I rarely come in contact with babies. I have almost no idea what one does with a baby, or how one keeps a baby alive until it can fend for itself. I tend to think babies should be born in incubators, raised in groups on isolated islands, where, through a Darwinian process, only the finest Ubermenschen are introduced to society upon maturity. They should be identified by number, wear uniforms and by adulthood know two things: 1) That I am their supreme leader. 2) That they are willing to do anything, including die, to serve my most immediate and trivial needs. Until the day comes when my jackbooted thugs set society straight, it looks like the public will have to interact with and care for babies in a non-state institutional manner. Theoretically, some day, I might even have to deal with one myself.
I have a nasty fetish for instructional diagrams and when Michele sent me this link to an array of graphic instructions on baby care from makememinimal, Instrucciones para cuidar un bebé, I couldn’t stop laughing. You. Click. Link. Now! Enjoy!

Ha, those instructions are hilarious, and useful too! I like how the baby still seems to be paying attention at the chess game, maybe it’s a super baby.

I think the baby is angry because the adult is cheating at chess, since the super baby is beating him so badly.
