Today is the 660th anniversary of the battle of Crécy, wherein the French got their collective ass handed over to them by Welsh archery, suffering a humiliating defeat and going on to start the appropriately named Hundred Years’ War (and you thought Iraq was dragging on).

Today is also the 26th anniversary of Tex Avery‘s untimely death, to the greatest relief of talking ducks and horny wolves the world over.

I’m pretty sure something else happened on that day, but I just can’t remember what.

I think I may have solved two mysteries at once.

A clue?

It’s small, got round ears and no longer scurries above my ceiling

Also, it doesn’t pay rent.

Any suggestion on Disney-sanctionned ways of ridding one’s home of uninvited critters? that doesn’t involve camping out in the middle of the leaving room day and night, flashlight and hammer in hand?
