The Muppets’ Beaker visits 10 historic moments
Douglas Charles 
There are moments in history that capture the hearts and minds of people the world over. Moments like the the first man landing on the moon, Ronald Reagan being shot, the Space Shuttle exploding… You remember where you were if you were alive when those things happened. But as we all know, Muppets make everything, even historic moments, just that much more special, and no Muppet makes things more special than Beaker.
You know Beaker, the real genius behind all of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew’s experiments. Don’t let the fact that he’s been blown up and electrocuted fool you, the guy is a whiz. Keep in mind that he was the one who tested a wish machine and made model Petra Nemcova appear and then teleported himself away with her. Yep… that Beaker has got it going on. So with his teleportation skills surely finely tuned by now I think that this is what it would have looked like had our favorite scientist assistant gone back in time to make these moments in history even more… momentous.
