mad scientist

a scientist who invents crazy things, usually things that get beyond his scope of control, and may cause significant damage. He also may have a sick mind, or warped sense of humor.

Jamie, Matt, and Robert are mad scientists who live and work together in an old castle. Their latest invention is the six-dollar man, who did nothing but destroy their entire home, and laboratory. "Well, what do you expect for six dollars?" they said, and laughed.

The young mad scientist Kenny's new invention, Capital letter H, destroyed Kenny's home by crashing through the wall, and leaving an H-shaped hole. Kenny knew it would take years, to repair the significant damage to his home, and with the unhealthy economy, and Obamacare, at that.
