How This Cyclist Hit 184MPH and Set the World Record
Human terminal velocity is around 120mph when falling in breathable altitudes in a belly-down (flat) position. Pulling in your limbs will get you closer to 200mph, which is roughly what a peregrine falcon hits in its dive and in the ballpark of what a .30-06 round in freefall (ie, after being fired straight up) would reach. Professional speed skydivers fly head-down and reach 330mph. The higher you start, the lower air density and thus higher terminal velocity you get. Felix Baumgartner jumped from 128,000 feet and reached 840mph.

Blind French Boy Sings B.B. King's Everyday I Have the Blues
From http://aveugles.org/felix-impressionne/ this was filmed at the summer camp of the Fondation des Aveugles du Québec (Quebec Foundation for the Blind). (and therefore *canada)
Felix was born 3 months premature and his retinas detached due to oxygen toxicity at birth, and at first they were unsure if he would ever talk... so his family is very happy that he has turned out to have such a talent for music.
Felix loves BB King, of course, but also Les Colocs, Bernard Adamus, Stromae, Robert Johnson and Eddie Lang. He takes advantage of the summer camps to bring his guitar and put on a show.
It also says some other stuff about how the camp provides opportunities for blind children like Felix, and they hope he continues to flourish through music.

Sea otter jumps on a boat to escape killer whales
Thumbnail kind of looks like the space jump by Felix (the small one) of course the larger one looks like someone's pet seal that they took fishing that one time...
Disney buy Lucasfilm for $4.05bn. Star Wars Ep. 7 for 2015 (Cinema Talk Post)
I saw the discussion of Oswald, but I don't think that's what the increasingly fuzzy memory was about. In large part because Oswald -was- created by one of Disney's employees. I suppose it's possible that I completely inverted the issue over the course of a few years, but I hope not. Call it ego if you will, but I like to believe I keep at least the general idea correct.

You may be thinking of "Oswald the Rabbit"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbit
Mickey Mouse was created early in 1928 on a train ride from New York to Los Angeles as Walt was returning with his wife from a business meeting at which he lost the copyright of his cartoon, Oswald the Rabbit. Walt spent the train ride thinking up a little mouse in red velvet pants and named him “Mortimer,” but by the time the ride was over, had changed his name to “Mickey.”
Oswald was also a knockoff of many cartoon characters of the time, most notably Felix the Cat.

Disney's biggest selling features, like Mickey Mouse and the Lion King, were clearly stolen from other artist's work.
You're definitely right about The Lion King, but what was Mickey Mouse stolen from? The only character I can think of is Oswald, but that was a Disney creation as well.
(and I think Star Wars should be just fine at Disney -- it's hard to argue that they've done anything but a bang-up job with Marvel's cinematic output, and presumably they'll put the same thought and care into future Star Wars films)
You may be right...there was a toy that some claim Mortimer/Mickey was copied from, but that's not what I was remembering. Sadly, I cannot find any reference to what I thought I remembered, so I'll have to drop Mickey as an example.
However, few of Disney's big films were original stories, he had a penchant for taking public domain IP and using it (The Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Anderson for example)...then, as we all know, buying politicians to make sure that his own copyrights would never expire. Still a form of theft, but not quite as severe.
Bottom line, it's not a company I care to patronize...but Star Wars is not a property I care about either, so it's a fairly moot point to me.
