Denver purportedly in midst of blizzard-induced baby boom

Denver area hospitals are reporting a baby boom roughly nine months after two winter storms buried the state capitol for days. The extended closure of roads, schools and businesses coupled with the inhospitable outdoor weather apparently lead to more people fucking each other than is usual for that time of the year. The increased occurrences of intercourse nine months ago in turn lead to increased occurrences of conception and ultimately a higher than normal number of births for early autumn.

Resident Sylvia Magery told the Denver Sun Post that she has a newborn because she stayed inside with her husband during the storms. “It was cold and we took a bath together and one thing just led to another,” she told the newspaper implying she and her husband fucked each other, “and now we have a new bundle of joy.”

The new families are being given T-shirts proudly proclaiming the little ones “Blizzard Babies” though the hospital staff could not decide on a similarly descriptive alliterative title for their parents, being split between the less-than-appealing choices of “Frozen Fornicators,” “Whiteout Whoopie-Makers,” and “Snowstorm Sex-Havers.”

It is too early to tell whether the actual birth statistics will support the blizzard baby boom contention. University of North Carolina researcher Angie Hearstfeld, who has discounted previous boom claims, is skeptical. “When the media dust has settled and you go back over the numbers it's usually not significant,” said Dr. Hearstfeld. “Whether its a blizzard or a big city blackout people generally seem to fuck at the same rate as on non-anomalous days.”
