jonathan7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Holy cow. 2 condoms a day for 4 months? _EW_ Haha, that's awesome! Then again in such a climate yo have to find ways to keep yourself warm
Darth333 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I am so sending this article to some colleagues who used to complain about the lack of "entertainment" in the Arctic and the overly short days during winter.
Lord Foley Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Well, I guess they can't really go outside and play.
Arcesious Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Sounds like even the uber-nerdy scientists have a little fun from time to time...
mur'phon Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 No sun time is awesome, it's not really surprising that scientist apreciate its advantages. On the flip side they'll have to suffer the insomnia, err, midnight sun too.
jonathan7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Sounds like even the uber-nerdy scientists have a little fun from time to time... You do realise just because someone is a scientist, doesn't mean they aren't able to have fun or be cool; some of my best friends are very clever, very cool and extremely hot - and they have extremely geeky jobs!
Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Well, I bet there's no TV there - I mean, two condoms a day? Granted, that's not much, but daily, for four months? And that assuming that every scientist has a partner(s). I guess I have to review my thoughts on scientists.

And that assuming that every scientist is has a partner(s) I guess I have to review my thoughts on scientists. I have this theory that nympho's are always the quiet ones...
Totenkopf Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Funny thing is....being scientists, they might not be using them for sex. Anyone know what the gender breakdown is at these stations? Oh, and that line about sending them 16500 to spare them the agony of questions about theit personal situations.....too funny. Seems like everyone knows now.
EnderWiggin Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Well, I bet there's no TV there - I mean, two condoms a day? Granted, that's not much, but daily, for four months? And that assuming that every scientist has a partner(s). I guess I have to review my thoughts on scientists. That's not much? When was the last time you used 2 condoms a day for four months? It's two each! _EW_
jonathan7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 That's not much? When was the last time you used 2 condoms a day for four months? It's two each! _EW_ Why buy balloons when you can get free ones?
Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 That's not much? When was the last time you used 2 condoms a day for four months? It's not much? It's a lot! I meant that two condoms a day isn't, but to keep it every single day during four months is.
Jae Onasi Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Oh, and that line about sending them 16500 to spare them the agony of questions about theit personal situations.....too funny. Seems like everyone knows now. I guarantee you that with only 125 people confined in a fairly small facility for 4 months of winter, everyone is going to know everyone else's business. It's kind of hard to keep that sort of thing quiet....
Totenkopf Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I guarantee you that with only 125 people confined in a fairly small facility for 4 months of winter, everyone is going to know everyone else's business. It's kind of hard to keep that sort of thing quiet.... Yeah, I'd agree THAT would be a given. I took the point about private business, so to speak, to be in the context of the general public and not each other.
Rev7 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Yeah, that would be embarrassing for them. I mean, if LF knows, everyone knows.
Mace MacLeod Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Well, what the hell else is there to do on the South Pole for winter...?
Jae Onasi Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Well, what the hell else is there to do on the South Pole for winter...? Play Kotor and Guild Wars.

Hmz...although Guild Wars is nice, I think the activity promoted by Shem's article would rank a bit higher amongst those scientists (imo). Anyways, will we get sponsored this way as well if we go and do some research on flamingo's in some tropical paradise? Because I'd definately sign up for that...

Hallucination Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Am I the only one who thinks that the condoms are a gag gift and the facility is populated by only sweaty men with hairy bums?
