A scientist’s attempt at playing God has gone awry after the man he reanimated turned out to be autistic, it has been revealed.
Victor Frankenstein, 40, had managed to create life in the form of a grotesque humanoid figure, but realised he’d celebrated too early when the creature awoke, ran off and immediately started trying to tear the labels off his clothes.
Frankenstein said: “I suppose I’d pulled off the tricky bit, but I was really hoping I’d create someone a bit more… like me. As it goes, I’ve just got this bloke who won’t stop talking to me about World of Warcraft and won’t let me give him a haircut.”
“I considered taking him to scientific conventions to show off my discovery but every time I mention the word ‘convention’ to him he asks if William Shatner will be there. I still can’t tell whether he’s asking because he wants to meet Shatner or avoid him completely.”
At the time of writing, Frankenstein’s monster has reportedly fled to the Arctic, either to escape his master’s wrath or because sweating makes him want to rip his own skin off.
