Extra trivia for yah, I just thought this was neat:
Theodore Kermit Scott Jr. was an American and professor of philosophy and also happened to be the childhood friend of Muppets creator, Jim Henson.
Kermit Scott grew up in Mississippi right alongside Jim Henson. They were said to have been close friends who spent a lot of time at the creek.
Henson eventually moved away from his hometown and lost contact with Scott. It was not until years later that Scott learned Henson had named one of his most famous Muppets, Kermit the Frog, after his childhood friend. Scott was reportedly "delighted" but never sought to gain publicity from the connection.
