See, the difference between yer average person and yer average Spark can be elegantly summarized here... Whereas a normal person would think "OMG, what would happen if Popeye ate it?" In a fearful tone, as if recoiling from the mere possibility of such a thing...
A mad scientist would go "OOOH! I wonder what'll happen when I feed it to Popeye?" And immediately proceed to do exactly just that, all the while sporting a madboy grin and scrawling notes in a notebook.

So does Popeye. At least, he used to.
Often wondered what he's smoking, though.

Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby, Southern Star, or Southlinch would be my guess.

I believe the operative phrase here is 'shut up and take my money'.
Also, best representation of Popeye I've seen in quite some time. Almost reminds me of Higgs, third-class Airman.

That's Higgs, Airman Third Class. Nothing about Higgs himself is third-class.

You know, if you dry out spinach leaves, they burn quite readily... just sayin'...
And yea, someone dun goofed, Higgs is... angry. And you won't like him when he's angry.
Actually, I find it rather ironic. Vole taking the role of Hulk, Higgs taking the role of Popeye. Only this time, they're both hunting the same prey. I'd almost feel sorry for the Geisterdammen... almost.

Etaoin: "Shrdlu!"
