It isn't as though you lose anything by using patched-up reanimated ones. Patched-up reanimated angels...great idea! Perfect for another little project of mine...  |

Oh well this is jolly good fun! If you would all be willing to accept a mad geologist into your ranks, I think that I might have an interesting experiment or two to try.

Sorry sorry don't mind me. Just working out the bugs in my portals. Really hate that they wear out only after a few dozen uses, and putting anything through larger and heavier than a person greatly shortens thier lifespan. Still, after initial construction they power themselves by ambient energy gathered from the between space subjects travel through, and I haven't found any ill side effects on mechanical or electronic doodads in transit.
Not my design, merely trying to make improvements.

Well I have fewer of my teeth each time I use mine, so, you're not the only one with a few bugs to work out...

Portals can be quite hard. I myself am trying to manipulate a Möbius strip type structure in the 4th dimension to create a permanent portal between 2 specific points. the secret is that on a Möbius strip from one point the farthest point away is the opposite side of the point so a hole will make a point that is on the strip the farthest and the closest. Shift this into the 4th dimension and you can locate the 2 points in different areas allowing an easy little tunnel through space.

You laugh at my name but let me tell you, after a duel with a dragon when your missing a heart and there is a dead dragon right next to you, you don't say no to a last minute transplant.

It would appear a breakthrough has been made in suspended animation. Apparently causing a lack of oxygen in an organism before cooling them down helps them avoid side-effects. The article also mentions a man who was cooled down for 23 days and surviving, I had no idea that had been done. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/11/suspended_animation_in_lab/ |

I'm working on a Mind reading machine which can see what you are thinking by creating a "Brain Dictionary" with a EMRI and useing it to pick up those thoughts in others Brain.
If you ar comfused then I don't blame you.

I have createda catapult out of paint cans, chain-link fences, and rope, which can, if opperated incorrectly, catch a knot in it and begin to fly around of it's own accord, fully self-perpetual powered, with the kinetic power upon even a scrap, to launch a full-grown man up to seven miles away, killing him on contact with the catapult gone haywire.
When functioning correctly, it launches watermellons fifty feet.
Mqy I join?

*steps out of clanking, smoking machine, covered in dust and soot*
Blast! Master timepiece out of calibration and busted a gasket, and me all out of butchers' twine and duct tape! Dreadfully sorry about that, gents. Mike ran off with the last of my bubble gum. I won't miss it, since I was all out of the Tuna Fish and Pad Thai flavors and was having to make do with Crunchy Dill Pickle. But it did leave me with absolutely no repair materials, and I keep skipping about, lately months in a jump. Inconvenient to say the least.
Anyone have something sticky I could borrow, and maybe a crowbar, for when I next see Mike? Since, after all, there's that tradition concerning when you're out of bubble gum...

I have a hectaliter of gum tree sap. Will this be of any use to you? My, so many mechanics around, is this really any place for a Mad botanist? Oh well, I suppose we can discuss which plants can yield the best lubricants, the best pesticides for dealing with a man-eating rosebush and how to turn an ordinary tree into a rampaging monster. |

As a physicist in training and osmeone slightly eccentric I will say mad science does appeal to be a litt.  |

The paleontologist Jack Horner has announced he plans to turn a chicken into a dinosaur. This seems like a wonderful bit of mad science. He wants to activate the dormant genes in chickens, for things like claws and teeth. Eventually this should lead to something looking a bit like a dinosaur. http://www.livescience.com/17642-chickenosaurus-jack-horner-create-dinosaur.html |

While it will potentially yield a nice little rude gesture to Ma Nature a Dinosaur it won't be. With that said I eagerly await the results. Mostly because I've always been more a machinist than a geneticist and I want to know how this one fails, see what the next revision does to cover/fix that failure, and what happens Next.
Just so long as the poor sods don't accidentally make a cockatrice.
