I read today that the Central Russian region of Ulyanovsk declares tomorrow, Sept. 12 a Day of Conception. What a novel idea. And everyone gets the day off from work to do it.
ULYANOVSK, Russia (AP) -- Make a baby. Win a car.
Irina and Andrei Kartuzov drive away in a new SUV, after winning last year's baby contest.
Don't be surprised if the streets are empty and curtains drawn in this central Russian region Wednesday as residents take up an offer by the regional governor to help stem Russia's demographic crisis.
Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergei Morozov has decreed Sept. 12 a Day of Conception and is giving couples time off from work to procreate. Couples who give birth nine months later on Russia's national day -- June 12 -- will receive money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes....
Apparently, in an effort to boost the lagging population of Russia, the town is taking matters into its own hands (or something). Hmm, ever see 'The Boys from Brazil'? (Remove Nazis, add Russkies?)
