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 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.

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

Al they can do is to watch videos all day long.

i would imagine, being scientists, that they don't necessarily have the stamina of ... oh, let's say ... er ... an IT junky?! and therefore 264 might actually well equate to more than a year's supply ...

Hence the March of The Penguins. The movie makes sense now. How could I have been so blind?
