Tip number 1,342

Typing evil plans with a 17 lb cat lying on your lap like a baby and purring madly while trying to rub up against your fingers as you type is decidedly NOT evil.

Though it is truly maddening.

What am I up to now? (About 5.1 Thanks)

For those who need a review, here's the overview of the Scientific Method

Step 5 in the Mad Scientific Method: 5. Analyze Your Results:
At this stage, you want to be organizing and analyzing the data that you have collected during the course of your experiment in order to summarize what your experiment has shown you.

Hmmm, upon closer reading it seems that I could roll steps 5,6, and 7 into one final phase.

And NO I am not trying to wimp out on this project and just get it done faster so I can move on to the yawn diaries. You will be whipped for your insolence.

Let's look at 6 & 7.

6. Draw Your Conclusion:
This is your opportunity to explain the meaning of your results. Did your experiment support your hypothesis? Does additional research need to be conducted? How did your experiment address your initial question and purpose?

7. Report Your Results and Conclusion:
Since you are performing an experiment for the science fair, you will write a report and prepare a display board so that others can share in your discoveries.

(Final tip for conducting the scientific method: Throughout the process of doing your project, you should keep a journal containing all of your important ideas and information. This journal is called a laboratory notebook.)


Once we've gotten past 4 it's all a snowball in an avalanche. Sure, a small test to see if the scaled down version would work, and if all of the evil machinations are truly in place. But once that's done HOO BOY, look out Gotham! I'm 'bout to open a whole hot wired Skinner box worth o' crazy!

Let's break it down, 5: Analyze Your Results. What's to analyze? I've got an agenda here people and the time table doesn't allow for some sissy journal time reflection about how Igor didn't follow my directions quite to the letter and the resulting explosion could have skewed the results. Igor's been duly punished, so let's move on.
The resulting horror should be just as satisfying whether the city is consumed by flames or hordes or flesh eating grubs the size of Volkswagens. (Is it insensitive to thank the Germans for creating such a wonderful car during a time of true madness and then naming is something all mad scientists could benefit from for years to come?)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I just lost half of this post! GRRRRRRRR! RAAARARARARAR!

*sigh*

6:Draw your conclusion. "Did your experiment support your hypothesis?" Again with the reflection.

Ok, I've lost the momentum. I had great stuff about how everyone was going to know the results at 10:52 p.m. EMT on Tuesday, but now it's just gone. I can't recreate it. (Oh, you say, a true writer would have pushed through and just come up with something else equally as or perhaps even more funny. You're just another one of the blogger hacks who thinks she can write. Well, I'm done with you for now.)

That's just fine. And as a matter of fact, it fits right in with my newest most favoritest quote.

"Not everyone can play well with others. That's why people become writers." ~ Audrey, from "The Long Chalkboard: and other stories" by Allen and Feiffer

I'll get the six and seven groove back. Just later. And the last steps of the scientific method are still just really ONE BIG step in the mad scientific method. Things just start to move so quickly once you've unleashed some kind of terror on the world.
