In case you find yourself without your space suit...

I've not seen this discussed before, but this post discusses what would happen to you if your body were unprotected in space. Actually it's not quite as extreme as portrayed in the movies, and surprisingly it indicates you could probably survive for a while in space without a suit. And despite the extreme cold you wouldn't immediately turn into an ice cube because despite the cold there's so little air to take your body heat away.
