Muppet scientist Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker were voted best TV scientists in a BBC poll. The stars of Muppet Labs, "where the future is being made today," were unavailable for comment, but their close friend Kermit The Frog summed up their mass appeal. "They have spread the message that science is not just for short round-headed bald guys and their orange-haired goggle-eyed sidekicks. It's also for people like you and frogs like me," said Kermit.
