    I heard that scientists behind "The Iron Curtain" not only developed male pill years ago - they made abetter one.

    They made a "morning after" pill for men.

    It was 100% effective.

    No patient who tried it ever got pregnant.

    I dont think there is a real need for this anyway.

    The FDA already approved EverQuest for Birth Control Use didnt they?

    It actually works for abstinence too

    Studies showed 100% of people playing everquest had no problems with impregnating women or being impregnated.
    However, 100% of people playing everquest were also found to not leave their house, so that makes it hard.

    Everquest Approved

    Contraceptive pills are not effective. In fact, only two contraceptives are 100% effective: abstinence and reading Slashdot.

    Please, people, be responsible.

  12. male pill by !splut · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the official FAQ:

    Q: How was the male contraceptive pill created?
    A: As with most revolutionary discoveries, entirely by accident! A patient involved in a double blind clinical trial for an entirely different product somehow managed to cram a placebo pill into his urethra.

    Q: How does it work?
    A: The pill, or, more accurately, "penile plunger," as it has been technically termed, temporarily obstructs the outlet of the urethra. As a result, the patient is rendered infertile for a full 6 hours, after which time the pill dissolves and dislodges harmlessy.

    Q: Are there any side effects that I should know about?
    A: Being a purely mechanical devide, the male contraceptive pill has very few side effects to worry about. Acute pain and a kidney-stone-like sensation are common. Additionally, patients are advised not to drink prior to or during use of the male pill, due to a slight risk of bladder explosion.
