Description
I decided to go in another direction for Mad Science..I even got a little story to go with it. Enjoy.
Muahahahahahahaha!!
Professor Wolfe was ruthless to the extreme, but a brilliant scientist. Over the last 22yrs he�d managed to claw his way to becoming the worlds leading X-O Biologist.
But even he had to laugh and wonder at the level of pure nastiness and evil he�d sunk too, to be placed as head of this government research project.
They say that the alien craft this was found on was a cursed wreck floating abandoned in space. Fools! Didn�t they know there was no such thing as monsters?
With a self satisfied smirk he lifted the glass on the Cryo-container to get a better look at the specimen as it floated gently on a cushion of anti-gravity.
Maybe his rivals were right he was the monster they believed him to be, but didn�t they know only he deserved the �Honor� of examining mankind�s first contact with alien life?
It was a shame they were dead, now his name would be the one to go down in history.
Hubris or hybris (Greek �β�ι�): according to its modern usage, is exaggerated self pride or self-confidence (overbearing pride), often resulting in fatal retribution.
1884, from Gk. hybris "wanton violence, insolence, outrage," originally "presumption toward the gods," of unknown origin.
