karen: Do you think Rodney counts as a mad scientist?
betty: More irate than mad, I'd say.
I was listening to
Seven Old Ladies this afternoon, and kept mishearing the chorus. One thing lead to another, and suddenly I had this masterpiece on my hands.
I'm not sure how much fun the following will be if you haven't heard
the original song, however. (Or, if you'd rather not,
here's one of the many versions of lyrics.)
Thanks to

petronelle for helping me figure out eligible characters and other enabling behaviour. ;)
Seven Mad Scientists
Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Seven mad scientists stuck in a laboratory
They were there from Sunday to Saturday
Nobody knew they were there
The first was a man by the name of Lex Luthor
He built a huge magnet that he had no use for,
and then walked too close in an iron suit and spurs.
And nobody knew he was there.
The second mad scientist was Frankenstein.
He told his creation it was doing fine,
and then had to listen while the creature whined.
And nobody knew he was there.
The third mad scientist - Pamela Isley -
tried to breed an army of plants that were wily,
and found herself wrapped in a new type of ivy.
And nobody knew she was there.
The fourth mad scientist was Otto Octavius
He broke all the doors that were in his arms' radius
while rehearsing a speech with appropriate rage, yes.
And nobody knew he was there.
The fifth one in trouble was Victor Von Doom,
who learned that Reed Richards would visit the moon,
so he built a trap, but it went off too soon.
And nobody knew he was there.
The sixth mad scientist - Nathaniel Essex -
paid little attention to one of his projects,
and when it exploded it caved in his complex.
And nobody knew he was there.
The last one was known as Doctor Moreau.
He became enthralled watching his hybrids grow,
and just didn't notice it was time to go.
And nobody knew he was there.
Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Seven mad scientists stuck in a laboratory.
They were there from Sunday to Saturday.
Nobody knew they were there.
