Though afraid, he single-handedly managed to fight off an entire civilization and escaped by befriending a robot plane. please keep all messages similar to my "little known fact". Comments AREN'T appreciated. Mod Edit: All comments will now be moved from this sacred thread If you have something about Ronald Mickey, ask me at school for permission ----------------------------------- naoki Sun Nov 23, 2003 2:24 pm ----------------------------------- Little Known Fact OTD (of the day): my comp sci teacher originated the smiley. When young, he worked at a hospital when he met an unfortunate fellow. This man had been scared by a chemical waste accident, which turned his skin yellow and removed all facial hair. It also gave him the uncanny ability to change his face in order to express his emotions (you see that devil face? he could do that). Thus, my teacher, when collaborating with Al Gore to make the Internet, decided to implement these "smilies" as a tribute to the fellow. Little Known Fact #2: Al Gore mentioned that when he thought up the Internet (cuz we all know it was him :P ), he mentioned a secret collaborator called Mr. Mickey. That was my comp sci teacher ----------------------------------- naoki Tue Nov 25, 2003 4:37 pm ----------------------------------- Update Little Known Fact OTD: my comp sci teacher was once recruited by the government to test out their new time machine in the 1970's. Upon his first visit, he wound up in 1660, where he met the discoverer of static electricity, Otto von Guericke. The man had invented a brilliant device to generate static electricity. He showed it to my comp sci teacher, who merely laughed and told him to pick up a balloon (uhh, let's assume they existed back in those days). He rubbed the inflated balloon across his long luxurious hair, and stuck it on a wall. Otto was shocked and amazed, and because of such a simple experiment, went crazy in a matter of days, killing his family in a static explosion. My comp sci teacher realized how much he affected history, and swore off long hair forever. Until this day, if his hair is any longer than 2 cm, he gets it shaved/burned/rubbed with a stone. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Tue Nov 25, 2003 7:12 pm Guess who ----------------------------------- Wh4T????/// NaOkI, j00 r teh suXX0r2!!!1 Having done what you didn't want me to do, allow me to digress; Another little-known fact about R. Mickey.... Turns out that Mr. Mickey was once the sidekick for Batman until that little Robin character came out....I guess the producers decided there was no place for an overweight guy with a massive frohawk on the show anymore. Well, at least he's come a long way since those days, cuz the head is shaved and he's down to a more human weight. Chew on that, guys. ------------------------------------------------------- void binaryTree () { cout
