The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded a ‘condom condom’ ringtone designed to introduce the youth of India to the humble condom. Statistics for HIV in India put the disease at almost 2.5 million, but to speak of AIDS is taboo. Not surprisingly, the use of any penis covering device is also taboo.The ‘condom, condom!’ ringtone, which can be downloaded for free, features a 55 second, rousing, musical rendition of the word condom sung a capella by enthusiastic men in five part harmony.

After consulting a gazillion sources, I found out that any answers to hummingbird migration are ‘iffy’ and really depend on who you want to believe. One thing for sure, hummers can be spotted in one of three Winter homes.
