Well, it got violated on one of my very rarely updated ones, but in a very fun way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch/sqzm14.ust.hk Note the first link from "Talk:Hiking equipment" to my copy of a 1995 document rating the quality of condoms. The original page has extensive discussion of the possible use of a condom as an emergency water container for hiking, and reference the 1995 document due to its reference to a condom being bale to hold 3 liters of water. I had a lot of fun reading through their discussion. :) -Spode -- Edward F Spodick, IT and Services Infrastructure Manager Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Library [email protected] tel:852-2358-6743 fax:852-2358-1043
