Evil Scientist Bath

So now Dr Frankenstein can mull over evil inventions in an suitable environment.

The hall is huge - easily a mile wide, and twice as long. Far above, in the vaulted ceiling, bats roost, their pitiful shrieks and cries adding to the macabre atmosphere. In the very centre lies a huge granite-lined pit, surrounded by approximately 118 taps. With a creak of rusty bolts, the door at the far end opens. Through it emerge two figures - one is the professor - tall and thin, with masses of white hair, the other is his servant, Igor.
"My armour, Igor", croaks the professor, "Quickly!" The hunched figure approaches dragging a huge, lead-lined radiation-proof suit of armour, which the professor quickly changes into. Once dressed, he begins to walk, hydraulics hissing and groaning with the movement. After what seems like millenia he reaches the bath, lying back on its granite bottom with a sigh.
"The taps, Igor."
"Which oneth tonight, masthur?" Igor casts his eyes over them, each one marked with a number and a chemical symbol.
"Something dramatic, I think... Bromine first." Igor turns the tap marked Br, and hundreds of litres of stinking brown liquid thunder into the tub. "Now, the chlorine..." Another tap, this time marked Cl is turned, this time gallons of liquid chlorine rushes out. "Ha ha... hahahahaaaaa..... ohhh, this is fun! I think we need to finish with a bang, though. Francium, Igor." Apprehensively, Igor approaches the tap marked Fr.
"Ith thith withe, masthur?"
"Now, Igor!" Igor turns the tap, quickly blocking his ears as a series of deafening bangs issue from the bath. Through the smoke and flames he can still hear the professor....
"Mwahahahahahahahaha... hahahahaha.... haaaaaaaa!"

       Poor Victor - reduced from divining the secret of life to bathing in bromine.   

       Also, I think that after the chlorine he would need new bats.

       ... and somewhere, off in the distance, a hand dryer whines to life ...

       Bun for exposing evil scientists to chlorine.
Bad Jim, Jan 22 2009
  

       The bunth, Itth the bunth!

       No, it's pronounced Eye-Gore.   

       Perhaps you're thinking of the hangman in Blazing Saddles.
Ian Tindale, Jan 23 2009
  

       I think Igor ith an impothter. A real Igor would never ask "Ith thith withe mathter?" He would merely thand further back when turning on the tapth.

       sp. Frankenstein ("i" before "e" except in German surnames, or something like that)

       I want one of these! The bath that is, I can supply the evil genius myself.
wagster, Jan 24 2009
  

       It's pronounced "Fr-ahn-kun-shteen"
AbsintheWithoutLeave, Jan 24 2009
  

       Taps for gold, frankenstein and myrrh?
wagster, Jan 24 2009
  

       //I can supply the evil genius myself//   

       And the Igor?
up_on_cloud_nine, Jan 24 2009
  

       //Taps for gold, frankenstein and myrrh?//   

       Cue laughing coughing fit. Maybe use mirth for the tagline variant.
bigsleep, Jan 25 2009
  

       That's a good one, actually. Or myth, maybe?
up_on_cloud_nine, Jan 25 2009
  

       I went with "Cold, Frankenstein and Myrth". Makes you look twice.
UnaBubba, Jan 25 2009
  

       Not an invention and I think the bakery is getting too easy [-].
quantum_flux, Jan 25 2009
  

       Haven't seen many offerings from you recently, [mr_flux]!
wagster, Jan 25 2009
  

       I'm somewat disappointed, I thought the idea would be similar to a jacuzzi but with dry ice bubbling out and flowing over the side. Now that's something I'd want.   

       There's nothing quite like an icy blast to purse the sphincter.

       Marklar - if all the elements are in liquid state then liquids nitrogen and oxygen should be cold enough, no?
up_on_cloud_nine, Jan 26 2009
  

       //Not an invention and I think the bakery is getting too easy [-].//   

       Ahh, lighten up! :)
