Citing the case of a woman who claims she got pregnant from
e-mail, an Ohio Democrat called Wednesday for a "chastity
chip" for the Internet. Rep. James Traficant, known for his

named Frances who claimed to have gotten pregnant through an
e-mail exchange with a paramour 1,500 miles away. "That's right

"immaculate reception." He called on Congress to go beyond

Internet, saying, "Its time for Congress to act. The computers

She responded, appalled "What on earth are blind people doing
driving?"
