PS: Umm.. actually it will happen again in 12 hours if you did it in the morning the first time. You don't have to wait a thousand years either, just a hundred.

Kind of sorry I didn't know about 01:02:03 04/05/06. I would get a screen shot of my desktop clock or something. Suppose I could reset it. $:-\$

Umm...

I am having trouble defining what you mean by "present". Do you mean that they appear in the movie, or that the movie takes place with the main character spending all their time in the presence of their parents. If the later than I would argue that they spent almost no time with their parents in Peter Pan, they are all in Neverland, and that the puppies are all stolen from their parents and spend weeks away before Pongo finds and rescues them in 101 Dalmations.

Sleeping Beauty - Aurora's parents are still alive at the end. She is separated from them to protect her, but they are together in the end.

Mulan - Mulan's parents are still alive at the end as well. She leaves to go to war, but then Wendy, John, and Michael all leave to go to Neverland and you say their parents are present so...

Hercules - Hercules is stolen from his parents, but returns to them at the end, and both of his adoptive parents are still alive at the end as well.

Lady and the Tramp - This would depend on if you consider Jim Dear and Darling as Lady's parents or her owners. They do have a child and are parents at the end of the movie. $:-\$

Actually, he was raised by wolves. Bagheera was like their next door neighbor and, in the Disney adaptation, Baloo doesn't even come into the picture until Mowgli is a kid, at least, so they're like buddies.

The verb "cleave" is the only word in the English langauge that means two things of opposite meaning. It can refer to the act of clinging, adhering, or sticking. It can also refer to the act of splitting, cutting, or separating.

Did you know that the Siamese cat is actually Asian in origin?

It''s true! Siamese cats originated in the Kingdom of Siam now known as Thailand. Originally they could only be owned by Buddhist Monks and the country's royalty. But in the 1800's the royal family started giving them to European dignitaries. And the world soon fell in love with the magnificent and very vocal felines.

- The rumor that "orange" rhymes with no other word is incorrect. Orange rhymes with Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a sac where spores are made). "Silver" has the same rumor going for it, but it actually rhymes with Wilver (a nickname) and chilver (a ewe lamb).

I just wanted to repost this one because of how awesome it is.
