There’s a headline none of us expected to see today, right? This fellow George Clarke
claims to have discovered a “time traveler” in the background of 1928’s Charlie Chaplin film, The Circus. How does he know it’s a time traveler, you ask?
Simple: she’s carrying a cell phone.
In fact, Clarke speculates that she’s might not even be a woman, after all–but that’s sort of besides the point. What’s important here is the fact that, if you look closely, the woman in the background does, in fact appear to be speaking on a phone as she walks behind a zebra statue advertising the opening of Chaplin’s circus.
She has her hand up to her face, with what appears to be the bottom of a phone jutting out (though it may in fact just be a shadow), and she appears to be speaking to no one in particular.
Witness the video (featuring the scene repeated ad nauseum) after the jump.
