The spikes you see on stars in some astronomical images are diffraction spikes caused by the supports that hold the secondary mirror.

That you're celebrating 90 years since your first motion picture debut means you're well past your public domain bedtime you fucking rat.

But because your handlers can't stand the thought of giving you up to the rest of the world means we'll probably have to suffer another 90 years without anything going into the public domain, least of all the stuff that you stole from it.

Fuck you, Mickey. Fuck you.

I had been living my life in ignorance of the weird and amusing fact that 'Little Oedipus/Oidipous was named after the swelling from the injuries to his feet and ankles ("swollen foot"). The word "oedema" (British English) or "edema" (American English) is from this same Greek word for swelling: οἴδημα, or oedēma.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus

also the English cognate of the "oedi-" part is "oat" (I guess because of the way that the grain part of the oat plant swells up?). so: Oedipus = Oatfoot
