It has been said, but unproven to date, that staring into the light of a photocopy machine will make you sterile.

Not true - secretaries in our company are always going off on maternity leave.
Maybe it works the other way round - actually makes you less sterile (more virile)...?

Nah, it is probably because if you are so stupid as to stare into a photocopier's light, you also find the birds and bees beyond your range of grasp...so that is why they get pregnant so often

I think it's more likely that when you're leaning over the machine staring longingly into its mystical glow, you are presenting a favourable aspect to your lecherous male colleagues, who are apt to take advantage of your transfixed state...
