It would have been Jim Henson's 72nd birthday today.

Behind the cut, two videos that you shouldn't watch if you're in a place where either laughing out loud or getting teary-eyed is a problem.



Part 1:

Part 2:

The same poster has put up many other parts of the memorial service, too.

A true original, that man.

A colleague of mine named a brand-new crustacean they discovered "jim hensoni" because "he was a creator of beautiful fuzzy things".

Our journal had to approve names for new species and this one was unanimous. :)

Thanks for these.

Also, you icon rocks. I so love Derek Jacobi and Henry V is one of my favorite movies!

Wow. That was awesome. Thank you very much.

"The Muppet Movie" is one of our all-time favorites around here. It's hard to believe he's really gone.

Aww. Thanks for posting these. (The well-dressed men squawking like chickens made my day.)

Thank you! It was really great, getting to see that.
