End of the mad scientific method, for now.

Today, class, I shall attempt to complete the mad scientific method by further defining how steps 6 and 7 - Draw your conclusion (crayons are a great medium) and Report your results and conclusion - from the actual scientific method just don't apply as necessary steps if you are mad.

I left off with 5 - analyze your results (see link below for a review), and made some appropriate snowball in an avalance references.

Once the hypothesis is tested in an incomplete and unsubstantiated method, all hades is going to break loose. There is no time to analyze, draw a conclusion, and then report on that conclusion. Everyone is going to know the results. As a matter of fact, everyone is going to know the results at 10:58 p.m. GMT on Tuesday if you must know ahead of schedule. (Yes, I had to switch the time. DON'T QUESTION ME!)

Prepare appropriately. Save your voice, there's going to be lots of screaming. And try to open your mind to a Lovecraftian world of possibilities here people. Truly, some of the mind blowing effects are lost if your little synapses simply click off, and you become the proverbial deer in the headlights. TRY to wrap your mind around it for at least a few minutes. All I'm asking is that you put yourself to the task of being honestly terrified before shutting down.

Look at Tom Cruise. As a matter of fact, he's a perfect example. He already believes, but I honestly don't think anything could prepare him for the terror. Or perhaps he'd be one of those types who is in rapture right up until the moment he is ripped apart by the minions. No matter how hard one tries, one cannot stop the screams and helpless struggle. The body just takes over. That loss of control is the utmost in terror. When you realize there is nothing you can do, and you won't mercifully pass out before the deed is done. Ah, the clarity of the moment.

It's touching really.

Thinking back now, after step 4 there is no method. But the fact that steps 1-3 are something any scientist can appreciate, mad or otherwise, I think proves that there is indeed a method to madness. And the mad scientific method is a valid path.

In a very un-mad move, I'm not going to call the work on this finished. There is refining to do, points that can be clarified, writing that can surely be improved upon. I've linked to the past posts about the mad scientific method below. Review at your leisure, comment, suggest.

But be very aware of the consequences of questioning my authority. Read Temporary Distraction if you have any questions.

Step 5: Tip Number 1,342 (and analyze your results)

Step 4: Finishing what you started (and test your hypothesis)

Step 3: Hypothesize this!

Step 2: The Fools!

Step 1: I am (and stating the question)

A final note about Mad and Insane

The Mad Scientific Method

The Scientific Method


Now that the mad scientific method has reached some sort of conclusion I can begin working on the yawn project. This means you will get to see pictures of me. Don't fret dear reader, it's not all that bad.
