The Muppets Trapped In A Museum Or Something Like That

August 26th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Even hard-hearted bastards like us can’t fail to be completely overjoyed at everything involving The Muppets. Even the rubbish films that came out in the ’90s bring a certain joy that no other selection of corpse-eyed cloth creatures with hands up their sphincters can match.

And so, it’s great to hear that The Muppets, notably the original Kermit the Frog puppet, has been donated to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington.

The muppet was donated by creator Jim Henson’s widow Jane, along with a bunch of other characters from the 1955 TV show Sam and Friends, a precursor to the famed Muppet Show.

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Haunted Radio in the Haunted Museum

June 20th, 2010 By Shawn Lindseth

Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.

Ghosts have been known to haunt a lot of things. Old houses, hotels and battlefields are among the most popular. They’ve been known to bedevil grave yards, dilapidated restaurants – and in just one recorded instance – the swollen balls of a silverback gorilla. Now that’s an episode of ghost hunters we’d actually watch.

Now we’re hearing a strange story out of Scotland about an old, old unplugged radio that’s picking up long dead radio transmissions.

Abba Fun-Fest To Hit Sweden

March 31st, 2009 By hecklerspray staff

Great news guys, Sweden's most famous export will soon have a museum in its honour.

No, there's not going to be an unusually-expensive beer museum, but an Abba one which will be opening in Stockholm in the near future. That's not because there is absolutely nothing else to do in Stockholm, but you have to admit that attracting middle-aged women and gay men in droves is a clever ploy to boost the tourist industry.
