A few links things I found interesting:

How the Muppets were filmed outside before CGI. (via)

There’s growing evidence that wheels were invented by miners (to help haul out ore) in the Carpathian Mountains around 3900 BCE. (via)

“Nothing is untranslatable. Anything left untranslated is what you’ve decided doesn’t matter anyway.” (via janni)

That muppet video was really cool. I remember when I was a kid I saw some behind the scenes bit that showed the trick with the stool and the mirror, and that was when I first got interested in how effects were done.

Isn't it? Henson was always pushing the limits of live-action special effects, through puppets.
