Sex on the Ice

Horny scientists:

One of the last shipments to a U.S. research base in Antarctica before the onset of winter darkness was a year's supply of condoms, a New Zealand newspaper reported Monday.

About 125 scientists and staff are stationed at McMurdo base, the largest community in Antarctica, during the winter months when there is constant darkness.

Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month...

That's 132 condoms per person. Busy little devils, aren't they?

The first sunrise will occur on August 20 and McMurdo's population will start to increase again in September when supply flights resume, peaking at more than 1,000 during the summer period.

The population might start increasing again in March if those condoms were provided by the lowest bidder.
