Had it been here or in Mexico or something, I would have spouted off about how I hate filthy humans.  Somehow it seems acceptable over there.

Cause they are white.

Note to self: move to wintery location and rig the power system.

"What? The power is out AGAIN? What are the odds?"

[Pugnate]

hahaha

[Quemaqua]

Not cuz they're white, but because they have an unprecedented lack of babies.  If you've got a baby deficit and you make more, that's okay with me.  I just hate it when you've got 20 you already neglect and don't want to take care of, and somehow think it would be a good idea to have 20 more.

I know, I was kidding of course.































racist.

Hahaha!

There was a famous outage in NYC that supposedly led to a mini baby boom, sometime in the 60s.

I remember Germany was having real problems with underpopulation a few years back (like two years ago, not post world war era ). This could have been their solution.

[idolminds]

Its surprising we can have an underpopulation problem when the solution is what it is.

I do remember a professor I had talking about this.  I obviously wasn't really paying attention so I can't remember the context but I do remember him saying that the largest factor on pregnancy rates in developed countries was power outages.  He also said the big east coast ice storm a few years ago caused a mini boom.

A similar pattern happens here in the Middle-East. When the power goes out, there's no TV, no internet, air conditioning is dead, people sweat, they shed some layers.. Chikapow! The inevitable is a result of heat and boredom.

I wonder how often it happens when trapped in an elevator.

How often does power go out in Dubai?

[Ghandi]

This explains why I was sitting in the corner crying during the last power outage.

[Pugnate]

Your right hand rejected you?

[Ghandi]

You're a bastard.

And yes, my left hand is more beautiful. DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON?!

It's not supposed to be common but surprisngly we experience an outtage every few of months. That hard one was about 2 months ago when the power went out for two days, increasing outdoor activity and in some instances various indoor activities
