There’s a ton of Muppet info online. For instance, there’s a Muppet wiki. From the site:

Muppet Wiki is a collaborative project to create an encyclopedia for everything related to Jim Henson and the Muppets. The Wiki format allows anyone to create or edit any article, so we can all work together to create a comprehensive database for Muppet fans. Check out our Muppet Wiki FAQ to help you get started!

Don’t forget to check out the Muppets at Wikipedia.

Of course, the Muppets home at Disney is lots of fun, where they of course have a shop full of official Muppet merchandise, along with screen savers, wallpaper, AIM icons, and lots more.
