Trust the Ferret, the Ferret is Wise

I've been thinking lately, so many of our alleged political and corporate leaders call themselves the sane, sensible, smart ones, and then get up in fancy suits and tell us absolutely crazy things they expect us to believe. So the idea this is giving me is to run for office somewhere, as a mad scientist. Tell everybody front up I'm crazy. Because when you're crazy, not only can you get away with saying things, and get all sorts of fun media attention, you can also explain that you're crazy because you dare to question the craziness that everybody else takes for granted. Running from outside the asylum, in some sense.

In that vein, here's Dr. Steel's video about Building a Utopian Playland.

Today is the birthday of one of the patron saints of mad science grumpy visonaries, Nikola Tesla. In lieu of doing anything myself, of course, I'll just point you at a) Google's nifty logo today (seriously, you don't need a link to google), b) The Davenport Sisters' Clockwork Cabaret episode and birthday card about Nikola Tesla, and c) apparently there's a hard rock band called Tesla too.

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.
