Charlie Chaplin Day
He was born on April 16, 1889 and lived until Christmas Day 1977. He saw the world change from grimy cities of the horse and buggy days to men walking on the moon. His brilliant satire reflected the challenges in society all along the way. Groucho Marx called him the funniest entertainer he had ever seen.
Youtuber Lone6gn has put together the best Chaplin montage I’ve ever seen. There isn’t a comedian you enjoy today who hasn’t been influenced by the original master, Charlie Chaplin.

Life. Culture. Education.
Life as Pop Culture Professor Clay Morgan
In The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo he can take the blue pill and go on believing whatever he wants to believe. Or he can take the red pill to stay in Wonderland and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is a red pill type site that provides information in an entertaining way. It’s about clear thinking and good writing. It’s about finding meaning amidst the absurd. It’s about humor and truth.
I’m a writer / speaker who teaches history and political courses at a couple of local colleges. Where is local, you say? Well, that would be Wonderland of course.
On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
So Is that why u cancelled class today
I wish! That never happens. Guess you’re just lucky. No, the Chaplin b-day was set to roll for a while. Take care.
