Cable T.V. is boring, the sky is dark and it’s snowing.  What can you do to entertain yourself? One answer:

When Nancy Bonnell, 31, thinks of her baby girl due next month, she recalls the December snow that she and her husband, Brian, endured: “We lived in the apartment and had nothing to do.”
So they cooked in their Derwood home, they grew restless and then they — well, you know.
The couple had been trying to have a baby and originally thought it might happen during a post-Christmas vacation to the Cook Islands in the South Pacific. They could nickname her “Cookie Girl,” they thought.
Then Bonnell learned during the second week of January that she was expecting. She deduced that she had conceived sometime during the snowstorm. Time for a new nickname.
“It was more like ‘Snow Angel,’ ” she said.
But:
Yet that theory was quashed in a 1970 paper by Richard Udry, a demographer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He found no statistically significant upswing in births associated with the blackout. “It is evidently pleasing to many people,” he concluded, “to fantasize that when people are trapped by some immobilizing event which deprives them of their usual activities, most will turn to copulation.”
Someone should go back and look at the data and see if it was analyzed correctly.  Surely a Q.J.E. if you can show convincingly that snow leads to nookie.
