Name your poison Sherlock

[MartyMuppets]

Did anyone ever think it strange that Sherlock Hemlock's second name is actually the name of a dangerous poison. Pardon me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that hemlock is a poison.
I remember when I was young what the deal was with his name though of course to any kid not knowing what hemlock is even though if they were old enough to understand, it would be nothing but an unusual name for a muppet.
So did any of you ever take time to wonder personally?

Not really, but Hemlock is a type of herb that is deadly poisonous to humans and animals alike. Sometimes it was boiled down to use as a tinture for wounds. But if injested internally it was basically cause you to die, by burning your insides, if I remember right.

And...I didn't really think of that for Sherlock Hemlock before. They might just have picked that name cause it rhymed.
