I know that making the biggest [fill in any food dish here] is a common publicity-seeking tradition, but since hummus isn't really a unitary item, like a hamburger or a pizza, this doesn't seem like that remarkable a feat. Just open up 23,000 one-pound containers of hummus and pile it all up!

I'm surprised Meredith didn't ask her to dance, not being confined by a Hot Seat or anything.

Search doesn't find it on this Bored, but I think the question might have appeared in a Bored quiz. I remembered this fact from a museum display of Walt's life and work at Disney's Hollywood Studios, just down the lane from where the old WWTBAM Play It! attraction was. <sigh>

I'm pretty sure that was asked at Play It!

Being a toonhead, I remembered it from waaaay back. And if you look at early drawings of Oswald, it's not a stretch to see the early Mickey there.

More interestingly, it came into play when NBC got the Sunday Night Football rights, and wanted the ABC/ESPN team of Al Michaels and John Madden to announce it as well. Part of the buyout to ABC (now owned by Disney) to get the duo included sending the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from Universal (which owns NBC), restoring the character back to the Disney fold.

Followup:



I'd also forgotten.... the person at Universal that kept Oswald from Disney when he jumped ship was a guy named Charles Mintz.

The "baddie" in the recent Disney/Pixar film Up was named Charles Muntz.

The similarity in names was quite intentional.

Do you think the plate prepared by the Lebanese looked any different?
