NWFlyer 2 #1 June 10, 2008 http://jezebel.com/5014708/oh-those-antarctic-summer-nights QuoteIt can be a tough life as a scientist living on Antarctica. It never really gets warm, there's not a ton of people around and for about 3 months a year, you're physically cut off from outside contact. I guess that's why just before their winter (our summer) set in and supply shipments stopped, McMurdo Station got a shipment of 16,500 condoms which will be distributed free to the staff. Of course, until September, there are only 125 (mostly male, we called ) scientists there, and then only 1,000 people in and out throughout the rest of the year. But what else are you going to do to pass the time? Plus, doesn't your heart just sing that in some very small way, our government is probably subsidizing some butt secks? That is a pretty high condom/person rate. I bet they've got more drama down there than your average dropzone."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Well, when you actually do the math I guess that's not as bad. Probably you could find someone that wasn't using all of theirs and get some more from them if you run out.
