Well, it's that time of year again! That's right folks, it's the National Day of Conception in Ulyanovsk, Russia. Time to celebrate! Take the day off work, get grandma to watch the kids (that you may or may not already have) and get crackin! Or, get married the weekend before for a chance to win a fridge. I know I would have married Colin A LOT sooner if there was a new fridge on the line.

Wait folks, there's more!

If you're baby is one of the ones born on June 12th (do the math...it's nine months from today) then you are in the running for .....(drum roll please)....a NEW CAR! Ok, this begs the question of induction or elective c-section. Are you disqualified? Does your body have to go into labor on it's own?

My favorite part is that Russia is giving people that have their second or third child a $10,000 check.
"Hello, President Bush? Yes, this is Emily. Vladimir Putin has an idea he's like to share with you."

Of course I say that but let's be honest...in America there are people I'd like to pay $10,000 NOT to have a second or third child.

Wow! I had no idea the benefits of baby-making! I'm shooting for the car, and I may move to Russia for a while and aim for the $10,000. Do you think they give that for twins or triplets?
