Thursday February 19, 2009
mickey mouseDid you know that the image of Mickey Mouse is the most reproduced in the world? Over 7,500 items bear his likeness. Jesus is number two, and Elvis is number three. Mickey Mouse's likeness was conceived by Walt Disney himself, who you might be surprised to find out was also an inventor. Walt Disney was granted U.S. patent 2,201,689 for his "art of animation" camera on May 1, 1940. Getty Images Photo: Mickey And Minnie Mouse Welcome Everyone To Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
