Mr Wizard was a Dick

I had fond memories of Mr wizard until I saw this.



I have always wondered why science guys get a pass for hanging out with kids. Who were these parents that let their kids hang out with some unmarried, unemployed crotchety old man all day? Mr Wizard often let the kid take home whatever experiment they were doing, which counts as a gift. Didn't Michael Jackson get in trouble for something like that? You can't tell me Mr Wizard didn't know how to make Rohypnol. Mr Wizard had to retire once they caught him teaching one of the girls why cows look forward to giving milk.

Did you ever see another adult hanging around Bill Nye's lab? It was always a bunch of teenage kids running around performing experiments for him and hanging on his every word. No one gets that excited about science without the assistance of amphetamines. I get a feeling there was part of Bill's lab we never got to see, ran by child labor even.

Probably the scariest was Slim Goodbody, the PeeWee Herman of science. He was so naked most of the time he didn't even have skin. Talking about the human body would often cause him to display jazz hands. Imagine driving from New York to LA with this guy in the passenger's seat. Thankfully he didn't hang around too many kids, but preferred puppets and robots instead, so I guess he's a plushy.

Then there was Beakman's world, which appeared to be the result of a bad batch of LSD. Beakman lived in an insane bachelor pad turned into a makeshift laboratory and only made friends with schizophrenics. He either screamed or sang everything he ever said, and was delighted to answer softball science questions from kids like "how does hair grow?". He would then launch into an erratic attention deficit explanation to inflate his ego like some twisted cartoon character. One wonders what Beakman's world looked like at 2am on a Saturday night.

Bottom line is all these science guys seem to have a serious screw loose. I don't see how they can be trusted around children. But then again, I don't have much confidence in Barney, Captain kangaroo, or Mugruff the Crime dog either. Hell, even Thomas the Tank Engine sounds like a porno actors name to me.

I ran into this video on youtube.. The experiment isn't what intrigued me. It was how weird the dude on the left is lol.. I'd be scared to be by him if I was a kid.

:36.. Dude on the right is like STFU dude..
1:10.. I'll just hold your hand..
1:21-1:23 I'll just sneak back here and grab you.. Don't freak out.
