Photo shows Disney fans used to be creepy

Thank goodness we're all normal now. BURBANK, CA -- A 1930's era photograph of Mickey Mouse Club members found in the Disney archives shows one thing very clearly: Disney fans used to be super-creepy. Just look at that photo. Seriously, look at it. A sizeable percentage of that group turned into serial killers, we're guessing. Or Cast Member Leads. Thankfully, Disney obsession no longer results in creepy, weird behavior, or puts us outside of societal norms. Now please excuse me while I put on ...

Trillions were lost as the world marketplace came to a standstill. UNCLE WALT'S INSIDER H.Q., SVALBARD -- They're calling it the "Lost Tuesday." Flights were canceled. Public transportation ground to a halt. World stock markets failed to open, and online trading was minimal. Busy financial districts and downtown economic centers became ghost towns.
