These happy facts will make your day.

Readers, take caution: the gallery of facts you’re about to view comes with an official Mamamia Health Warning. Possible side-effects include extreme elation, uncontrollable smiling, and a general feeling that all is right in the world. There is no known cure.

Doubtful? Try this one on for size: Wayne Allwine, who voiced Mickey Mouse for over 30 years, was married to Russi Taylor… the voice of Minnie Mouse since 1986.

In simpler terms: Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real, three-dimensional life.

Have a flick through this gallery for more happy facts. The full range of pics can be found on Buzzfeed and Reddit.

Let's kick off with something otterly adorable: otters hold hands while they're sleeping so they don't drift apart. What's that strange feeling in your chest? Oh, only your heart exploding.

This is just too good. Wayne Allwine, who voiced Mickey Mouse for over 30 years, was married to Russi Taylor, the current voice of Minnie Mouse.

Just to reiterate: these guys were married IN REAL LIFE.

Some window washers at children's hospitals in the US surprise the kids by dressing up like superheroes.

Blind people smile despite having never seen someone smile before. It is a natural human reaction.

There's a competition in Sweden called Kaninhoppning: rabbit show jumping (well, technically show-hopping - they are rabbits, after all)

If you've ever resented your dad for not fulfilling your multiple requests for a pony, you're going to feel even more bitter after reading this: the last man to walk on the moon, Gene Cernan, promised his daughter he'd write her initials on the moon. And he did.

A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Funnest. Birds. Ever.

And as if that wasn't great enough, a group of pug dogs is (apparently) called a grumble. We think a 'snuffle' would have been equally appropriate.

You won't find lady puffins at their local cocktail bar sharing stories about their good-for-nuffin' man puffins. Because puffins mate for life. Sweet.

Every day I'm pufflin': we kid you not, a baby puffin is called a puffling. Sorry, ponies in cardigans: puffins may just be our new favourite animal.

Monkey business indeed. A monkey was once tried and convicted for smoking a cigarette in South Bend, Indiana.
