"Woohoo! The cargo plane full of condoms is here!"

Apparently, researchers on Antarctica have protected sex about every 3 days.

Well, the article didn't exactly say that, but it did say that 16,500 condoms were delivered as a year's supply for the 125 scientists.

Oh yes, I did the math:

16,500 condoms / 125 people = 132 condoms per person
365 days a year / 132 condoms = 2.76 days per condom


The condoms are available at no charge. That's a nice yearly savings, but I don't know if that is enough compensation for having to spend an entire freezing winter in constant darkness being stuck with the same group of people.

Actually, since both partners would be from the group of 125 people, it could be more often since they'd each have 132 condoms for the year. With 264 condoms per year, we're looking at almost every day. After all, there is a lack of outdoor activities and sunlight. They have to find someone something to do!

Few people will have the opportunity to have sex in Antarctica, and even fewer will have a chance to have sex in outer space. NASA definitely doesn't kiss-and-tell; they won't say whether this has or has not happened.

There's been speculation for decades about astronauts having sex while on missions. Thanks to Space Weddings, it could be a confirmed occurrence as soon as 2011. For $2.3 million, couples can get married in outer space. If it's your wedding night, it's part of your honeymoon, and you're spending that kind of money, I think there is a good chance a couple would go for it.

You have about 3 years to wait for a sex in outer space update...unless an astronaut sex tape gets leaked.

Top 10 Romance Novel Titles

|

It’s generally agreed upon that romance novels are a little trashy. For most of us, they conjure up images of bon-bon eating spinsters, Fabio, and mobile homes filled to the brim with cats and cigarette smoke. Or maybe that’s just me.

All the same, even those of us who don’t enjoy curling up with the latest Silhouette bodice-ripper can appreciate their cheesy, often comical titles. Below, we offer a few of the best.

10. The Viscount in Her Bedroom - This is the story of Simon, the strikingly handsome but blind viscount who falls in love with Louisa because she smells good and lets him do things that blind men don’t always get to do. An instant classic. And in case you were wondering, a viscount is a member of British nobility who ranks above a baron but below an earl.

9. Undead & Unwed - This one is a little too convoluted for a quick summary. A former model/unemployed secretary dies and somehow becomes a vampire who isn’t subject to the usual vampire limitations. Somewhere along the way, she’s abducted by a tacky 500-year-old vampire and teams up with a hot but perverted “good” vampire/love interest.
