Knowledge is power, but what about all those facts that go unnoticed, shrink into the background, and are forgotten? My mission: to find those facts and bring them to my readers.

Charlie Chaplin

This man is the king of slapstick comedy in silent films, yet he wasn't even appreciated off screen.
Charlie Chaplin once lost a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. He failed even to make the finals.
I wonder how George Clooney would feel if he went to a look-alike contest for himself and lost. I can't imagine anyone looking much like Clooney. For that matter, I can't imagine many people looking just like Chaplin either, but I was not around in his time, so I can't really be a fair judge of that now, can I?
