I'll harvest my outside ant hill, and see if I can evolve their intelligence somehow...

Create super ants to invade our kitchen for a better show...

Then I'll see if the other ants, together can fight off my super ants...
And so it was, that I had never changed.

Thus far, the craziest thing I have done For Science is light off some homemade ghetto thermite (Sr(NO3)2 salvaged from a railroad flare reacting with aluminum powder I bought online). My friend, however, has done plenty of crazy things For Science, including blowing up a yellow jacket nest with a road flare and a propane tank.

Test the effects and capabilities of our handheld portal device in the Enrichment Center.

Some humans and cube-shaped creatures try to stab each other during the testing, but other than that the science gets done and we make a neat gun for the people who are still alive.

I'm still alive and there really was a cake.

science isn't a religion to be worshiped. it is a way of looking at things. principally of doing so honestly. so this idea of "doing for science" is a bit of a mystery to me what is intended by.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"
