Who knew? (part 2)

The BBC says Australia's brothels ready to ruck:
Australia's brothels are gearing up for a steep rise in business around the Rugby World Cup.

With tens of thousands of foreign visitors expected for the month-long tournament, brothel owners are planning special events to lure fans of different nationalities.
Special events? But here's the shocker:
Robbie Swan, Media Director of The Eros Association, the trade body for Australia's adult entertainment industry, said brothels were gearing up after being surprised by demand during previous big get-togethers.

He said the 1994 World Council of Churches meeting in Canberra saw business increase by 250%.
Well yeehaw! I guess it's not all liberation theology and no play over at the WCC.
