Mad Science Theory

[forsyth]

For a long while, I've thought sexual frustration was one of the main things driving mad scientists. So if they started getting laid, they'd be a lot less likely to want to blow up the world. The last few months of Narbonic have hinted at the same thing, at least in Shaneon's world.

I'm feeling particularly sorry for Madblood, the only kind of relationships he seems to be able to manage are with arch-nemeses. Nd mostly they just play Parcheesi. Find him a nice little cute lab assistant who likes him, and he'd probably end up doing something useful with an arctic base. Maybe that's why Helen's mom cloned Helen, besides all the other crap that comes with relationships.

Hmm. Nobody tell Artie, he'd try and set up a mad scientist dating service to do good, and it'd end up almost destroying the world. Probably because mad scientists don't just tend to go drink when they get dumped.

I wonder if I should post this to snarkoleptics, it doesn't really involve anything useful, though.

In my experience, getting laid doesn't help the insanity nearly as much as one would think. I have many insane friends who support this theory.

Well, I meant Mad Scientist insanity in particular, with the "SHOW THEM ALL!" attention grabbing. So giving them attention without having to make a fleet of doombots could undermine it.

And sex with crazy people's reputed to be pretty good, even if it doesn't help the crazy.
