For Batman's 75th anniversary, I will reveal his true origin:

Protector of the innocent, falling from above onto the heads of evil-doers.

Your 300th blog post is truly epic.

Well, it's said Bob Kane was inspired by some of Leonardo da Vinci's sketches.

Those first two are pretty creepy.

Hmm, I don't know BH, I'm pretty sure Batman never had feet made out of small children.

Little babies when they die
Make jump boots just the right size.

Skin em down, Lace em up,
Put em on your feet!
Dead Baby Jump Boots can't be beat!

Alas, in my brief time at the US Naval Academy, we did not learn anything quite so dark.

Several which were lewd or otherwise terrible, but none quite so dark. Of course, they weren't supposed to teach us anything terrible, but, well, you can imagine that didn't work out so well.

How else are the enlisted men to learn their cadences if not from their officers?

Of course, my favorite question remains what I asked the Air Force officer (who was a professor there on exchange from the Air Force academy). You see, the Navy had, shall we say, cute nicknames for members of the other services (the mighty, mighty Chair Force being perhaps my favorite) and I was curious what the other branches of the military called the Navy.

"Nothing," he replied, "They're already seamen."

It was a hippie phase that I was going through.
Seriously, try getting shot in the parents and come out with no issues.

Is this "batman" standing on babies heads or are his/her feet just MADE of baby heads??? ...I'm not actually sure which of those seems more disturbing to me.
