The German World Cup Baby Boom.: Last summer's mix of sun, beer and excitement during the football World Cup appears to have produced a massive hormone rush in German bedrooms, gardens and back alleys.

Those fucking Germans! Quite literally. I seem to recall a survey that circulated some years ago where more German men said they'd rather give up sex than watching football. Of course, that may have been the British - and if that's the case then really, folks, can you blame them? Zing!

...reckons that Germany's 1-0 victory over Poland, a nail-biting encounter decided in injury time, cracked it. This isn't the first time Germany has blamed the Polish for giving them an excuse to penetrate (see September 1939). How many of those kids will be named "Zinedine Zidane"?

Zero. I expect a few Michaels, a few Bastians, and maybe a few adventurous parents going for Miroslav.

The really cool girls got pregnant while the game was still on.

The really cool girls got pregnant while the game was still on. You mean the ones that could hold onto the beer stein without spilling a drop and not obstruct the full view of the TV while being sturmfangered?

Why of course. Is there any other way to do it?

My daughter was born on January 27, too early to be a World Cup baby. There is also no truth to the rumour that she was conceived on May 12.

I blame the their manager, Klinsman. He was on TV saying said he'd like see them get it into the box early and often.

Those fucking Germans! As for the post-handball boom, wouldn't that just lead to a bunch of handjobs?
