Mad Scientist House Owner Jonathan Says:

Ah- the Serenity Pots and Pans. Of all the things to notice or focus on in my mad-scientist house, one of the few non-crazy items gets all the attention. Well- that and the Big Chair. This- I suppose is the way of things.

My lips are sealed

Nothing to see
Move it along

Tell!
