Interesting piece of history...

In 1872 the Arabs invented the condom using a goat's lower intestine. In 1873 the British somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

...and in 1874 the French started mailing these home back from Lebanon, accidentally inventing the French Letter. (plus they marinated the goat in wine, bay leaves, and anchovies, and served it with haricot vert and pomme de terre sardelaise)
"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct from natural variation."
