Weightless fingernail trimming - bits go everywhere!
So we cut them over a fan filter intake and vacuum them up when done (keeps someone from inadvertently breathing them, floating around). 
Note the velcro on the clippers, for 0G storage. And the loud ambient sound of living inside a spaceship.
Do you gain weight in space? How would you know?
Obviously a weigh scale won't work when we're weightless. So we climb on an oscillating spring, and time the change in speed. From that, we can calculate our weight (or 'mass'). 
After 6 months I stayed the same mass, but lost fat & gained muscle with the healthy diet (no beer or pizza) and daily exercise. 
The most exclusive of all health spas :)

Flying the world's largest centrifuge. 
When manually piloting a space capsule back into Earth's atmosphere, it's easy to get to 8 times the force of gravity. 
In this 18m behemoth trainer, you feel the real forces as you maneuver. A well-flown reentry is about 4G, ballistic backup mode is 8 or 9G. 
The all-time worst was 21.3G during the Soyuz 18a launch abort - but they survived.
Duct tape double take! 
When you're waiting for the next reporter's question and you suddenly notice the handy roll of Mach 25 tape, and can't help playing with it in weightlessness. 
Don't leave Earth without it!
