Japanese pop supergroup AKB48 is running something of an interesting promotional deal for a Japanese internet service provider. Sign up with them, and you get access to a web app that allows you to see what kind of babies you could make with one of the group's members. Just upload a picture, pick your favorite singer, and BOOM: A creepy little internet baby of your very own!
This promotional video for the deal is even creepier than what was just typed above:
Halloween is just around the corner, which means we're going to be seeing more parents dressing up their kids in strange and fun ways. We have two examples today: Our very own special little bundle of mutant love here, and this very furry Wicket-looking baby from our friends over at WIN.
My favorite part is the butterfly break.
Nathan Rippenger has illustrated some of the stranger things he's said to his children. (Prints are available at his Etsy shop.) What's the weirdest thing you've ever said to your kids? How did they respond?

A pregnant woman in Nanchang, China was in an internet cafe when she gave birth to a baby. She was waiting for her boyfriend to meet her. Some patrons called an ambulance and wrapped the baby in cloth. Meanwhile she continued to play her game until she and the baby were taken to the hospital to be met with her boyfriend and family. Who knows why she kept playing during and after such a dramatic life event, maybe she had to get to the next checkpoint before she could save?
