Pop quiz, everyone! I know, I know. It’s Thursday, who would’ve thought there’d be a quiz on a Thursday?! But hey – this is BCU, and you need to be prepared. Have you been reading the material? Making flash cards? Practicing your vocabulary? It’s cunni-LING-us, not CUNN-inglingus.

Well, here we go:

What is in the photo above?

A) A shedded skin fossil from an early Cretaceous period snake-like creature
B) An artifact from the ancient Aztec game of ullamalitzli
C) A steamboat captain’s reusable sheep intestine condom
D) The mummified sex toy of a Egyptian princess

ALRIGHT, PENCILS DOWN. PASS YOUR ANSWERS TO THE FRONT.

Did you guess D? You were… WRONG. It’s C. From OhioHistory.org:

The condom above, discovered in an account book, presumably belonged to the Muskingum River steamboat captain, Monroe Ayers. This particular condom was made around 1860 from either sheep skin or sheep intestine, but rubber condoms were also commercially available at the time. Why did Ayers save it? Many condoms at the time were designed to be reused.
Should you want to see the condom in person, it’s part of an exhibit at Ohio Historical Society entitled “Controversy,” consisting unsurprisingly of a selection of controversial items from U.S. history.

Keep that in mind guys, it WILL be on the final.
