You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps.

Was it the long and lonely hours in the lab? Did their hyper intelligence isolated them from society? Or perhaps its the effects of chemical fumes. Regardless, these shining examples of insane-intelligentsia will captivate us forever with their reckless and eccentric ways.
