31 Genius Facts about Jim Henson

(YouTube link)

Looks like we have a bonus episode of the mental_floss List Show this week! John Green returns to the hosting slot to talk about everyone’s favorite puppeteer, Jim Henson. He led a fascinating life, of course, and the things you don’t know about him are just as interesting as the public side we know from the Muppets in all their incarnations. Seriously, this video is more than 31 facts; it’s more like 31 stories about Jim Henson. And then he left us too early. Oh yeah, you can see that performance Green mentions at the end right here, but you'll need a handkerchief. -via Tastefully Offensive

So disapointed..
I'm expecting now the biggest STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. Anybody can slap a couple of slices on a wall, but building a real house with gingerbread is left to be seen. That woudl be a structural challenge...

Whats wrong with you guys. Yeah it would be awesome to see a STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. But this is just as hard to build. Your disappointed, your one of those critics that don't know anything, a writer, not an acual builder. I'l like to see you do this. You won't even last a second, won't even know what to make the door out of. So keep your comments to yourself....psh disappointed, I should smack you across the face for saying that.
