I have no idea but that statistic is a lie.
"Estimated pregnancy rates during perfect use of condoms, that is for those who report using the method exactly as it should be used (correctly) and at every act of intercourse (consistently), is 3 percent at 12 months.
The most frequently cited condom effectiveness rate is for typical use, which includes perfect and imperfect use (i.e. not used at every act of intercourse, or used incorrectly). The pregnancy rate during typical use can be much higher (10-14%) than for perfect use, but this is due primarily to inconsistent and incorrect use, not to condom failure. Condom failure – the device breaking or slipping off completely during intercourse – is uncommon." Taken directly from the WHO website. This means that condoms are 97% effective with perfect used and even with typical use they are still 84%-90%. It really bothers me when people throw out false statistics about condoms because it leads to things like people (mostly teens) to feel that they are not worth using and ten they end up pregnant or with a bunch of STDs

I am listening to Combichrist's "Happy Fucking Birthday", and that's what was on when I came across the birthday announcements on the last page.
Coincidences, doncha love em?
And Duane, what went wrong?

I'll stick with my vest, but thanks for the suggestion Honeythorn. Tomorrow is going to be great, I'm setting up my "Help Save The Rainforest" booth at my school, I've already been called a hippy twice and it hasn't even started yet, people, it's a little thing called PEACE PUNK aka ANARCHO PUNK! Idiots at my school. *facepalms*

Yes but these " idiots " can't be expected to know until they are politely informed of it.

But you cannot get it through they're thick skull, even when I do it politely.
On another note, this summer me and some friends are going to prank one of enemie's houses, gas on the lawn (kills the grass!) rubber bands on the driveway, fork the lawn and as we leave, egg and paintball the house!!

I'm absolutely fine, everyone. Thank you for showing concern, but the date hasn't happened yet. I was just releasing some of my "stress" on this fine thread. I'm just SO nervous, I mean a guy like me don't usually go on a date with such a beautiful, intelligant woman such as the one I'm going on a date with soon.

That is adorable, I love when a guy is so excited about a date that he gets all nervous, makes me feel so special. I hope that the date goes well

I've just got home after working as a sound engineer/camera man/handy man/whatever at a big event. After we've edited the several hours of filming we did on it, they're going to air it on TV. Pretty neat.
