    you sure it wasn't sheep intestines?

    "An Egyptian drawing of a condom being worn has been found to be 3,000 years old. It is unknown, however, if the Egyptian pictured wearing the device intended to use it for contraception, or for ritual purposes...The oldest condoms found (rather than just pictures or descriptions) are from 1640, discovered in Dudley Castle in England. They were made of animal intestine, and it is believed they were used for STD prevention"

    And actually the same page had the following factoid:
    When snakes are born with two heads, they fight each other for food.
    I'm not sure if I believe that, but it sounds awesome.
