The couple's announcement that they're having a baby last week inspired more than a few Twitter users to hatch their own wacky theories about what the Kimye baby really means. An intentional diversion from more serious political issues? A plot to rule the world? Yeah, it gets weird.

I'm watching the Kardashian show where Kim is on birth control and she's freezing her eggs. But she pregnant now? Hmmm #Conspiracy

Look, the real Ron Swanson wouldn't waste his time with issues of continuity, especially when it comes to E! reality TV shows. Because he probably doesn't know who Kim Kardashian is.

So Kim kardashian announces she's having a baby and we officially go over the fiscal cliff the next day I'm officially calling conspiracy

— Tyler Hackett (@Tylhack) January 1, 2013

Yes, Tyler. Our nation's economy is closely tied to Kim Kardashian's menstrual cycle. When it stops, so does the American Dream.

And Tyler's not alone:

The Kardashian pregnancy is a government conspiracy to divert attention away from the fiscal cliff :0#butreally #watchthenewspeople

— Caleigh Bourgeois (@CalesBourgeois) December 31, 2012

But really. Watch the news, people.

I hate to sounds like a conspiracy theorist - but when a #Kardashian, a #Lohan, or a #Hilton is in the news - bad things happen in #DC.

That's not a conspiracy theory; it's a state of being. Bad things are always happening in D.C.

And then there are the "rap royalty" nutsos:

It's all an illuminati conspiracy for Kim Kardashian and Kanye's baby to grow up with Blue Ivy, then take over the world when they're older

People of Earth, meet your future rulers.

Kim Kardashian being pregnant is no surprise. Kanye gotta keep up wit Jay Z its all part of they conspiracy.

— Hate2SayIt¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@DOUGHBOIMUZIK) December 31, 2012

Hate2SayIt takes a more hipster conspiracy theorist approach: No surprise, I totally saw this coming, Kimye baby shock is, like, so last week.

Kanye and Kim kardashian gonna have a son that will marry blue ivy #conspiracy

— كيفن بندقية (@theGUNshow) December 31, 2012

Don't be a bigot, @theGUNshow. The Kimye baby could also be a daughter that will marry Blue Ivy. This is 2012, after all.

Manda's right. Babies are gross. They puke and poop and put their mouths all over everything. Seems kinda harsh to offer them up to the devil for it, though.

Is Kanye West's impregnation of Kim Kardashian just an elaborate conspiracy to stress-test the Internet? #justaskingquestions

— Armin Rosen (@ArminRosen) December 31, 2012

Hey, we're not saying it's a conspiracy. We're just saying the test is well under way.
