Antarctic base gets condom haul before winter
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – 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.
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.
16,000 condoms. 125 people. Let’s say at least 63 are male. That’s roughly 254 per. This supply wold last about 8 months, assuming a once a day “diet”. Don’t they have work to do? When would they have time with …..uh….well….uh…..all that boinkin’ going on?
