... that is the difference between true science and pseudo science.
Whereas a # of tootsie roll licks would depend on the length and width of the tongue and the enthusiasm of the err ... licker, which is not accounted for, I actually took a truly scientific approach of trial and error. I insisted that my son listen to a Sesame Street tape on the way to pre-school, over and over. We listenened to such Grover classics as "All alone" and "Fuzzy and blue", and of course my personal favorite "Rubber duckie" which is Ernie's song, but I got in the mood, you know ... after which a hypothesis was born. I then watched the closing credits of Ep. I. and saw that Yoda was actually a "Special guest star Frank Oz". I then proceeded to watch Sesame Street with my son in the evening (which I diligently recorded previously), and only after I saw that Grover really was Frank Oz too, I had my completely irrefutable proof and the satisfaction that finally, now I know everything.
On the Muppet Show he was. With C3PO, R2D2, and Mark Hammel he was with. On Sesame Street he ventured. A big jackass he made of himself he did. Look stupid he did do when talking about the alphabet. Not very wise is he.
Stupidity is the path to the dumb side it is.

There is actually a great blooper from Empire that everyone should see atleast once...

It happens on Dagobah. It occurs when Yoda shows up for the first time and Hammil does the, "I think we're being watched," and spins around quickly. Instead of Yoda being there, it's Piggy. Oz starts into Yoda's lines using Piggy's voice and puppet figuring he would get Hammil to crack up. Not so as Oz soon realizes as without skipping a beat, Hammil returns a perfect Kermit doing the lines he is s'pose to say to Yoda. In the end, it is Oz and the camera crew that end up cracking up and all you can hear is Oz laughing and Piggy's puppet jiggling...
I just saw the new Ep II trailer on tv... and I've downloaded it and watched it about 15+ times. YODA. He rules. YODA. squeals like a little kiddy and watches it again3
I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba,
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda.
S-O-D-A, soda.
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log.
I asked him his name, and in a raspy voice he said, "Yoda."
Y-O-D-A, Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green.
Oh, my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand.
Oh, my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Well, I left home just a week before,
And I've never ever been a Jedi before.
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course.
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force!"
Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben,
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
So I used the Force.
I picked up a box.
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head.
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said.
He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side,
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide."
Oh, my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed,
But remember, if you kill him then you'll be unemployed."
Oh, my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess,
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess.
But I know that I'll be coming back some day.
I'll be playing this part till I'm old and gray.
The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time,
With my Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
Yoda. Yo Yo Yo yo Yoda. Yo Yo Yo Yo Yoda.
