"Don’t doubt my scienceness!"

If you are curious about the story leading up to this scene (ie, why the storyline is titled "Little Bacon Bots" or why they are in an underground lab or who the dude in the helmet is or why they are debating the ultimate food) you could always go back to the beginning of the story.

I did it when there were about 7 years worth of archives... that’s one week of my life I can’t get back, but it was worth it. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!

This post has been resurrected from my old blog's location. I've copied the 2006-03-19 post as-is, and I've added a few addenda at the bottom. I overstimulate fairly easily. This is a serious social disadvantage. I don’t know how much there is really to this, but I’m attracted to the notion of…
