Hehe.
Ahh... blinking lights... Enya... zzz..
I was thinking the same thing. Also the 4x6x2? older style space canopies work
well, if you're not using them. But any full-sized canopy should do it. And
IIRC you won't need to fold their legs. You won't get that nice round, snug,
"iron lung" look like Sproaticus is suggesting, but it's an alternative.
