4. Find the breaker box and flip them off! I'd try it, but there'd

be a mysterious 'headache' out of nowhere. :D

5. Actually, that's something of a myth

at least according to a researcher I talked to once. He said there's no empirical evidence that there was a baby boom after the 1965 blackout.

6. Without light? No problem. We will give light.

What pretty paradox. To give birth in Spanish is said "to give light".
Parir = Dar a luz.

9. Was thinking the same thing earlier

I remember the 60's blackout and the boom then, but that was fall. It may be too hot to make whoopy with no air conditioner! LOL

10. Maybe not. It's hot in those apartments.

If you can get enough water, there is always the tub.
