MI5 agents were asked in 1952 to investigate Chaplin's background by the United States, which believed the actor was a communist sympathiser whose real name was Israel Thornstein. Chaplin, one of Hollywood's first and greatest stars famed for his 'Little Tramp' character, believed he was born in south London on April 16, 1889. But an exhaustive search by MI5 found no record of his birth anywhere, nor anything to suggest he was any kind of security risk, declassified files from MI5 reveal. "It's very unusual, particularly after investigation by MI5, for the date and place of birth for such a well-known celebrity as Charlie Chaplin to remain so mysterious," said Professor Christopher Andrew, the official historian of MI5.

I think I love a Derp. 10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Zombies The zombies that we know and presumably love/fear may have infiltrated popular culture through books like H.P. Lovecraft's 'Herbert West: Re-Animator,' films such as George Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' and TV shows like AMC's The Walking Dead (which returns Sunday, February 12th), but their existence isn't just limited to the page or the screen. Turns out, they walk among us. The history of the undead reaches farther back into our culture than you might think, and not just as the lumbering metaphor of an apathetic public or mindless society. The modern "zombie" comes from a 1929 novel about Haiti The idea of a walking, shuffling undead being first came into Western civilization's horrified consciousness with the publication of a jarring novel by William Seabrook called 'The Magic Island'.

829; In which Pepper is explained I went to lunch today at a new market-slash-sandwich place that just opened in my neighborhood. It was really good! The market (and neighborhood) is the type to offer fancy organic cold-pressed juice for eleven dollars and artisanal almond milk that comes in something that looks like baby food jars, so when I got this fork to eat my side salad with, at first I wasn’t sure if it was something exotic and fancy: I used the strange fork to eat my salad and was pleased to find that it worked really well! The tiny serrations on the tip helped spear the individual salad leaves very securely. I went up and asked the guy behind the counter if all his forks were like this, and he laughed and assured me they were not. I went back to work with my head spinning. Had I been struck by the sort of coincidental circumstance that led to the invention of Post-Its, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, and representative democracy?? I began to search the patent records.

Behold, The Ultimate Patrick Stewart / Liam Neeson Showdown Here’s Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson appearing on The Graham Norton Show for a showdown of eminently likeable veteran UK actors, to be settled the only way a Picard / Qui-Gon battle could be: By figuring out which actor has the cooler action figure. There’s something extra-amusing about having two highly accomplished serious actors on the same show only to spend the time playing with 10-year-old plastic toys. It’s just surreal that you can all now witness my recurring dream when I was 13 about me and Captain Picard playing with action figures: Best part of the video?
