So this is pretty weird!

I'm married now! In the end it all went very well on the day, pretty much as well as I could have hoped. I'll post about the wedding (and some pics...just ones from friends, since we don't have our official ones yet and probably won't for a while) a bit later.

I just wanted to post this weird story: Cell phone mystery in 1928 Chaplin film

What do you think? Hoax? Some other explanation?

O.K., watched the video. The explanation isn't difficult. She's using an vacuum tube hearing aid, and speaking to the man walking in front of her. Either that, or she's using even older technology and using an ear tube. The only mystery is that people love a mystery and will make them where there are none. Bloke who made the clip doesn't believe his sensationalist explanation, either.
