Ice baby
From A KoL Wiki
People often wonder where ice babies come from (or from whence come ice babies, if they're extra pretentious). The abbreviated version is something like this: stork, cabbage, half-strings of DNA: ice babies. Anyway, this is a cute little replica of a frozen infant wearing a broad, friendly smile. It's almost too cold, too cold to hold, though. At least that's the word I got from your mother.

- This item's description refers to a classic episode of the Jick & Mr. Skullhead Show on Radio KoL. In this episode, someone asked where babies come from. Mr. Skullhead's response involved a stork and a cabbage having intimate relations, producing half-strings of DNA, and resulting in "beer babies." (listen to remix by Yiab)
