Blog Guy, I saw some video of superstar Michael Phelps at Walt Disney World, but darn it, I couldn’t tell which one was him. Can you shed any light on this for me?
I don’t blame you for being confused. It isn’t easy to tell a superstar Olympic swimmer from a happy mouse in white gloves and a tuxedo. This is where our actual captions on the photos come in handy. As you’ll note below, we identify Phelps as (C) to show that he’s the one in the center.
This useful bit of extra information should help newspapers and magazines and websites the world over avoid misidentifying Mickey Mouse as the winner of eight gold medals. Likewise, the (C) also shows that swimmer Phelps is not Goofy. Goofy, the one on the left, I believe is a dimwitted dog, but then that raises age-old questions about what Pluto is.
