, he’s what we call a ‘floater’. It’s probably wind.”</p> <p>But down-to-earth Andrea dismissed the entire debate. “It’s all going over my head,” she said, “I like a gin before dinner, not a discourse in metaphysics. Now, are you coming down for your dinner, Buzz, or do you want it up there on the ceiling?” </p>
