say a guy was in shorts and a t shirt, in the space shuttle, and was sucked out, what effect would space have on his/her body with no protection, (space suit)

It is a very morbid thought.
In a few seconds it will be dead. If the body orbits the Earth and being exposed to the Sun it will be cooking on one side and freezing on the other. Gasses trapped inside the body would try to escape from all the orifices...
Sorry it is too much I have run to run ...

Space is a vacuum so he would die from severe hemorrhage from the internal pressure of his own body Vs. the vacuum of space. In this extreme environment it would only take a matter of seconds. He would literally explode from within until the pressures inside his body were equalized with space.

He would explode because of lack of atmospheric pressure.
