False. Its appearance would have been literally impossible since the background outside the arena is actually a mattte painting!(see the 1994 documentary, "Ben Hur: The Making of an Epic").

False. His pet mouse served as inspiration for Mickey.

This is true when you give a point of observation. You might write "clockwise when viewed from north." Viewed from south, the same rotation is counterclockwise. In the same manner, if you have a transparent clock and stand behind it, the handles will seem to move counterclockwise.

Did you know Happy that the expression 'wet blanket' probably derives from the idea that throwing a wet blanket on a fire will deaden if not extinguish the fire?
