6 Mickey Mouse facts you probably didn't knowBy Kendall Trammell, CNN / www.cnn.com/profiles/kendall-trammell Sat November 18, 2017 Editor's Note: "This year is Mickey Mouse's 89th birthday."
(CNN)Most parents would never let rodents near their kids -- unless, of course, it's Mickey Mouse. Here are six facts about the world's most iconic critter. 1. He started off as a rabbitBefore Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, he made Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But in a dispute with his business partner at Universal, Disney lost the rights to Oswald. The loss of his first character inspired the birth of the Mouse. If you look at the two characters, you can see the resemblance. Red shorts, big ears and wide eyes sound familiar? 2. He's married to MinnieYes, married. While there was never a wedding in any film, Disney decided in the studio that the two mice already were happily hitched. Like any loving couple would want, Mickey and Minnie shared their big screen debut together in "Steamboat Willie" in 1928. Every year on November 18, they get to celebrate their birthdays together. How romantic is that? 3. He's silent for 8 films and then exclaims, 'Hot dogs!'Mickey Mouse is clearly a huge fan of hot dogs. He chose to reveal that to the world in 1929 in his ninth film, "The Karnival Kid," and even did a hot dog dance. Sure, he had laughed and squealed before, but he didn't show us he could utter words until this film. 4. His magic turned kids into starsRemember how Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake got their big career breaks? Of course, the magic of the Mouse had something to do with their success. The child sensations starred in the revival of the 1950's "Mickey Mouse Club." 5. He doesn't wear white gloves for fashionMickey's white gloves actually help distinguish his hands from the rest of his body. The first time we see him in the famous accessory is in the cartoon, "The Opry House," in 1929. 6. He's frequently a write-in candidate in electionsUnfortunately, votes for Mickey Mouse usually end up in the trash, along with those for Donald Duck. Voters are allowed to dream big though, right? www.cnn.com/2017/11/18/entertainment/mickey-mouse-fun-facts-trivia-trnd/index.html?sr=twCNN111817mickey-mouse-fun-facts-trivia-trnd0116PMStoryGal

io9.gizmodo.com/on-walt-disneys-birthday-were-reminded-of-the-speech-h-1821031341?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_twitter&utm_source=io9_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow On Walt Disney's Birthday, We're Reminded of the Speech He Made at the Opening of Disneylandby Germain Lussier / kinja.com/germainlussier12-5-2017 Image: Google Images On December 5, 1901, Walt Disney was born. And yes, the late mogul was a complicated man from another era, with many *bleep traits about him. For the most part, though, what he brought to this world was magical and so far-reaching it’s hard to even fathom. Disney’s impact can be felt almost everywhere in American culture, from obvious places like filmmaking and television, to less obvious places like economic growth and community development. His impact on this country, and the world, is impossible to quantify. So, with 2017 coming to a close, and reflecting on Disney’s birthday, I immediately recalled Disney’s speech at the opening of Disneyland in 1955. It was the day a dreammaker got to fulfill a personal dream and open his very own theme park. And that day, his message of hope and the promise of somewhere to escape became kind of the ultimate snapshot of Disney. It’s a timeless piece of history. Here’s the dedication speech. To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past…and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. Happy birthday Walt, thanks for everything.io9.gizmodo.com/on-walt-disneys-birthday-were-reminded-of-the-speech-h-1821031341?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_twitter&utm_source=io9_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

Thanks Auntym. Can't believe I hit the big five oh. It seems like just yesterday I was only in my 40s. I guess this means I am officially over the hill. Now I get to start picking up speed.

Ha! I haven't aged with perfection so far and don't plan to start now. When I finally get to the bottom of the hill I'm going to crash and burn and be a mangled heap. By the time I die everybody is going to know that I lived!

World's oldest cat celebrates 30th birthdayBy Tom Bevan, SWNS | Fox News June 2, 2018
Michele Foster got Rubble as a kitten on her 20th birthday in May 1988. (SWNS)
A British cat has been hailed as the oldest in the world - after celebrating its 30th birthday.
The ageing feline- named Rubble - has been with owner Michele Foster since she got him as a kitten on her 20th birthday May 1988. The pair have been inseparable ever since and Rubble has now matched the age of the last world record holder.
Rubble celebrated its milestone with a party at his local vets where he was treated to some of his favorite cat food and a free check-up. And his incredible longevity is put down to the fact that Michele never had her own children and pampers him like her child.
Michele, 50, said that despite possibly now owning the world's oldest cat she had never wanted to go down the record route as she didn't want Rubble turning into a celebrity. But she said she was still extremely proud of her cat's achievements.
"I was lonely living on my own so got him in as a kitten. It was in May 1988." (SWNS)
She said: "He's a lovely cat, although he has got a little grumpy in his old age. I got him just before my 20th birthday when he was a kitten. Rubble suffers from high blood pressure so he needs regular medication and City Vets have been a huge help in keeping him healthy."
The previous oldest living in the Britain - Nutmeg from Tyne and Wear - died last September. Rubble is now the same age as Scooter, a Siamese Texas, named as a record breaker at the age of 30 by the Guinness Book of World - but later died.The oldest cat ever according to the record books is Creme Puff who was born on August 3, 1967, and lived until August 6, 2005 – an amazing 38 years and three days.
