\nExperiment #2: Super Speed!<\/span><\/strong>
\n
\nThe ability to move really fast seemed like the next cool superpower we should try, until we found out that Flash<\/strong> and Kid Flash<\/strong> got their speed by bathing in dangerous chemicals<\/em>. After a really bad experience with Axe body wash, we decided to bypass that one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Instead, we found a superhero called The Whizzer (perhaps the Incredible Incontinent Man\u2019s friend) who got his super speed by — we\u2019re not making this up — having his doctor\/father save him from an African cobra bite by giving him a transfusion of mongoose blood!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, there\u2019s another way to get super-speed, according to comic books: a drug called Velocity 9<\/strong>, which was invented by a super criminal named Vandal Savage. The good news is that it makes you really fast, but the bad news is the side effects: A highly addictive drug that grants temporary super speed, but speeds up the body’s metabolism, leading to dehydration, severe exhaustion, psychosis and what looks like rapid aging. <\/em>So basically, it\u2019s like almost every other pharmaceutical drug sold today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This time, we called a Canadian pharmacy to order Velocity 9. And of course, we got a gentleman from India to assist us.<\/p>\n

JP:<\/span><\/strong> Hello, I\u2019m thinking of running a marathon, and I\u2019m not really a big fan of training, so I\u2019m looking for a little \u201cedge.\u201d Do you carry Velocity 9? It\u2019s made by Vandal Savage, I think.<\/p>\n

CP:<\/span><\/strong> Could you spell that for me, sir?<\/p>\n

JP:<\/span><\/strong> Sure. V as in vasectomy; E like egalitarian; L as in lower lumbar; O as in Oprah; C as in cock-a-doodle-doo, I as in Ichabod; T as in tummy tickle and Y as in YAHOO!<\/p>\n

CP:<\/span><\/strong> [He takes a very long time to look it up, so I begin to whistle the theme from \u201cMighty Mouse,\u201d badly. He comes back soon after.]<\/em> No sir, we don\u2019t have any of that medication.<\/p>\n

JP:<\/span><\/strong> Well I see that you also do herbal remedies, and I read about something that the Kenyans have been using to help them. Do you have any mongoose blood?<\/p>\n

CP:<\/span><\/strong> [Pause]<\/em><\/p>\n

JP:<\/span><\/strong> Preferably the injectable kind.<\/p>\n

CP: <\/span><\/strong>Good day, Sir. [Click]<\/em><\/p>\n
