Damn, the hottie in the glasses looks like someone I met in the Navy (think she was Army though). If that's her, damn, should have seen her out of uniform...

I need to get out more.

The first one is cosplaying Mosp, from Sluggy freelance, a minor character that AFAIK, hasn't made an appearance in several years.

Don't feel too bad, I haven't read Sluggy in years, and I still knew who it was.

Re: Mosp, She's actually a good friend of mine. It was her couch I was crashing on during Gustav. She's a real worrld a mad scientist working for the .gov, doing unnatural things to insects. If giant kung-fu wielding mantises take over the world, it's going to be her fault.

Maybe you could suggest to her that she modify them to consider Zombies a great taste treat. Sometimes problem + problem = solution! :mrgreen:

By "unnatural" do you inserting probes to monitor they're reactions, or are we talking gene splicing so they grow 50 feet tall and develop an appetite for anything in BDUs?

If there's one thing A Miracle of Science taught me, to be called Mad Science it really has to have Global Domination as an end goal. Otherwise you're just another quirky researcher, even if you do occasionally have bouts of maniacal laughter. :mrgreen:

Zombies...liberals...Jihadists...all three.

You know, whatever. I like to give mad scientists a more free hand.
