ST MICKEY FRESCO
The Daily Telegraph in London is reporting that "a medieval fresco featuring a rodent with an uncanny resemblance to Mickey Mouse has been uncovered in an Austrian church." The Fresco in Malta depicts the mouse kneeling in front of St. Christopher.

"The similarity to Mickey Mouse is so astounding that Disney could lose its world-wide copyright," said Siggi Neuschitzer, the manager of the local tourism office. He added, "This fresco proves that Mickey Mouse is a true Austrian and was not born in Hollywood."

I looked at the picture posted on ananova.com and I think they'll have a hard time making their trademark case. But I'm sure it will be good for the local economy either way.

Whatever.
