So, how many storks does the list reckon will be visiting Brazil 9 months from now? Background: They had an epic power failure this week that affected 1/5th of the nation, and lasted 5 hours. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8355294.stm I wonder if there's been any research into availability of entertainment options and the birth rate. I've been hearing government officials in Tamil Nadu trot out the theory that the current government's political stunt of handing out televisions for votes was not a political stunt at all - rather it has controlled the number of drunks in poor neighborhoods, reduced the crime rate, and restored family peace. Perhaps they should also consider adding population control to that list. Cheeni Cheeni
