For as long as I can remember, I've believed that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen when he died, in the hopes that some wonderful scientist of the future could microwave him back to life so he could build a few more theme parks and make a sequel to the Little Mermaid.  It turns out my entire life is based on a lie.  Snopes and Straight Dope agree that Disney was cremated and buried in Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks in Glendale, CA.  (via Twitter/mental_floss)
