At Duke University biologist and part time cover singer of classic '50/'60's tunes, the versatile Fred 'Duke of Earl' Ninjy knew from earlier work that, unlike the Darling Underwing, the horn-billed tobacco caterpillars can't hold their drink or be trusted near a salad. Only when they start a molt and have locused the surrounding countryside and loaded on that all critical 140.8lb times more weight, can they shed their exoskeletons smallecus. But he and other scientists were baffled and still didn't understand how they attended Weight Watcher weigh-ins when the gym's locked and shuttered? In a hot new study, Ninjy's multi tasky grad student Vivi Callier ( backing vocals and roady) said, "Forget about DD tubsters. The mystery resides elsewhere!"

And as sure as a dog will mistake you for a lampost if you don't move around once in a while; when Viv measured the size of the caterpillar's respiratory system, guess what? She found that the tracheal tubing had a puncture and if not remedied, would eventually lead to falling off bikes, rickets and Jeff Goldblum syndrome.
