...or when you look down the top of a lampshade, it reminds you of the shuttle's centerline camera view..

That reminds me of the shape of EUMETSAT (which isn't hollow, obviously).

The lampshade texture even bears a small resemblance to the external solar panels.

... When you project opinions like this because you genuinely think that doing so doesn't promote insanity.

..when you start to see UFO's in orbiter without using the scenario-editor to put them there.

..when you think orbiter is a secret plot by the aliens to learn us how to navigate in space, in case we need it in the future.

..when you are doing energy-efficient Hohman-transfers in traffic while cycling, meanwhile estimating the influences of the masses of all the other trafficers on your trajectory.

... When you want to calculate the specific gravity of your nearest McDonalds store to see if you could slingshot around it or wether it is generating it's own atmosphere.

GUILY!

...when you read about NASA missions such as LRO and MRO and all you can think is, "Now we'll have even better textures and data for Orbiter!"

Can't wait for that data from Pluto!

When you close your eyes to sleep at night and all you can see are three concentric circles surrounding two perpendicular lines with a grey X and a green plus running through the middle...

You are running a lap around a park and say the following instead of:

Go for auto sequence start. - Ready!
Main engine start. - Set!
Ignition! - Go!
Throttling down to 72 percent thrust. Going supersonic. - when slowing down
Throttle up. - when regaining your energy and speeding up

As you approach the finish line, you spread your arms to simulate delta wings and make a deadstick landing. :p

You go to buy a new car and ask the salesman if it comes with an RMS and External Fuel Tank

You try to imput OPS1 ITEM 777 into your microwave.

Half your harddrive is full of addons for orbiter and the other half is launch replay videos.
