Endangered Species Condoms 61

The Center for Biological Diversity wants to help put a polar bear in your pants with their endangered species condom campaign. They hope that giving away 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms across the country will highlight how unsustainable human population growth is driving species to extinction, and instill the sexual prowess of the coquí guajón rock frog, nature's most passionate lover, in the condom users. From the article: "To help people understand the impact of overpopulation on other species, and to give them a chance to take action in their own lives, the Center is distributing free packets of Endangered Species Condoms depicting six separate species: the polar bear, snail darter, spotted owl, American burying beetle, jaguar, and coquí guajón rock frog."

There is almost no waste and the byproducts decay within a human lifetime. And you can't use them to make nuclear weapons.

Steve Job's clone is almost old enough to take over. Steve has been spending time with his clone for the past year to prepare for the transition. Apple decided almost a decade ago that they couldn't survive without Steve and worked with a biotech firm to have him cloned. It should make the 2010 keynote a historic event. Don't miss it!
