The Girl in the Picture

Don't remember where I saw this first, but Adactio had a link to it as well, so Jeremy gets the credit. I love this short silent movie. What a creative way to propose! (The story, as I recall, is that he took her out to see "a Buster Keaton movie", but when they got to the theater, they were the only people in the audience, and this is what showed up on the screen. At the end, she looked down and he was on his knees with a ring.) Gee, all we did was go to the Grand Canyon.... Come to think of it, we're going to a wedding today, and I think Laura told me that Bacciagalupi proposed to Beerbrain in a clever way. Wish I could remember what it was.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
