Summary:
The mice try to break into Microstomp and steal the
1286 GAK computer chip.
Description:
The mice mistakenly receive a tape that tells
them of the new prototype chip at Microstomp, the
1286 GAK, which is being unveiled tomorrow. It tells
them how to get past the traps. Brain plans to
reprogram the chip to his personality matrix so he
can take over the Internet. They break in, but find
that the chip has been moved for the unveiling. So
Brain creates a new one and switches them the next
morning. Unfortunately, they accidentally programmed
Pinky’s personality into it when he was plying
with the “copy machine”…

BRAIN: That’s it, Pinky, are you pondering what
I’m pondering?
PINKY: Whuh…I think
so, Brain. But this time I get to play the
dishwasher repairman!
Quote of the
Story:
PINKY: Um, good morning, Mister Uniformed
Security Man! I am Miss Tushy Nicecups from station
WHYZ and this is my cameraman!
GUARD: Press ID,
please.
BRAIN: We have no
ID’s, sir. We are, in fact, two lab mice in the
midst of an elaborate scheme to take over the world.
GUARD: Heh! You’re
about as funny as Dan Rather.
PINKY: Wow, Brain,
that was brilliant! He never suspected a thing!
BRAIN: When
confronted by the truth, Pinky, they never do.
Review:
A fairly amusing parody of the old Mission:
Impossible TV show and the recent movie, as well
as a few jabs at Microsoft/Bill Gates. However,
while it’s entertaining, one gets the feeling that
it’s not as good as it could have been.

Summary:
In ancient Rome, Brain attempts to gain
audience with Caesar by entering a chariot race.
Description:
Brain, a slave in the Roman Empire, decides to
travel to Rome to speak to Caesar and present his
great inventions. He decides to start a rebellion
that’s bound to fail, and be put on one of the
galley ships heading to Rome. After several
unsuccessful attempts, he’s finally put on the
ship, and in Rome, decides to enter a chariot race
win to gain audience with the emperor. They end up
winning by default, because of the stupid horse
Pinky picked (a Phar Fignewton clone), but when he
speaks to Caesar, his tomato-sauce-in-a-bottle
explodes in Caesar’s face…

BRAINIUS: Pinkus, are you pondering what I’m
pondering?
PINKUS: I think so,
Brainius. But what if a sudden wind were to blow up
my toga?
Quote of the
Story:
PINKUS: Run Sugar! Race like the wind!
BRAINIUS: Oh no! Why
has she turned around?!
PINKUS: I guess the
wind is blowing the other way, Brainius!
Review:
Another so-so story…still, while not quite up to
par with some of the stories in the series, it
serves its purpose, and is fairly
entertaining—just not all that great. Phar fans
should enjoy the cameo by “Sugar”…
