"Why of course you have to be completely naked inside the chamber, my dear!" ;-)

Hey Mac. Mircea Eliade's book Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy recounts a myth which must surely be one of the earliest ever appearances of the tube-girl meme: "Khara-Gyrgan, having declared that his power was boundless, God put him to the test. God took a girl's soul and shut it up in a bottle. To make sure that it would not escape, God put his finger into the neck of the bottle. The shaman flew through the sky, sitting on his drum, discovered the girl's soul, and, to set it free, changed into a spider and stung God in the face."
It seems that gods (and/or aliens) have been putting women in tubes for a long time!
