Happy 50th birthday rubber ducky. He made his first appearance on Sesame Street in 1970.
This is the 1974 Sesame Street January calendar page. You can see that it is Rubber Ducky's Birthday on January 13th.
This day became became National rubber Ducky Day.
Now I feel a nerdy challenge to draw a rubber ducky.

The rubber ducky is not just a check toy for toddlers. Even Queen Elizabeth II is reported to have kept a rubber duck in her bathroom that wore an inflatable crown.

Of course a toy of this caliber deserves it's own national day, but then shouldn't all the Muppets have a national day as well?

Thanks for noticing. Wow. I would have never guessed bbc would steal my keys. Now I know and I will be careful.
LOL
Jokes aside, the BBC websites had a few quite big security issues in the past.
And this does not really seem very modern either lol
Good call. I might switch sources with the gaurdian.
A very special birthday. This is posh.
