Baby Huey is a gigantic and naïve duckling cartoon character. He was created by Martin Taras for Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios, and became a Paramount cartoon star during the 1950s. Although created by Famous for its animated cartoons, Huey first appeared in Quack a Doodle Doo, a Noveltoon theatrical short in 1949.
Baby Huey had a sidekick in later comics. This was his slow-thinking cousin, whom he referred to as Cousin Dimwit. Dimwit was characterized as a fairly skinny duck in an oversized red woolen sweater, with sleeves that ran over his hands and hung down several inches.
U.S. President Bill Clinton in a 1993 conversation cited his similarities to Baby Huey: "I'm a lot like Baby Huey. I'm fat. I'm ugly. But if you push me down, I keep coming back."

How about "Baby Huey" for today quiz?
I believe that chunky duck came in between my childhood and that of my kids. Recently, I was sorting out their books, and found a few of the big duck.
I just realized, a few pounds lighter, and the reversal of letters in the name, and you have the nephew of Donald!
PS: My new neighbors (across the street) arrived here from Israel in late summer. The parents speak limited English, but the kids, none at all. I sent over a bag of picture books for the kids to use and keep, and have been rewarded by big smiles and waves in the morning, while getting my kids off to school!
Books have magic in between their pages...
PPS: Welcome back MAM!!

Oh god, Baby Huey brings back the MOST PAINFUL memories of
all. That was my nickname in sixth grade, when I was a
latch-key kid indulging in after school comfort-food binges,
and to add to my pre-pubescent agony, my mother had my hair
cut short. Now Huey is the norm and wouldn't draw a first
glance at Walmart. Life imitates art, and we are all trapped
in the downward spiral.

Oh, that be Baby Hughie. Yes I remember him, yes I read the comic books. What? No. No, I didn't enjoy them. I don't know why I read them. Don't ask. At least those duck wore pants.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and the late former first lady Betty Ford were among nine inductees honored today at the 24th Women's Hall of Fame ceremony.
The award, which showcases the achievements and lives of American women in the arts, athletics, business, education, government, humanities, philanthropy and science, is hosted biennually in Seneca Falls, N.Y., where the nation's first known women's rights convention was held in 1848.
Pelosi recognized her colleagues' contributions and roles in passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Affordable Care Act, joking that "Being a woman is no longer a pre-existing medical condition."
Former Secretary of State and 2005 Hall inductee, Hillary Clinton, congratulated this year's inductees in a video message, paying special respects to former first lady Betty Ford whom Clinton described as "truly a great American and an inspiration."
Ford, who died in 2011, was introduced by friend and former first lady Rosalynn Carter, also a former Hall inductee.

Two chimpanzees who made history for learning to communicate using American Sign Language are settling into their new home at the Fauna Foundation sanctuary on Montreal's South Shore.
Tatu and Loulis were moved from the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) - the research facility at Central Washington University where they lived for more than three decades - to the Quebec sanctuary five weeks ago.
Tatu, 37, was born at the Institute for Primate Studies in Oklahoma and was moved to the CHCI in 1981. She is one of the first chimpanzees to become proficient in American Sign Language, along with Loulis' adoptive mother, Washoe.
Loulis, 35, acquired sign language from Washoe, learning his first sign after only eight days in her presence - making him a star in his own right.
"He is the first non-human to acquire a human language from another non-human, which makes him very, very special," said Meg Mas, a caregiver at the sanctuary. "He seems to know that."
A skeleton buried under a parking lot. A grotesque mummy head. A gourd encrusted with mysterious blood.
These three disturbing objects have something in common: All have been identified as belonging to long-dead kings, in part using DNA evidence. But despite DNA's reputation as a forensic smoking gun, only one - the skeleton - has escaped serious controversy.
The skeleton, widely accepted as the earthly remains of the English King Richard III, is a bright spot in the often-murky world of ancient DNA identification. Archaeologists identified the body based on multiple lines of evidence, from historical records to telltale battle wounds. On top of it all, the skeleton's DNA matched a living relative of the king's.
The tale of the head and the gourd, however, is not quite so straightforward. In 2010, a forensic analysis suggested the head belonged to French King Henry IV. DNA later linked the head to the blood in the gourd, leading researchers to identify the blood's owner as Henry's descendant, French King Louis XVI. Now, however, a second DNA analysis has thrown those findings into disarray, suggesting perhaps the head and the blood belong not to royalty, but to nobodies.
The cases reveal the controversy of using DNA to identify the long-dead. And they highlight the problems inherent in studying celebrity corpses: At what point can scientists be sure enough that a contested body part deserves a royal burial?

If you're searching for the magical elixir to cure a hangover, Chinese researchers may have found it. The solution: lemon-lime flavored soda Sprite. But if you prefer to skip the sweet stuff, soda water is a good alternative, findings showed.
After drinking, the body goes through two stages of a metabolic process to break down ethanol. First the liver metabolizes it into acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and then into acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Unlike acetaldehyde, acetate is considered harmless and may even be responsible for some of the positive health benefits of alcohol consumption. But exposing the body to acetaldehyde actually causes the symptoms of a hangover, including nausea and a pounding headache.
To see what beverages could help the body better metabolize alcohol, researchers at Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou analyzed 57 different drinks, including herbal infusions, teas, and carbonated beverages. The team measured their effects on ADH and ALDH, finding that each drink had a different effect.
Interestingly, some herbal teas actually slowed down the process, prolonging a hangover. But the best beverages were Xue bi, the Chinese version of Sprite, as well as soda water, which were found to speed the enzyme's process, shortening the body's exposure to ALDH. Still, before guzzling Sprite or soda water after a few too many, the team said that more research is needed to further support the evidence.
A Swiss Greenpeace activist in custody in Russia for scaling an oil rig to protest Arctic drilling is unbowed, saying in a letter published Sunday that Moscow's reaction showed the need for the stunt.
"The aggressive and unjust behaviour of the Russian government and of Gazprom shows how important it is that decisions on the Arctic and its future be taken by the global community," Marco Weber said in the letter published by Swiss newspapers Sonntagszeitung and Le Matin Dimanche.
"On September 18, I faced danger and the risk of imprisonment because I'm convinced that we have the power to bring change," Weber wrote on October 8 from his jail cell in the northern Russian city of Murmansk.
The activists, who hail from 18 countries, have been placed in pre-trial detention for two months and charged with piracy, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years.

Charlie Hunnam, who was set to play billionaire playboy Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation of the E L James novel, has dropped out of the project.
"The filmmakers of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey," Universal and Focus Features announced in a statement on Saturday.
Despite Hunnam's late exit, James Tweeted that she wishes the actor "all the best."
The "Fifty Shades" film, initially set to hit U.S. theaters in August 2014, will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, with Dakota Johnson in the lead role of Anastasia Steele.

A "high value" Henry Moore sculpture has been stolen from a Scottish park, police said Sunday, the latest of several thefts of the British artist's work in recent years.
The 1950 bronze, entitled "Standing Figure", was one of four Moore works in the Glenkiln Sculpture Park near Dumfries in southwest Scotland, alongside others by Auguste Rodin and Jacob Epstein.
Moore, who died in 1986 aged 88, was widely regarded as Britain's best 20th-century sculptor. A string of his giant bronzes have been targeted by thieves -- possibly for scrap metal value.
"Standing Figure", a 2.21-metre (seven feet, three inches) tall work, stood on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Dumfriesshire countryside.

What's worse than an airline losing a customer's dog? Sending an accidental email dismissing the mishap as being no big deal.
Air Canada is working to get the missing pooch crisis under control after its manager of corporate communications, Peter Fitzpatrick, fired off an email that was intended to be internal but actually reached the inbox of Maria Medina, a reporter from CBS-13 in Sacramento.
Upon hearing that the dog had escaped, Medina wrote to the PR firm representing Air Canada, according to the Toronto Star. The company's PR contact emailed Fitzpatrick for input on how to respond to Medina's questions.
Fitzpatrick wrote, "I think I would just ignore, it is local news doing a story on a lost dog. Their entire government is shut down and about to default and this is how the U.S. media spends its time." He intended the email to go to the PR contact. Instead it went to the reporter.
The dog, a 2-year-old greyhound named Larry, went missing from the San Francisco airport after an Air Canada employee let it out of its cage. As of Friday, people are still searching for the dog, according to the Star.
