Did you know...
... that today is the birthday of Marvin Martian? This Looney
Tunes cartoons character made his debut in 1948's Haredevil
Hare. Because Bugs Bunny soon learned to outwit the blustery
Yosemite Sam, animation director Chuck Jones decided to create
the opposite type of character; one who was quiet and
soft-spoken, but whose actions were incredibly destructive and
legitimately dangerous. Fast fact: Marvin's likeness appears in
miniature on both the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars!

(Too late, I realized I should have named my cat Marvin instead of Cole; he has these big yellow eyes in a small black face!:D But Cole already knew his name, soooo)
