The Anatomy of a Laser Baby Brain
by James Piggott

Here we see a cross section of the mysterious laser baby brain. While most of the inner workings are classified, you can clearly see that the catalyst for the nuclear laser reaction is powered by two AA Duracell batteries. You’ll also notice there is little room left for brain matter. This is why babies are so incredibly stupid. They are unable to walk, talk, or control their bowels. But hey, it’s a small price to pay for laser eyes.
