about

This track is based on "Careful with that axe, Eugene".

Axel experimented with plant eugenics, working to develop a plant that would provide more food with less land and labour. He was its first test subject, and was rapidly reduced to a skeleton.

This case is being investigated by the Cambridge Vegetable Police Department, which is unusual in that it was founded in 1856 by Charles Darwin and has yet to be disbanded. Even though Axel had been dead for several years, veganism was considered to be the main motive in the crime. It turned out that a super-intelligent carrot, who believed that carrots were intellectually superior to humans, was the culprit. He had hypnotised Axel during a lecture, and compelled him to turn to a vegan diet.

The Carrot League was disbanded after a loud, angry debate; it was decided that most carrots did not want to slaughter all humans, and most humans did not want to slaughter all carrots. Axel's wife, Bjorna, however, was disgusted by the turn of events, and committed suicide by turning into a carrot. The Carrot League was reformed soon after the tragedy and Axel's death, taking over the smooth running of this increasingly effective campaign.

Axel's theories were very important to the development of a carrot-approved worldwide society, and since his death the University of Oslo has become completely vegetarian.
