You do, the nitrogen in your blood expands due to the vacuum of space and causes pretty much every drop of blood in your body to boil instantly.

Then the pressure differential will pull your brain out through your eye sockets.

And the 2 degree Kelvin temperature would instantly cool your boiled blood and cause it to crystalize, effectively shredding every bit of tissue in your being.

That's exactly what I heard
More facts:
-People who become blind AFTER birth see images in dreams
-Women have a better sense of smell than men.
-Hippo milk is pink.
-More than ten people a year are killed by vending machines.
-Cows can sleep standing up, but they can only dream lying down.
