		Antarctica base gets 16,500 condoms before darkness
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - 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 on Monday.
Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month and would be made available, free of charge, to staff throughout the year to avoid the potential embarrassment of having to buy them.
The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.
"Since everybody knows everyone, it becomes a little bit uncomfortable," Henriksen told the Southland Times newspaper.
About 125 scientists and staff are stationed at McMurdo base, the largest community in Antarctica, during the winter months when there is constant darkness.
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.

		I guess they don't want the same problems they had with nooners and afternoon delights during the long days.

		Let's run the numbers. 16,500 condoms divided by 125 scientists is 132 condoms per scientist. You ony need 1 condom per couple of scientists, so that's actually 264 per couple. It's only dark for about 6 months, so that is 365/2 = 183 days. So 264 hookups per 183 days = 1.44 hookups per scientist couple per day EVERY DAY for the whole 6 months. Way to go horny scientists! Gotta keep warm somehow! I hope they sent a tanker of lube along with all those condoms! 
The untold story in all this is that only 12 of those scientists are women, so the ladies are not getting much research done this winter... Boom chicka wow wow! Girls Gone Wild: Antarctica!

 About this ^^ If they use these condoms properly, the population should not rise that much...

		Well you do know that about 40% of those condoms given are going to fly off across the room at some point.

 Well, that's one way to pass the time, but not quite as good as the original. 
"Hey, check out this balloon animal I made!"
"Great, Bob. Another long-nosed rib-snake. Very creative."

		Mmm, 16,000 pieces of level IV ppe for laboratory-clean nerd sex. I wonder if they have to enter it in the logbook.
At least they didn't have to send 16,000 of these...
