No, I’m not skipping work to have sex, but apparently some people are encouraged to skip work, stay home and hump their hearts out. LOL.
According to Russia, Reuters, the governor of a central Russian province urged their couples to skip work on Wednesdays and make love instead. This is to help boost the low birth rate of the region.
Nice eh? LOL
But there’s more! (bwahahaha), If the woman give birth on exactly June 12, Russian’s National day, she will qualify for a prize… even a new home! if she’s not “lucky” enough to win the house, a television set or something for the home would be given to her. (Who wants to move to Russia now?! hahaha)
With a decline of just about 700,000 in population, the Russians are in dire need of “more people”. 
Russia wants to reverse a trend in which the population is shrinking by about 700,000 people a year as births fail to outpace a high death rate boosted by AIDS, alcoholism and suicide.
This is the third year Ulyanovsk region, famous as the birthplace of Soviet state founder Vladimir Lenin, has dedicated a day to encouraging couples to produce more babies.
Prizes will extend equally to unwed women who produce children on the right day, though the biggest prizes will go to married couples.
On Russia Day this year, a family won a jeep after their fourth baby was born on the holiday.
It may seem funny, but it’s true. A special baby making holiday
I have quite a few friends who are pregnant right now, or whose wife or girlfriend is on the way. Congratulations to all of you! All the best in your soon bundle of joy. (special shout out to : ate claire and aldiones). Sorry guys, all i could give you is my heartfelt congratulations, no special prize included.LOL.
