How Things Work has been explaining to viewers for over a dozen years how the most complicated things work — perpetual motion, atomic energy, space shuttles. But do you know how Muppets work? This detailed explanation of how Muppets (the combination of “marionette” and “puppet,” coined by Jane Henson) work is pretty interesting. For over 50 years, Jim Henson’s creations have been amazing the world, so take a moment to see how they really work.

3M Canada hosted a design competition and the above are the winning entries, both from students of the Ontario College of Art and Design. The Scotch tape dispenser and post-it note dispensers were awarded the grand prize of actually going into production for the 2010 line of office products. I am in awe at how simple, yet clever the tape dispenser design is. Bravo to the winners!
