Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

How come people in movies and TV shows always hail cabs by putting up their hand and shouting, "Taxi!" Does the shouting actually do anything? I can't imagine that the cab driver could hear someone shouting over all the other street noises. And I don't think I've ever heard anyone shout "Taxi!" like that in real life.

Well, there are 125 people stationed there during the Antarctic winter. The next supply flight will be in late August. So if we assume one condom for each sex act between two people, then each person can on average have sex three times a day.
