Blackout bonanza: Well, it looks like Shmuley Boteach is going to have his wish come true. In last week's issue of Jewsweek, the sexpert pontificated on the need for the Jewish couples to procreate more. His wish is their command. As a reult of the blackouts that blanketed the Northeast and parts of Canada, Toronto's mayor predicts we'll see a baby boom in about nine months. As Reuters points out: "It is widely believed that the birth rate rises after times of crisis, but many experts dismiss this phenomena as urban myth." Mayor Mel Lastman is known for making outlandish comments. According to reports, "the millionaire mayor and former furniture and appliance salesman once threatened to kill a reporter, implored the Spice Girls to stay together and called in the army to help dig the city out of a snowstorm -- much to the outrage of the rest of snowbound Canada." In any event, we hope Shmuley is happy.
