The
Muaths are coming!
(And they're performing
genetic cross-breeding experiments!)
Exposed to radiation from a faulty microwave in the lunchroom of the science
laboratories for which they work, 2 teenagers found themselves multiplied by 2
lab porcupines and mysteriously transformed into 4 Mutant Aikido Teenage
Hedgehogs! (The microwave was made in Japan!) Being on their lunch hour at
the time, the 4 now seem compelled to create new recipes, never suspecting
that the leaky lunchroom microwave is the cause of their -- and their lunch's
mysterious mutations!
Day 1.
Today, the Mutant Aikido Teenage Hedgehogs are trying various combinations of
edible gourds and dogs named Lassie; but all they get is a vague feeling of
overriding sadness. Can you figure out why?
