In honor of the holiday, I offer you a Muppet-ized version of “Danny Boy”:
Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

Aw, yeah, Muppets.
Am I correct in assuming you are raising your children w teh Muppet Show? About half the new grad students at my institution had never seen the Muppet Show — we ran remedial education sessions.
Because if one doesn’t know Beaker, how can one survive grad school?

It’s tragic, I tell you, the lack of awareness. I’m in advertising, and almost sold a great PSA with beaker and Bunson as spokespeople, but the head client wouldn’t go for it, cause she preferred “more recognizable” muppets. The muppets need their own awareness PSA.

this makes me happy every time I watch it.
I work in a chemistry lab, and I wear my Beaker shirt quite often!
