Right, everybody knows that it's not natural (moon) light that 
influences reproductive behavior, it's artificial light -- TV.

When TV is turned off by a power failure, lots of people that usually 
never have sex start making love, and lots of people that usually use 
contraception lose their minds and forget about it.

9 months later more babies are born, unless that's also a myth.
