I've got to come up with some non-political/non-religious topics so I thought this might serve as a substitute (whilst naturally still providing a hidden subversive meaning for him who has ears to hear ;) ).

This is the age of believing unbelievable things which have been proved wrong conclusively (and even outright lies) so I bow to the inevitable and join the ranks of the 'believers' - obviously I can't do this is a politico-religious way as I am trying to kick the habit but I am prepared to do my duty and pay at least some lip-service to consensus reality.

It seems that an Australian Oceanographic Survey has discovered a reef made up of millions of disposed condoms in the mid Pacific.

The condom mass is two miles long, up to sixty feet deep, and in places so tightly compressed that a small plane could be landed on it.

The mass was discovered by the Australian Oceanographic Laboratory Outpost on Macquarie Island in the South Pacific. Scientists there explained that the accumulation, which consists almost exclusively of condoms, is explained by a principle of physics called “like aggregation.” Like aggregation is caused by the massing of similar objects due to ocean currents and winds, the response of the objects to the earth’s magnetic field, and other factors.

This can't be good can it ?

Maybe there's a yet-to-be-released epsiode of Survivor or Fear Factor that explains this?:wow:

I was about to reply that this sounds like something we made up to fool gullible foreigners, and then I saw e#'s post.

I wear two giant condoms in my everyday life. When I have sex, I take one off and feel like a wild man.

Won't everyone join me in vigorous prayer that any such episodes remain unreleased?
