Which on the subject of Yoda, I've noticed a ton of people who think that Jim Henson is Yoda's performer...oft-times he is included in the big list of Jim's so called "wide range"...

Well, we know that Jim helped create Yoda, and was originally offered the part, but he was too busy with his own projects to do so, and offered Frank as an alternative.

And that too brings to mind how voices start sounding the same after a while (as just previously mentioned), like Caroll has pointed out Yoda sounds similar to Grover, and we can attest there are similarities in Kermit and Ernie's voices, in Fozzie and Bert's voices, in Rowlf and Dr. Teeth's voices, etc... I've said many times before, it seems like whenever Frank plays a one-shot, random AM/Whatnot character, he almost always seems to use a Bert/Fozzie-esque voice for that character.

I can't believe the Veggie Monster thing is still going on. In fact, I remember one of my friends telling me that they replaced Cookie with Fruit Monster. Of course, being a Muppet fan, I thought he was crazy, so I asked him what "Fruit Monster" looked like. He said Fruit Monster looked like a bag of weed...

Er.... yeah.... alright then... um... wow...
