( The world is ending and I’m coming for JJ Abrams right now, or here be Alias spoilers and, uh, CSI spoilers, which is odd considering I don’t watch the show anymore )2. It started with
this article in the Scotsman, which pointed out that there were 250,000 condoms provided for the athletes at the 2000 Winter
Bacchanalia Olympics. It then degenerated into this exchange between myself and
serialkarma.
SK: it's "socially vigorous" *dies*
HT: dude, 250,000 condoms in salt lake city. what does one *do* with a quarter of a million condoms? seriously? if you got laid every day for 70 years, you'd use only 25,550 of'em. if you got laid three times a day, you'd still only use about 75,000. and you'd not have time for anything, else, like ever. *goggles again*
SK: you did the math? *cracks up*
HT: i am at work. i have calculators. i am an inveterate slacker. i work hard not to do any work at all. ;)
HT: my mind just can't wrap around this... so i cracked open the calculator again, and if you had sex with three different people a day during the olympics, not only would you not [have] any time to compete, but if you alot 3 condoms per act of sex, for each 3 people, you'd still only use 126 condoms. even if you came early, you'd barely use 150! I'm so fascinated by this, seriously. There were 7,000 athletes at the olympics, that's 35 condoms per athlete! that's for two weeks! *gapes openly*
SK: don't forget, they make great water balloons
HT: AH. That's where they go.
