Muppet Fact #1037
The Hyalinobatrachium dianae, a Costa Rican species of glass frog discovered in 2015 bears a striking resemblance to Kermit the Frog. Brian Kubicki, the man who discovered the frog said this in relation to the media's comparisons to the real frog and the Muppet:
"Prior to the media making the link between Hyalinobatrachium dianae and Kermit the Frog I had no thought about the resemblance, but I can see where they came up with this idea that has created such a sensation with this newly described species. I am glad that this species has ended up getting so much international attention, and in doing so it is highlighting the amazing amphibians that are native to Costa Rica and the need to continue exploring and studying the country's amazing tropical forests.
The frog was named after Brian Kubicki's mother Janet Diana Kubicki, and the Roman goddess Diana.

Had a dream nightmare that Sesame street was on TV, but since I hadn't seen it since I was a kid Elmo had aged and was now referred to by other characters as "Adult Elmo".
It was very clearly just Elmo's tiny head sewn onto a red version of big bird's body and he didn't smile anymore.

Lately everyone’s been talking about Barbie like she was the greatest fashion Icon of the 20th century. It’s like I’ve woken up in some backward alternate universe where Miss Piggy doesn’t exist.

Lily the tiger cub loves to practice martial arts. Sometimes, she gets so excited doing martial arts that she breaks things.
