“I know scientifically I’m not being eaten by a gorilla”

Over on , David Brower summarises yesterday’s testimony at the Floyd Landis hearing:

Which is more likely, that Landis has this complicated doping regime contradicting known chemistry, or that LNDD is systematically messing up measurements…?

With the burden flipped, USADA must prove that LNDD is not the reincarnation of Muppet Laboratories.

Now, that’s funny, although it’s unlikely anybody at LNND in Chatenay-Malabry, Paris, would concur. Incidentally, ‘malabry’ is derived from a phrase meaning ’spoiled ground,’ something I mentioned on the Floyd Landis petition last August.

The Muppet Labs chief scientist was Dr. Honeydew. Here he is in action with every cyclist’s favourite energy food, bananas:

But perhaps the Muppet Labs episode that best sums up the current see-no-evil, hear-no-evil saga is this one:

“Dr. Honeydew shows off his latest invention, a gorilla detector, which is devised to sound a warning whenever a gorilla approaches. During the demonstration, a gorilla arrives…and proceeds to smash the equipment. Dr. Honeydew steadfastly refuses to believe that the creature is a gorilla, however, since the detector hasn’t gone off.”
