RUSSIANS READY FOR CONCEPTION HOLIDAY:
The city of Lenin's birth is preparing to celebrate the first annual "Day of Conception," as residents have termed the new government-sponsored holiday created to help relieve Russia's demographic crisis. By order of the governor, all residents of Ulyanovsk will stay home from work on Wednesday and concentrate on increasing the nation's population. Any mother that gives birth nine months later on June 12 will be awarded a new car: a UAZ Patriot in honor of Patriots' Day.
