The Alternative FAQ.
Got a question that's bugging you? Had one of those heated discussions in the pub about whether the Clangers' noise was made by a swanee whistle or not? (It was, by the way) Email Me! If I like the question, I will endeavour to find the answer and add it to the FAQ.
To get the ball rolling...
- 1. Who are the two old guys in the balcony on The Muppets?
- 2. How long is a piece of string?
- 3. Do Penguins Have Knees?
1. Who are the two old guys in the balcony on The Muppets?
Statler and Waldorf. Statler is the taller, thinner one sitting on the right as we look at them in their box. Waldorf's wife is named Astoria. They are all named after old New York hotels.

2. How long is a piece of string?
Exactly twice as long as from the middle to one of its ends.

3. Do Penguins Have Knees? (with thanks to Watson for the question)
Yes. Penguins appear to have very short legs and no knees because only the lower leg is externally visible. Their knees and upper legs are feather covered, hiding them from view. This also means that penguins never get cold knees!
