1928 Time Traveller with cell phone

October 28, 2010 8:38 AM

If you're going to travel back in time, don't use your cell phone when Charlie Chaplin is filming.

Filmmaker George Clarke of Belfast noticed something weird in the background in a Charlie Chaplin movie. [queue Twilight Zone music]

Is this some kind of time travel metajoke now?

Good God. IT'S NOT THAT AMAZING. It's not like the woman hopped onto a Segway.

I think she went back in time to stop James Brown from being born.

I'm heading to my time machine to travel back to tell mecran01 this has already been posted and help him avoid this double-post!

I sure hope I don't overshoot and wind up trying to call him from the 1920s or something.
