One of the jokes played in 'Eureka' on Feynman's Day (May 11) this year had
Global Dynamics office drone Larry as the target. He was left with a
high-pitched squeal of a voice. Zane Donovan told him to relax, that he would
be "de-Beakered" in a few days.
In Toobworld, puppets are alive (for the most part.) They are spirit
beings who take on the characteristics of the shells they inhabit. So Kermit
would be a frog for all intents and purposes. Chairy would be a chair; Miss
Piggy would be a pig; the citizens of 'Lidsville' would all be hats.
(Some characters we know to be portrayed by puppets are not - 'Alf' and
Rigel of 'Farscape', for example.)
As for Beaker? He's a puppet shaped to look like a science nerd.
Zane may have known about Beaker if the Muppet Labs employee was ever
invited to be an intern at Global Dynamics.
Or maybe Zane saw Beaker on 'Muppets Tonite!' (That was a TV show,
available to be seen by everybody. 'The Muppet Show' took place in a theater -
to have seen anything that happened on that show, a Toobworldling would have had
to have been there in person at the theater.)
BCnU!

When the Muppets appeared on RAW, it was revealed that Beaker was the cousin of WWE wrestler Sheamus.
