This has led to phrases (and variants of) "You let the smoke out!", "There's too many angry pixies running through the circuit!", "The magic smoke is escaping." or "I think you set your power supply too high; there is magic smoke coming from that resistor!" as euphemisms for the destruction of a component by overheating.

This list of fictional rodents is subsidiary to the list of fictional animals and covers all rodents, including beavers, mice, chipmunks, gophers, guinea pigs, hamsters, marmots, prairie dogs, porcupines and squirrels, as well as extinct or prehistoric species. Rodents, particularly rats and mice, feature in literature, myth and legend. The North American Salish people have an epic tale in which the Beaver, rejected by Frog Woman, sings a rain-power song that results in a disastrous flood.[1]

Mickey Mouse, the cheerful, anthropomorphic cartoon character, was a tremendous success for The Walt Disney Company in 1928.[2] Mice feature in some of Beatrix Potter's small books, including The Tale of Two Bad Mice (1904), The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse (1910), The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse (1918), and The Tailor of Gloucester(1903), which last was described by J. R. R. Tolkien as perhaps the nearest to his idea of a fairy story, the rest being "beast-fables".[3] Among Aesop's Fables are The Frog and the Mouse and The Lion and the Mouse.[4]

Orangey (credited under various names) had a prolific career in film and television in the 1950s and early 1960s and was the only cat to win two PATSY Awards (Picture Animal Top Star of the Year, an animal actor's version of an Oscar), the first for the title role in Rhubarb (1951),[4] a story about a cat who inherits a fortune, and the second for his portrayal of "Cat" in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961).[4] For this film Orangey won the 1962 PATSY Award for his portrayal of "the poor slob without a name." He has also been credited as the cat Mouschi in the film adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank (1959).[1] In that film, he nearly reveals the Jews' hiding place, and later becomes its only escapee. The cat was credited as the family pet, "Butch," in the film The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), in which he is mistakenly assumed to have eaten the title character.

According to Sam Wasson, author of 5th Avenue, 5AM: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman, Inn said Orangey was "a real New York type cat, just what we want. In no time at all I'm going to make a method, or Lee Strasberg type, cat out of him."[4]

Daniel I. Russell, later governor of North Carolina during the Wilmington Race Riot, presided over the 1872 district case. Witnesses for the defense included Linkhaw, and witnesses for the prosecution included Linkhaw’s preacher, Neill Ray. After hearing as evidence Linkhaw’s fervent yet awful hymn singing, Russell fined the good Methodist a penny for disturbing the peace.

Aackosoft went bankrupt in 1988, after which poo poo!, alongside other Aackosoft titles, were re-published by Premium III Software Distribution and developed by Eurosoft (a former label of Aackosoft) in the same year.[5] Premium III Software Distribution released the 30 MSX Hits compilation in 1988, including Oh poo poo! as part of its lineup.[5] According to Dutch gaming magazine MSX-DOS Computer Magazine, after Aackosoft went bankrupt in 1988, their intellectual property was transferred to a company called Methodic Solutions, and all previous MSX Aackosoft titles were re-published by Premium III Software Distribution and developed by Eurosoft, both separately and in a compilation titled 30 MSX Hits.[5]

The 1988 30 MSX Hits compilation release of Oh poo poo! offers MSX2[a] compatibility.[1][2] All MSX releases of Oh poo poo!, poo poo! and Oh No! are cassette releases, except for the 30 MSX Hits release, which had both cassette and floppy disk releases.[1][2]

The origin of the "Cool S" is unclear.[8] A similar S was derived from the symbols of an ancient Dacian solar cult. It was called “Carligul Ciobanului”, meaning “Shepherd’s Hook” and represented bringing back something that was lost.[9] In Latvia, the symbol was called Zalktis and represented a serpent goddess.[10] The ouroboros, which dates back to ancient Egypt and was used as a symbol of gnosticism and alchemy, was sometimes drawn with a loop to resemble the cool S.

During the Middle Ages, a strikingly close symbol became a kilim motif. Possibly related to the aforementioned Dacian symbol or the ouroboros, it was called the çengel and was supposed to destroy the evil eye.[11] The çengel was drawn with three pairs of dots or vertical lines connected much like the Cool S, but the bottom left and top right ones connected sideways, not diagonally. This is a possible explanation for the symbol’s appearance on an Anatolian rug in The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1533. However, in that painting the S may also be denoting "God Almighty".[12] A similar-looking S also appears in the 1890 book Mechanical Graphics.[2]
