Or blow the world up with our Science Mad!
At school, there’s nothing that a Dave loves more
Than TMBG and some D&D;
But when the blows of Mell batter our face,
Then imitate the action of the gerbil:
Scamper and scurry, summon up some speed.
You’ll see me run like heck in just a sec,
Leaving a cloud of dust.  Don’t fail me, feet!
Flee from these rodents, and on this retreat
Cry, “God, why’d Helen land upon this shore??”

As we all know, Artie is even more correct than David is prepared to accept. And not just because David’s body was manufactured in the laboratory, every cell and organ the work of that wanton woman.

Freakishly oversized small things are indeed marvellously freakish. I can always appreciate the delicious cognitive dissonance of meek things suddenly being mighty, and minute things suddenly being immense.
