CAN SCIENCE CONTROL GOOD AND EVIL?
Byline Lois
Lane, famous science reporter.
“Yes it can”, says professor Ruff who is currently
conducting experiments on the island of Little Exuma. He is trying to eliminate
a troublesome side affect from his Magic Flashlight which converts evil people
to good people but makes them laugh uncontrollably. The professor is in
downtown George Town blinking his flashlight at the local natives and then
studying their resulting actions. His first test subject, after being blinked
at, mugs an old lady and steals her purse, but then helps her across the street.
Another subject robs a bank but then contributes the money to the Salvation
Army. So it appears that the blinking flashlight creates both evil and good.
The good news is neither subject was laughing uncontrollably. They were just giggling.
So progress is being made. The professor is adjusting the frequency of the
flashes to fine tune its affect. I will be reporting on his continuing research
in next week’s paper. Let’s hope for some good news.
