The Early Animated Films

"Any idiot that wants to make a couple of thousand drawings for a hundred feet of film is welcome to join the club." -Winsor McCay  

Popular lore has it that the 1927 movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first animated feature film. That's not true at all, and how many came before that depends on how you define "feature film" and how you define "animated." Let's take a good look into the history of animation in film.

The Royal Ocean Film Society shows us the various milestones of early cartoons and how they became the most imaginative motion pictures ever. They had to admit one mistake -the photograph of Earl Hurd is actually one of Frank Thomas. -via Boing Boing

Before electronic watches were common, mechanical watches were wound with a stem at the 3:00 position. They were always on the left wrist so you could reach the stem.

I'm right handed and have always worn my watch on that hand. And regardless of handedness, the fly on a pair of men's pants is always on the right hand side so it's going to be easier for anyone to zip it right handed.

More likely, the whole thing was a set-up and four separate tips were left with different members of the force to get them all out of the way for the evening and create doubt within the system.
