Donal Bebek

If you're a 'Friends-a-holic', you should remember when Chandler asked this 'mind-boggling' yet funny question:

You know what's weird? Donald Duck never wore pants but whenever he comes out of the bathroom he always wraps a towel around his waist. What's that about?


Well, just now I got two versions of answer to that question. The first one is from Disney website, so let's call it the 'official' answer:
Donald puts a towel when he gets out of the shower to dry off! When he gets out of the shower he's pretty wet and doesn't want to drip water all over the bathroom floor.

The other version I got it from Yahoo! Answers and was chosen as the best answer by the asker:
It's very simple actually, dry feathers are fluffy. Wet feathers aren't. Fluffy equals good coverage. Wet feathers are not so good of coverage.

Haha, that's a very good one!



Speaking of Donald Duck, I used to subscribe the comic (Donal Bebek, Bahasa Indonesia version) since I was 10... I guess. But actually I already read it way before that. I remember the price was only Rp 400. The last time I checked, may be a year ago, the price was Rp 8000 something. The early Donal Bebek comic was in poor thin paper, including the cover, and each piece of paper contains one page in black and white and either one in color. The content was all the stories of Donald's life and sometimes plus additional stories of his cheapskate billionaire Uncle Scrooge (Paman Gober in Bahasa Indonesia version), the brilliant yet naive inventor Gyro (Lang Ling Lung), lovable Mickey Mouse (Miki Tikus), retarded Goofy (Gufi) and so on. The comic did make some improvements. Not long after I subscribed it, it came with additional features like readers' opinions, rewarded crossword puzzle and Donald Duck drawings a la readers. I used to solve the crossword puzzle in every comic issue and mailed the coupon-sticked postcards that contained the answers to the comic publisher, hoping to get the reward. And one day, a courier came to my house delivered a big wrapped box, addressed to my name. I won! I got the Donald Duck merchandise of stationaries. I was so happy that time, and bragged about my winning the next day in school, showed off my cute stationaries to my classmates.

Well, up until now, that was the only time I won such rewarded game.
