Hamptsters with Gas Masks

hehehehe I love this sketch - it's based on an off the wall comment one of my psych professors made - we were talking about how it is impossible to know how the mind actually works - trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out how a coke machine works w/o being able to open it - he then went on to say that a coke machine could be operated by trained hampsters for all he knew, and the coins that are inserted could be hampster food - we then went into a discussion of how we might be able to disprove the theory without opening the coke machine - and someone in the class came up with the idea of flooding the coke machine with some kind of knockout/poisonous gas and seeing if it worked afterwards, and the prof said "yup that might work, I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of equipping the hampsters with gas masks" and the image immediately stuck in my head, and I sketched it down at once so here you have hampsters with gas masks =)
