Brains

I should have a bite to eat first so that I don't have a regretfully growling stomach on the way down. Rabid: Here goes... huh? There is a lonely kitty here! I should take it to the building's concierge before I do this. Dr Quickly: Your poor attention span has exceeded the operational parameters of my virtual suicide simulator. Rabid: It was exceedingly realistic until it stopped being realistic!
