My litteralibral colleague Daedalus informs me that the scientific question currently concerning the boffins at So far it has emerged that 'R', although heavy, is by no means the heaviest member of the alphabet, since an 'S' will balance it with a shorter distance to the fulcrum (exp. 15). One should not leap to the conclusion that weight is correlated with position in the alphabet; 'T' is comparatively easy to lift (exps. 10, 11, 12).
'U' is in fact one of the lighter letters, and Daedalus hopes to use this fact to generate electricity.
This should be enough to convince the Frau Doktorin that the only reason I have been putting on weight lately is because of the 'SUFFERIN' SASSAFRAS' slogan on my currently-favourite t-shirt.

You really need to pay your employees better, that one's practically skin and bones.
I think it's oddly self-referential that they label the tv "TV". I mean, can't you tell by watching it?

The workshop does look strangely abandoned. One minute everyone's hard at work, assembling the statue in Fig. 1, heaving at ropes, adjusting the balance; the next minute they're all "OMFG it's time for Dancing With The Stars", and they're all off to the tea room where the TV is.
We are Artistes, Herr Doktor and won't be wage slaves
Does the NZ government give you tax credits for hiring fachans?
perhaps it is a Workshop of Telescopes.
