SPOOKY COINCIDENCE CORNER! Just after I wrote the last feature about my Top Five favourite Children's Programmes, I stumbled upon a pretty damn ace feature on Metafilter discussing 20 things you probably never knew about the Muppets.
For example, did you know that Miss Piggy is from Iowa? Or that Gonzo is sexually attracted to chickens? Or that in Pakistan, Oscar the Grouch goes by the name of Akhtar and lives in an oil barrel?
My favourite fact of the lot? That Count Von Count is apparently quite the ladies' man, who has been linked to Countess von Backward, (who, surprisingly enough, loves to count backwards); Countess Dahling von Dahling and the enigmatic "Lady Two". Obviously, the way to a Muppet womans' heart lies in a strong knowledge of rudimentary Mathematics and maniacal laughter.
