No, it is not a crack on Barack Obama.  It is a touching story of an 111 year old reptile that will become a father for the first time!

111-Year-Old Reptile Finally Becoming a Father

By The Associated Press

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Officials say an indigenous New Zealand reptile regarded as one of the last living remnants of the dinosaurs will become a father for the first time in decades at the age of 111.

Henry the tuatara and his younger mate Mildred produced a dozen eggs last month after mating at the Southland Museum on New Zealand's South Island in March.

Tuatara curator Lindsay Hazley said Wednesday Henry has lived at the museum's special enclosure for Tuatara since 1970 and had shown no interest in sex until he recently had a cancerous growth removed from his genitals. He was now enjoying the company of three females and might breed again next March.

Hey, cancerous growth on genitals will turn anyone off for a hundred or so years!!
Furbs, by then you won't need a pill, you'll just turn a dial in your bellybutton to "conceive" or "no conception".

TI, I've been awaiting praise from you for my clever usage of conceive & inconceivable. I'm feeling low self esteem now.
Good point Furbs, where is the old dude with the calendar. And why didn't they check the genitals of the reptile for over 100 years? When there's no conception, isn't that one of the first places you check for normalcy?

Sorry gunrights - I was stewing in my work today - that was quite clever. Do you make a regular habit of inspecting reptillian genitals?

It's not a regular habit, but a hobby that's becoming more interesting by the day.

BTW, it's not a small job, just small parts.

There are no small reptillian genital inspectors, only small parts.
