Mickey Mouse is known as  "Topolino" in Italy Get 'em, Donald Duck!
 
It takes glass one  million years to decompose, which means it never wears out and can be  recycled an infinite amount of times! Another recycling thought: do you think we could knit a sweater from Fedie's afro hair? And give it to Michelle?

Oops. I just realized. I think Maya might be subscribed to me... so she automatically gets all of these. Oh, well. While I'm at it, might as well finish off.

Don't ask; just read. This from our Dragon Rp on the Warriors Forum.
 
Fedie: Graythorn pointed at the crumpled mass of pink, "your unicorn died."
Other Roleplayer: Ukla saw Grockle fly in on his unicorn, that died, "Hey!" she called to him, "can we cook that up and eat it?"
Fedie: "I doubt it," graythorn said. "those things give me indigestion"
OP: Ukla blinked, "You've... eaten a unicorn before?"
Fedie: "No, why do you ask?" he responded. [....he's a little out of it]
OP: "...No reason," Ukla mumbled.
