My school has one of the highest pregnancy and STD rates on the island. I think last year we were #1. Ironically enough, we're the Trojans...

There was a team called the Trojans near my (first) highschool. We played them homecoming of my freshman year and the senior class had (without the faculty's knowledge) taped up "Pop the Trojans!" signs with condoms hanging off them. Just...hilarious, isn't it?
Anyway, we had about 4, I think, when I was a senior. Pregnancies, that is, not Trojans. Of course we only had about 200 students. (Total. My graduating class had 27.)
I remember hearing about the Ouija board thing. Or at least I vaguely recall something about a jury trying to hold a seance to contact the victim and being dismissed. That stuff's been borrowed by New Ageism from the Spiritualism of the 20's and onward, so it's been around awhile. Maybe people feel it's more credible since it's a bit 'established.'

Eh, we get that all the time. Trojan horse refrences and condoms galore at football games.
I got a condom lei at graduation so I'm set

Only 27 in your graduating class? Mine will have 270ish.
Someone once put condoms on the school's footballs one year. Senior prank I guess. I think my uncle's class's prank was better. They hoisted a '76 Impala up on to the roof of the school, on the second story. The principal even thought that one was funny.

Shikaru: was it stapled together? My school gave out condoms for Condom Awareness Day or some such one time, and half the info sheets were stapled to them.
I've been assured that the student worker responsible was severly disciplined.
(Then again, I mentioned Gordon Brown to said student worker and she said "Oh, that cooking guy? He doesn't sound English...")

My high school class of ~180 only had one pregnancy, and we generally didn't count that one because she left school beforehand.
I find it interesting, though, that in my 5 years in college, I knew of only one girl (out of ~5000) to get pregnant while in school, and I'm pretty sure she was married. Even though I didn't know them all personally, a pregnant belly would be pretty obvious.

Well to be fair those of us living here are only peripherally aware of the bugger. Mostly as "that bloke wot's getting kicked out in the next election" or "wot's he wafflin' about now?".

Really? I've been asking for lower gas prices. I'll probably have better chances of getting superpowers and robots though...
