Why isn't it dry in outer space, you ask? Because of all the uni (う) swimming around up there. They have nasty, wet, pointy spikes and they're all over the place.

Look closely up at outer space and you'll see all of the uni floating around up there. They're really dark, so it can be hard to notice them, but I promise you, they're there.
