In honor of...#2...

Media scientist #2 is the great and glorious Beakman of Beakman's World.

Beakman wasn't the most scientific of the scientists we'll see in this series, but he certainly was one of the wackiest. His modus operandi was to come banging into the screen looking like a mutant love child of Kramer and some bad Albert Einstein parody, his female sidkick (Liza, Phoebe, or Josie depending on the year) and the giant rat Lester. Beakman would then answer, a la Dr. Science, viewer mail asking some scientific question. Beakman's answers, however, were far more scientific and a little wackier.

Again, there's some background info on Beakman, but we'll skip straight past that and into the clips today.

Beakman explains hair...

Beakman explains catalysts...

Beakman explains gas density...

Beakman explains why hitting a baseball is so hard...
