I read an article today on the BBC website which suggested things can go faster than light. It reminded me of this clip from YouTube which is just plain weird. Its a film of the opening of a Charlie Chaplin film in Hollywood in 1928. It shows an ‘old dear’ walking along, purely by chance so it seems, talking on a mobile phone – yes! A mobile phone. Has Steve Jobs actually gone back in time? Has he left us with the ultimate iPhone? Has he? Prove he hasn’t….
Actually I think I know the answer to this bizarre clip. But I’m not telling. Yet. And yes this is bona-fide footage – its all kosha and verified by various worthy individuals who know about this kind of thing – its really 1928 and its outside the Chinese Theatre (or Theater if you’re on the the other side of the pond). Go figure…
Ahhh, there’s nothing like a good conspiracy theory.
Maybe she had an earache…. ;P
Maybe. Or she might actually be Captain Kirk dressed as an old dear talking into his Communicator trying to find Spock? Or maybe its Steve Jobs – maybe he didn’t die but went back in time to try and steal a march on arch rivals Samsung but forgot you need transmitters for the iPhone to work and now he is stuck.
Hmm yes very interesting. I’d rather be watching Strictly!
Strictly is a passing fad. Conspiracies and time travel are fun too!
I saw that clip about a month ago. It had been researched and they came up with the explanation that it was one of those handheld listening devices, like an “ear trumpet.”
Yes apparently its this thing from Siemens
