This is our new forum, "Ask an Evil Mad Scientist!" Ask a good question, and we (the Evil Mad Scientists of the world) will answer it. It's up to you, the question-asking populace, to determine whether this becomes a relationship advice column, an assembly language workshop, a culinary school, all three, or (hopefully) something entirely different. Sufficiently interesting questions may be posted to the front page of the blog. Ground rules: * Please start a new topic in this forum for each question that will be posed. * Feel free to elaborate on the meaning of the question in your post. * There is often more than one right answer-- Anyone that feels qualified to post an answer is welcome to do so.
