11 things you probably didn’t know about condoms

1. Guns

In World War 2, American soldiers used to use condoms in protecting rifle barrels from clogging.

2. Water

In the Middle East, peasants used condoms to carry water and stretch them between layers of concrete to make the roof watertight

3. Fashion

Brazilian artist Adriana Bertini made a dress, totally out of condoms.

4. Art

In 2003, the Guilin Latex Company made the worlds largest condom. The condom was 260 feet – 80 meters- tall and 330 feet – 100 meters – around. It was put on a hotel in Guilin, China to help and promote World Population Day.In 2005 , the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, Argentina was covered with a large condom. It was 67meters long and created to promote World AIDS Day.

5. Stats

India has long been the most populated country on the planet. It turns out that condoms have a huge fail rate because, Indian men aren’t huge enough to fill one out. They slip off all the time, but overpopulation is a small price to pay to live in a country where women arn’t aware of massive d*cks.

6. Olympians

At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, there was so much bangin’ going on that the 7,000 athletes burned through all 100,000 free condoms too quickly. That’s 14 condoms per athlete. They actually had to send in an emergency shipment to quell the onset of a giant legion of genetically souped up muscle-monster spawn.

7. Marketing

Magnum condoms aren’t that much bigger than standard ones… it’s actually a huge marketing scheme. Now all guys have an opportunity to trick the ladies into believing their guy has a penis that would make Jon Hamm cry.

8. Scumbags

In the late sixties, the word scumbag actually meant condom. So now you can go around calling people scumbags and diabolically laughing to yourself in a lonely basement, knowing that you just called someone a used condom.

9. Harvard

Some Harvard students actually started a condom delivery service. It would need a slogan. Something catchy and something worthy of the mental champions who walk the halls of this legendary educational institute. They finally decided on the slogan “We’ll Come Before You Do!” Staggeringly brilliant.

10. Hieroglyphics

Although their precise purpose is unclear, condoms are depicted on male hieroglyphics figures dating back to ancient Egypt. Protective sheaths used in the early 1500s were made from ill-fitting animal bladders or intestines, although some of the more imaginative designs were made of metal.

11. Broadway

The cast of ‘Cats’, the musical on Broadway, used to sweat so much during their performances that the microphones were covered in….that’s right, condoms.
