Line 9:
[[Mad Scientist|Mad scientists]] think that kind of attitude is for wimps.
 
When these guys get involved--or perhaps we should say ''[[Science -Related Memetic Disorder|obsessed]]''--with a project, they ignore all distractions. The prisoner's crying? I don't hear anything. Crime against nature? I haven't been outside in ten years, so I don't really care. Food, sleep? Obstacles. And enemies jumping into the lab are like volunteers you don't have to hunt down with a taser.
 
Those [[Power Born of Madness|who have found the Madness Place are very productive]]...for a time. [[Go Mad From the Revelation|Sometimes even a long time]]. But eventually, [[Bored With Insanity|they come back]], and have to deal with mere mortals again.
 
For obvious reasons, this trope is usually associated with the [[Mad Scientist]], but it can appear alongside other [[Cloudcuckoolander|personalities]]. As touched upon above, those in the madness place tend to [[Forgets to Eat|forget to eat]], bathe, and sometimes talk. They may think they've said something, or think it's so blindingly obvious they shouldn't have to mention it. In a sense, [[ItsIt's All About Me]].
 
Compare [[Happy Place]]. Not to be confused with [[Escape From the Crazy Place|the Crazy Place]].

Line 49:
* ''[[Girl Genius (Webcomic)|Girl Genius]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]]. When Sparks <s>retreat</s> advance to their Madness Place, amazing things can happen.
** Note: Amazing things may or may not include killing, rebuilding a glider in mid flight, building an escape machine in your sleep, and killing and reanimating yourself and your boyfriends to cure one of them of a disease.
* ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'' has this happen fairly often to [[Science -Related Memetic Disorder|SRMD]] sufferers, often after they get caught (though fortunately the symptoms are pretty predictable at that stage)
