how tom turned jerry's shirt blue

how TOM turned jerry's shirt blue

tom and jerry are two advanced nano-scientist stickbots on tech-lunch break.

tom want's to try out his new technique of colour-changing-telekesis-cloning
so he touches jerry, sending a super direct-connect-wi-max signal. jerry's eyes turn yellow as his nano-core processes the incoming connection.
after a quick calculation, jerry's eyes turn red...
tom is satisfied; the first test worked almost flawlessly.
however he wants the whole schAbang, so still touching jerry he sends a higher signal.
jerry's shirt turns yellow while processing this new level of wi-max, tom's eyes flicker... the amount of power he is using is subtracting from his personal storage capacity, but determined to see this experiment through, he quadruples his dc to the maximum level avalaible.
SUCCESS, jerry's shirt turns blue, the procedure works and tom ends his connection.
now if only he could find a way to change the proccessing colour to blue.........cue the song 'blue' - eiffel 65
