<< Dear Doctor Science,
What does a brain child look like and where does it come from?

-- David Smith from Fort Collins, CO

A small, prepubescent thing with a large head, delicate hands (usually
found holding a violin), and thick glasses. A brain child was the
offspring of any of the group of advisors called in by Franklin D.
Roosevelt, known as the brain trust. When one of these advisors
spawned, it was known as a brain storm. Brain children were actually
the first baby boomers and were instrumental in deciding Harry Truman's
foreign policy. Many of them now own and operate think tanks, which are
like private clubs for brain children who cannot make it on the
outside.
