I am recording this because I just gave you the key to my place, and although we've had the "boundaries talk" several times these things still happen and I wanted to have a chance to explain. Needless to say-I have to add this-your puny human weapons are powerless against me. I understand if it initially gave rise to confusion, panic, or small-arms fire. Please forgive the unsettling nature of my appearance-the holographic projector is my own invention and probably very lifelike apart from the change in scale, which I believe lends a dramatic effect. If you're receiving this message then you have probably made a startling and disturbing discovery regarding the nature of my scientific work. PROFESSOR INCOGNITO APOLOGIZES: AN ITEMIZED LIST Is there any way to explain to her that beneath his mild-mannered façade as a physics professor, he's got the skills to take over the galaxy? Is there any way to reconcile a relationship built on lies? And should he wear his costume to their next couple's counseling appointment?īeneath the humor, this tale asks a more chilling question: What role do secrets play in our relationships-and do we really want to know everything about our partners? It doesn't take a genius-evil or otherwise-to fear the consequences of a love built on lies. There's just one barrier lying between him and perfect happiness: his fiancée.

He's got secret rooms and hologram projectors, midnight costume changes, and plans for sentient tigers. Professor Incognito likes to live the lifestyle of any classic supervillain. How crazy can an itemized list really be? Well, in this story, a simple list of Professor Incognito's apologies reads like the confession of a remarkably evil genius. Our first journey into the realms of madness looks reasonable enough.
