So you think you’re dating a mad scientist: A modern teen’s guide
Everybody loves a mad scientist. And lucky you! You just so happen to be dating one! … You think.
Let’s just make sure, shall we?
1. Oh, your boyfriend is mad, all right. Very mad indeed. But it turns out that instead of science, his obsession is millinery.
The Mad Milliner!
Interesting story! The famous courtesan Kitty Fisher was a milliner before she became a courtesan. Later, she died of lead poisoning due to the ingredients in the popular face makeup of the time.
(Shut up! Learning things is fun!)
2. Your boyfriend is mad, and also a scientist. Also, he has a pet monster.
And sometimes, people call the monster by your boyfriend’s name.
Et tu, Google?
3. OK, your boyfriend is a scientist, AND he’s mad, and he’s also really, really old.
And from the future!
Good news, everybody!
… I can’t think of anything funny to follow that up with.
4. Madness is a trait of your boyfriend’s, and maybe he’s a scientist, but probably not. Also, his name is Max.
And he’s Mel Gibson before he went mad.
Or at least before he was so damned open about his madness, anyway.
5. So let’s say your boyfriend is a genius scientist who happens to be mad. Should you feel badly about two-timing him with his evil self?
Eh…no?
I like this cover, because Jekyll invented Hyde with vodka!
6.Your boyfriend’s mad, a scientist, and Edison hates him soooo much.
He’s probably just jealous that they’ll get David Bowie to portray him in the movies.
Who doesn’t love a mad scientist with a mustache that luxurious? (Except Edison)
7. For your birthday, he got you a puppy.
And its DNA had been spliced with a human’s, and it’s miserable, and you’re miserable, and you all live miserably together on an island.
…And the island is named after him and also Val Kilmer is there for some reason.
8. He travels to other universes!
And has a pet cow.
They don’t get much madder than Walter Bishop.
9. He might be mad, he’s definitely a warrior, and he battles evil.
And hangs out with Warwick Davis.
(It’s a Willow reference. Get it?)
Val Kilmer makes two appearances in one post? I feel a bit dirty now.
10. He travels through time in elegant fashion, and has awesome (?) hair.
Some folks might say you could do better than dating Doc Brown, but some folks are crazy.
But not as crazy as Doc Brown.
There you go. Unless you’re dating the Mad Hatter, Mad Max or Madmartigan, then you’re definitely dating a mad scientist. I hope this helped you. I know it helped me.
