I've known that the correct pronunciation of "mic" was to sound like "mike" (because it's short for "microphone") for so long that the pun in the "Mic-E-Mouse" name escaped me until after I finished reading the article.

(If you also didn't notice the pun, it would sound like "Mickey Mouse" if you pronounced "mic" the way it's written instead of the correct way).

The "mickey" is also the unit used for mouse speed.

Sounds like the old cartoon, Mighty Mouse.
