Why did you build a death ray?
To take over the world.
No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?
Look, I’m just trying to take over the world. That’s all.
You’re at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?
Sad fact: most “mad scientists” are actually mad engineers.

I miss Cowbirds in Love.
For those who are curious it’s properly balanced. There are 24 slots available. Pairs: 1-13, 2-14, 6-18, 9-21, 10-22 Triple: 8-16-24 All pairs and triples have their centers of mass on the rotation axis.
What do you do if there’s a prime number of test tubes, like the thirteen in the picture?
If you don’t want to figure out some awkward balancing techniques, you can just use a balance tube. Fill a tube with water to a similar height of the tube it opposes.
THANK GOD. I WAS SO WORRIED!!!
This person centrifuges!
I’m going mad just looking at this. I mean maybe it’s actually balanced, but like… there are easier ways. Stop tryna flex and spin your shit down.
I disagree. A real mad scientist is still a human and not a centrifuge
He turned himself into a centrifuge in a mad science experiment!
I’ve heard an unbalanced ultracentrifuge explode and have seen the aftermath. Now that’s mad science!
Don’t worry, that’s actually perfectly balanced. That’s the mad part
There is no way those tubes are balanced step away from the centrifuge
They are, actually. Assuming opposite pairs / triples have the same amount of liquid.
Third photo should be of the dude from Explosions&Fire or NileRed.
Purple gold will be the death of us all.
Having dealt with this kind of thing before, it gives a new and more literal definition to the phrase “bloody idiot.”
That’s a properly balanced centrifuge. Perhaps we should be calling you the silly names.
Actual mad scientists: 🤬🥼🧪
i think that centrifuge might be actually balanced
yeah it is, it’s 5 pairs + one triangle
Any time you see a video of a cat backing up and saying “no no no no no” it’s because they’re watching the researcher’s hand move toward the on switch of that centrifuge.
