Hey /sci/, any anatomists/neurologists about? I have a question for them.

Say I had two pieces of steel the size and shape of a hand giving the thumbs up sign. Were I to drive one thumb through someone's right temple and the other through their left temple simultaneously, what parts of the brain would be punctured and what sort of horrible, horrible damage would this inflict?
