Land Of Ice And Romance.

The Antarctic research station just received a very important shipment before winter sets in. No, not fresh tube socks or a boatload of potatoes. They got 16,500 condoms with which to while away the long freezing nights.

Um, doesn't that seem like overkill? I mean I know there's nothing to do down there, but COME ON. There's only 125 people on-base. By some very rough calculations, that's 1.4 condoms per scientist per day for the entire winter. If we assume they're coupling (shudder if they're not) that's like 3 per day, every day, for three months straight. Now that's some healthy libido. Shit, maybe we should all move as far south as possible.
