So you think it would be overwhelming to accomplish both the education and the madness simultaneously? Doesn't one lead to the other anyways?
This is highly related to my theories on becoming an evil mastermind (the trick is to become the mastermind first, and *then* to become evil... many attempt to become evil first, and since they're not masterminds then they inevitably are caught and incarcerated before they accomplish their ultimate goals).

The issue here is brilliance before non-conventionality. If you are unconventional in your mannerisms, that's going to set off red flags, and people are going to immediately note that you plan to become a mad scientist as you pursue your scientific studies. The point is to keep a cap on the madness until you achieve a certain level of brilliance so that you may then unleash your madness upon the unsuspecting masses. To more directly answer your question, though, I believe that there's an axiom somewhere that requires mad scientists to do something with nuclear engineering and/or evil chemistry (please note that "organic chemistry" does not always or necessarily equate to "evil chemistry" in this context).

I personally plan to eventually become a superhero, and I felt it to be wise to scrutinously study buildings before attempting to leap them in a single bound.

I imagine that we will meet again at some point, o mad one...

(Also, some of you need to learn how to play this game. Your answers were much too pragmatic.)

ahh, so that's what politicians do wrong.

I guess I'm going to study up hard for now, and keep pranking the civils, and the evil will come
