“ | First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth. | ” |
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Sprüche in Prosa (Proverbs in Prose), 1819 |
Fenspace's usual abbreviation for "Mad Scientist", inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000. While most people have a Blue Hair Day once or twice in their lives, Mads have metaphorical Blue Hair Days on a regular basis.
The Mads range from "slightly loopy" (Benjamin Rhodes, Kohran Li, A.C. Peters, etc.) to "full-out Hammer-Film-star candidates" (The Professor, Dr. Asmodeus Grey, etc.). Pray they're never all in the same place at the same time.
Foglio-Fen Mads are usually called Sparks, although not everyone who calls him- or herself a Spark is a Mad.
