getting ready for halloween...

wouldn't you know it... someone, in the lab, has been starting to prepare candied shrunken brains for distribution to all the wee trick-or-treaters that will flood our doorsteps at the end of the month... First you have to find some choice brains that are not too old, nor too young. Then they have to be cured in a special solution for about 7 years in an underground cave (no light, constant temperature) or refrigerated chamber. During that time, they shrink down about 17.2 times smaller than their original size (+ or - 3cm).Then they are painted with candy coatings of various colors (oftentimes, with the color scheme and logo of the most hated sports teams). And then they find their way into the mouths of innocent children (and pets and squirrels).
