[ExI] Russian Governor Sponsors Conception Day

[PJ Manney]

You know me, always a sucker for a laugh.  This from The Guardian via
The Grist List:

"From Russia with Lust
Hot and bothered about its dwindling population, a Russian region
recently gave women a half-day off work for patriotic sex; liaisons
ending in perfectly timed babies may be rewarded with a brand new SUV.
We'd make some privileged snark about overpopulation and emissions,
but time off for getting laid? We're sold."

Wait a minute...  Russia needs more kids.  China needs less.  I've got
an idea for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization: Why don't they send
some of those extra Chinese guys over to Russia?  Not only does it
make economic sense, but they might have better luck finding a wife
there, with government-sanctioned time off for sex.  Sounds win-win to
me!  ;-)
