Can someone explain the part about cheap kids from the stork, please? I may have misunderstood that.

  Someone asked him what stuff he likes which is cheap/free. His answer was kids, cheeseburgers and open courseware. Someone asked him where he got the kids from, to which he answered the stork. If you are not familiar, the stork is a common answer given to children when they ask where babies come from without telling them about sex. The children are told that babies are delivered by a stork, something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJfMv5oYa9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJfMv5oYa9k

    I see, thank you. I wasn't familiar with this expression, but it's more the mention of 'cheap kids' that I found awkward. I guess it's just me.

      It's just a joke, reddit humour is a little bizarre.

      Despite what 1st world countries say about kids being expensive, poor people generally have a lot of kids and having a new kid is as cheap and easy as having sex. One of the things Bill mentions is that as health improves (which is correlated with increased wealth), families have less kids.
