Ummmm… Ama­zon, do you know some­thing that we don’t?

Also, are you sug­gest­ing that we eat this hypo­thet­i­cal baby?

So I have no idea what the story is behind this email, but I guess I’ll find out in a week or so if some­thing is actu­ally deliv­ered or if it’s just a fluke in their email server.

FYI — one of the pod­casts I reg­u­larly lis­ten to had an email sent in about this very topic…

Ama­zon wants me to have babies
Hey buzz crew,

So I wake up today and check my e-mail, only to see that some­one has pur­chased a prod­uct from my baby reg­istry. Thing is, I’m not hav­ing a baby. This came as a huge sur­prise to both my wife and I. We got mar­ried in Sep­tem­ber and I’m led to believe that the Amazon.com A.I needs us to have this baby. Could it be that my baby will be the archi­tect of the robotic upris­ing? What are your thoughts?

If your fam­ily is any­thing like mine, con­sider your­self a vic­tim of the “sub­tle hint”. It started before we were even wed…

I won­der if this is some sort of scam where some­one finds, say, a wed­ding reg­istry and then cre­ates a gift reg­istry for you, incase some­one goes looking…hoping that they will receive “your” gifts.

Kim,

You prob­a­bly shouldn’t go to such smoky bars like the Horse Brass when you are preg­nant :)

Con­grat­u­la­tions.
