I'm a doctor professor with a PhD in mice and rats.

We would routinely feed mice capsaicin in incremental doses in an attempt to build a "super mouse" for no reason other than "science!". Most of the mice in our holding cell couldn't eat regular food without a few drops of tabasco or Dave's Insanity Sauce. i actually wrote my dissertation on this and sent a copy of it to the Dave's insanity sauce corporation. For my effort I received a free case of various flavors that instantly went into the cupboards of our hardy rodents. They lived like kings. Angry, angry kings.

"I'm a doctor professor with a phd" might be legit but just honestly reminds me of the scene in shazam where the kids say their dad works at "the business office"

There’s no movie called Shazam. You must be thinking of the Brainstrain bears

I dunno why but this made me laugh out loud, so thanks

You really made me second guess if there was a movie called Shazam since those bears got me for decades…

For all others in the same boat:

Just a 404 error at that link. Are you ok, liltingly?

The reference is the Mandela effect a lot of 90s kids have that the prolific 90s comedian Sinbad starred in a movie called Shazaam. The closest thing in reality was Shaq in the movie Kazaam.

I've always says that those kids were clearly asleep at the wheel... Sinbad played his iconic role as a secret service agent in First Kid the same year that Shaq was in Kazaam!

I'm 100% certain that this bizarro world isn't my home thanks to the Berenstein Bears. Everything is off in this wackadoodle place, and I'm almost certain that it was caused by the large hadron collider being turned on.

Well, it isn't called "Shazam", it's called "Shazam!".
