- Taking over the world, one blog post at a time

Quick peek at Ancient Greek

Evil Genius Inc is currently on mid-year school holidays. And it has not exactly been the best school holidays. We’ve had toxic paint fumes right outside our front door (always a joy during pregnancy), 10 days straight of rain, and then the spawnlings were hit with Slap Cheek (5th’s disease […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #35

The weather is crappy. Really really crappy. It’s cold, wet, and there’s only so much you can do in the confines of the Evil Genius Lair. BRING OUT THE BOARD GAMES!! EG History lesson – EG Dad and I are not known for our friendly, jovial, nature during board games. […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #34

Every Evil Genius Lair needs a First Aid kit. Something easily retrievable when minions are set alight, or eye-brows singed, or chocolate smeared across ceilings. However, I often wonder about exactly what needs to be in the EG First Aid kit. Bandages, band-aids, plaster tape – sure. We know all […]

The Flame Challenge – with Alan Alda

Spend a little time watching spawnlings at work play and you will start to see that science comes naturally to them. Seriously – science is an art form. It is purely about finding out how and why things happen. (Oxford Dictionary) Definition of science (noun) The intellectual and practical activity encompassing […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #33

It is that time of year again. If you’re North of the border, you’re hitting Summer Holidays. Zombies (teens with default “I’m bored” settings); Vampires (pre-teens with inability to earn their own money, drive themselves anywhere, and clean up own mess); and Trolls (creative parents on the web who brag […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #32

Father’s Day is approaching for minions in the United States of America. For Mother’s Day last month, EG Dad received a little robot vacuum cleaner. Yes, I know – EG MUM is supposed to receive on Mother’s Day, not EG Dad. But hey, this was given to him (a prize […]

The Ideal Evil Genius Pet

Do you have a pet? A fluffy puppy? An evil cat? At Evil Genius Inc, we have three. Yes – 3. And today, I really REALLY regret each of them. You see, we have dragons. Yes – Dragons. Oh, alright – if you want to spoil the magic. They are […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #31

Sometimes life is just too well-timed for my liking. Sitting back last week, and I find myself chortling along with EG Dad as he reads Big Family, Little Income. Apparently, there’s a bit of talk about the stereotyping of dads – particularly the portrayal of dads as dumb-arses. Don’t get […]

Evil Genius Tool #5 – Umbrellas

Umbrellas. The Final Frontier. Or at least at schools on rainy days. Sinister’s school attempts to discourage the use of umbrellas on rainy days. I simply do not understand why. They are the most useful arsenal you could have in the vicious world of school yards. Kids particularly love the […]
