Do you ever think about partially homogenized milk, dear reader? I have. Once or twice. It's not a big deal. But it's not what today's fun fact is about.
Fun fact: Elmo is the only nonhuman to testify before Congress.

| You try looking this good while surrounded by Congress. |
It was the spring of 2002. No (literal) monster had ever been called before the Congress before, but Elmo had a freshly tailored suit and the perfect tie for the occasion.
 |
| Yes. I am partial to purple ties, but red really brings out his fur. |
Elmo spoke stirringly about music education in schools. Then this guy, who looks vaguely like one of the professors I had in college, whispered sweet nothings in the love of my life's ear.
 |
| Hot damn! |
The only weird part of the story? Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, also known as that guy who took bribes and went to prison and now wants to write books in the forest, invited Elmo to speak.
Anyway, I'm off to testify before the the House Agricultural Subcommittee on Livestock, Rural Development, and Credit. Happy Fun Fact Friday, dear reader!
