Do you think you could spend 520 days with someone in the same room?
Well astronaunts are preparing for a possible misson for mars and are having astronaunts prepare for it by just this very thing. They have no internet or tv.

520 Days

What I found funny about it is, in the video it said they'll come out in 2011. But then the Mars misson will take 520 days to get there, spend a month and then come back.

Without Internet:

1st day: Lift-off, they start conversation
5th day: Morale starts to decrease slightly, interest decreases
15th day: Conversation gets dull, turn to Rock Paper Scissors
50th day: Rock Paper Scissors gets old, resumes dull conversation
70th day: Sanity starts to unravel; crap that makes no sense starts to spew out of their mouths, loses track of the date
100th day: Sanity starts to unravel further, resumes Rock Paper Scissors
150th day: Sanity stops unraveling, depression starts
200th day: Suicidal thoughts now start to occur
250th day: Sanity starts to unravel again, starts to hallucinate
350th day: Claustrophobia starts to set in
365th day: 1 year in the spacecraft, doesn't even realize
450th day: Nervous breakdowns and fits start to occur
520th day: Finally arrives, but lack of clear judgment leads to deadly consequences

With Internet

1st-520th day: Smooth sailing

Um, Bunnyripper.

1. They aren't actually leaving Earth to Mars.
2. If they did, then how the heck would they get internet while in flight?

Following Bunnyrippers model:

With ugly female: Days 1-520 go insane
With hot female: Days 1-520 gain more sanity than when you left off

Flight attendant please!

Alright, I see the need for some real information to be put here.

This 520 day experiment is the third stage in a project called Mars500, being undertaken by the ESA to simulate the conditions space explorers would be under in the event of an expedition to Mars.

This is the project's homepage on the ESA website.

Some more information for you.
