For those of you into more serious news, you may not have heard about the Gloucester pregnancy pact rumours. Gloucester is some small town in Massachusetts, USA (not the sizeable town in the UK) where the local high school has just recorded 17 teen pregnancies, far more than the usual three or four.
There are rumours that the teen mums-to-be made a 'pact' to get preggers at the same time and look after the kids as in some kind of commune situation but these are quite unsubstantiated.
Anyway, a report about the pregnancy spike caught my eye in the Saturday paper. Originally from Associated Press, the last paragraph reads:
Karlee's father, Michael Mitchell, 17, thinks he knows why the spike happened. "They were horny, it was a cold winter. It's boring around this town."
Mystery solved.
