So my wife and I took part in Earth Hour on Saturday night...and well, I'll spare you the details but we did about the only thing we could think of doing with all the electricity in the house off

We got to talking the next day and wondered if we'd see a mini Eco Baby Boom in about 9 months...hahaha

[horselover]

It's a possibility, you never know.

[EviesEarth]

LOL! Well, we have 3 little ones. So we spent it playing games and telling stories. But, before we had little ones, we would of spent it the same way.
Isn't it in Russia where they have a "sex" day, can't remember the actual name. It is a way to boost population.

I've read about Russia too, they tell them to stay home from work and make babies. They get some sort of prize if they have a baby nine months later.

[tater03]

Never thought about that but I could see how this would happen. I know that is what we tend to do when we lose power.

[stav]

Heheh.. What a great idea, lets save the earth by increasing the population dramatically nine months from now!

[rubybeetle]

Lol, wouldn't that be an ironic side effect of Earth Hour.

Imagine all the Earth Baby names.

This was way back when, in the 60's perhaps, when the 1st New York power outage took place. It was documented that a mini baby boom occurred in NYC nine months after the outage!
