    Babies superheros! Can’t be better that this!
    like in that song
    “Oh yes, he’s a superhero,
    He saves the world, with laser eyes”

    I always try to guess who made a post after I read the headline and glance at the associated picture. Nailed this one.

    The Australian net filter detected the doodle at front right and sent me down for six months. Thanks, boingboing.

    I wonder how long it will be until some Boinger is arrested for CP by some overzealous DA for having this picture on their hard drive. :(

    This is what happens when you raise free range kids. Didn’t we tell you that it was dangerous to let kids out and explore? I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

    Superman really should wear a condom.

      Nanuq, do you know a pharmacy that carries the kryptonite variety?

    • Felton

      Actually, these are clones made by Lex Luthor from Superman’s discarded toenail clippings, kind of like in Superman IV (shudder).

      • Phikus

        This brings up the question: How exactly does Superman cut his nails? What clippers would be up to the challenge? (If he burns them off with heat-vision, then no clippings would remain.) How does he cut his hair / shave / trim his nose-hairs? How does he exfoliate? Does he have some kind of cosmic loufa?

        • akbar56

          As for nails, I am not quite sure. But in the comics superman has often been shown to shave using a mirror reflecting his heat vision back onto his face.

          How is vision is strong enough cut his Superman hairs, yet not strong enough to punch through the mirror I am not sure.

        • Felton

          Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. Can he use his teeth? Seeing Superman bite his nails may take away from his super-dignified image, but it might be the only way.

        • Shelby Davis

          Don’t know if a later explanation has since supplanted this, but back in the 60s the comic books claimed that Superman’s hair/nails simply didn’t grow under a yellow sun. When he went to a planet with a red sun, his hair/nails would start growing again–but he would also have lost his invulnerability, so clipping wasn’t a problem.

          Ohmygosh I am not nearly as big a nerd as I just sounded like.

            I was wondering about vampire hair. The Twilight types can only be cut by vampire teeth. If that’s true for their hair, what happens when Rosalie wants a Brazilian?

    The water buckets provide vital cooling. An laserbaby without an external heat sink will go critical in a matter of minutes.

    was some large monster alcoholic doing baby shots again?

  • Phikus

    I hear him, before I go to sleep
    And focus on the day that’s been
    I realize he’s there
    When I turn the light off and turn over

    Nobody knows about my babe
    They’ll think he’s come from some lost horizon
    And suddenly I find myself
    Looking at the light-show I’ve never known before

    Telling me about Krypton
    His nemesis, til eternity

    Ooh, he’s here again,
    The child with the lasers in his eyes
    Ooh, he’s here again
    The child with the lasers in his eyes

    Hes very understanding
    And hes so aware of all my situations
    And when I stay up late
    Hes always waiting, but I’m glad he hesitates

    Oh, I’m so worried about my love
    They say, no, no, it wont last forever
    And here I am again, my girl
    Wondering what on earth I’m doing here
    Maybe he doesn’t need me
    What with all his crazy laser beams

    Ooh, he’s here again
    The child with the lasers in his eyes
    Ooh, he’s here again
    The child with the lasers in his eyes

    I’m more intrigued by why all those babies are sitting around in buckets.

    Baby flavored jello cups?

    This is clearly a fake! You can tell by the angle of the laser beams from the baby on the left. The beams are plainly not in the direction of the baby’s view.

    Boing Boing duped again.

  • tyger11

    Just look at them.

    But not in the eyes!

  • Phikus

    It’s amazing how none of them are hitting each other. Do they have some kind of laser-sense that keeps them from hitting other laser equipped babies?

    • Felton

      I think the baby in the back may have a wandering eye. That’s a pretty wide angle.

      • IamInnocent

        Ah! The Power of Divergent Strabismus! Little known, great surprise advantage, few Super Girlfriend alas.

    • Felton

      It’s amazing how none of them are hitting each other.

      The photographer had probably been waiting there all day, watching them laser each other in the head, waiting for this one perfect shot.

    Laser hair removal is a real thing. And I wouldn’t be shocked if there wasn’t at least one mirror involved.

    But obviously, that’s just puny human hair. Not SuperHair.

    Baby Jello Shots have bred in a strong natural defense by necessity. Otherwise they would face certain extinction.

    Those laser beams look suspiciously non-collimated. I think the babies need to check their optical cavities.

    You guys have total noobs on the Superman angle. Larry Niven outdid you all.
