Zany, haughty scientists. Because, together with their avaricious yearn for to encroachment human design, and all. And, man, is that focus scientist "fugly" - and "British" to boot! The hugely motivating US military has rest gear to do together with its time than sweep up the science jumble of gawky British boffins.
