Sounds like a great idea. Thanks to Todd Mason for the link.
The Denver Post - Russians get day off to procreate, then win prizes: "Moscow - A Russian region of Ulyanovsk has found a novel way to fight the nation's birth-rate crisis: It has declared Sept. 12 the Day of Conception and for the third year running is giving couples time off from work to procreate.
The hope is for a brood of babies exactly nine months later on Russia's national day. Couples who 'give birth to a patriot' during the June 12 festivities win money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes."

If there's a population shortage in Russia it's probably because there are so many of them in Tacoma.
I didn't know that!
