The Only Known Film Footage of Mark Twain...

Postby Royal Nonesuch » Sun Aug 19, 2012 5:48 pm

...shot by Thomas Edison:



Absolutely incredible.
The witness said Mr Brown then called out to Ms Hay's adult daughter: "Look at this, I'm tittie-f***ing your mother!".

Thanks for posting that! Funny thing is, he, (Twain that is), was a friend of Tesla's. Of course Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a friend of Harry Houdini's before they grew estranged over Houdini's debunking of mediums, which Doyle desperately wanted to believe in.

I'd love to have a time machine and go back and talk to some of those greats.

I think at that point in his life he was pretty close. He had lost some children and I think maybe even a wife at that point in his life and his later years in Connecticut were pretty bitter.

You're literally the worst thing to happen to comics since Stan Lee.
