   It's Mickey Mouse's birthday! Walt Disney released Steamboat Willie today in 1928. The simple cartoon became the benchmark for animation of the time and sparked the success of the Disney company.

   The first-ever comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson, was published today in 1985. Based on a boy and his stuffed-toy tiger, the strip transcended jokes and invited the reader to ponder deeper questions about the world.

   Today in Strangeness:

   Legend has it that on this day in 1307, William Tell shot the apple off his son's head. He'd been ordered to do this as punishment for disrespecting an authority figure. On November 18, 1978, more than 900 people died in Jonestown, Guyana after cult leader Jim Jones convinced them to drink cyanide-laced grape punch.
