What happens with the Butterfly effect if the butterfly is a radioactive mutant?

That mad fool! He's created a giant Death's Head moth that feeds on Human blood!

Why do I read that in Professor Farnsworth's voice?

cb361 said @ 5:51pm GMT on 13th Aug
Nah. It's Peter Cushing in The Blood Beast Terror.

If it had been Futurama, it would go on ... "Yes, remove troublesome blood stains and puddles with Professor Farnsworth's patented blood-drinking Death's Head moths. Available at only the best Dry Cleaners and laboratories."

Good news, everyone! You'll be delivering a crate of cocktail umbrellas to Mothra 8, the blood-drinking Death's Head planet.

Radioactive mutant hurricanes, obviously.

It's doubly funny because "pong" is an underused synonym for a bad smell.

I'm... too drunk to understand this. Fucking hell... :/

I can fap to it right?

"By comparing mutations found on the butterflies collected from the different sites, the team found that areas with greater amounts of radiation in the environment were home to butterflies with much smaller wings and irregularly developed eyes."

The potential for racist jokes here is off the chart.
