I wrote an essay on condoms
And started it with the fact that one of the earliest forms of contraception was developed in Egypt - a diaphragm made of crocodile dung.

Love how they had to specify "scientifically talk about contraception". I was considering one of the arguments against condoms as "Some people don't like the feel" but thought that was going too far.

Also did the essay on "Man is a religious animal". Could imagine it going on here. But gave up and went to sleep.

Pointless waste of time? General Studies.
Words you should get in? It's going to be about terrorism, innit? Talk about the sales of "Osama Pin Laden", brought out in the aftermath of 9/11, using terrorism as a marketing technique (trufax, this voodoo doll type affair was produced by the company owned by Whatsit Whatsit who clonked his girlfriend Kinga Legg [I remember THAT name] in a hotel room [506 I think] in Hotel Bristol in Paris. No, I don't have the news story up in a tab.)

Crocodile Dung?
Haha, fair enough.

I always thought the earliest ones were sewn leather in the 1300's?

But your counter argument would have been true, bareback is always better!

Actually
it's pig intestine, being the first recorded condomtypethingy.

And coitus interruptus (got that in!) has been around since biblical times (c.f. Onan)

And I DON'T need to know about your sexlife HERE, thanks. That's what the main QOTW is for!

Bollocks.
I wish I'd known this before I did todays, one of the essays was about how and why companies use celebrities to advertise their products.

I quite happily wittered on about Will Smith for ages.

Oh, and
As I was walking out, I heard a girl say to her friend: 'So which question did you choose?' And her friend replied 'Er, you were supposed to do both...' The look on the first girl's face was priceless.

No no no no no no no no no nooooo!
I get the fear about doing that.

At least it was only general studies.
