Time Travel!

[karohemd]

You've probably all read about or seen the ridiculous video claiming there's a time traveller in footage of a Chaplin film premiere merely because the person (in appropriate period dress) is holding her hand to her head as if using a mobile phone (why would she, it wouldn't work) so I won't link to that but what I will link to is the Daily Mash's article on the matter.
ETA: It's actually a bloke and this is what he's saying.

I'm also waiting for proof that the footage is actually on the DVD he claims it is on. With the digital wizardry these days it wouldn't be too difficult to fake a clip like that for someone who knows what they're doing.
ffutures below has a good theory.

Also you'd think it'd be somewhat dangerous to talk on a telephone amongst a crowd of people from 90 years back. If you're smart enough to design and operate a time machine, you'd probably be smart enough to leave your phone turned off.

No no no, he can't talk because he won't have a signal. That's the whole pointlessness of the claim.
Unless, of course, the phone connects via radio to the time machine he left behind and the call is routed through that.

Well, she is from the future, so anything's possible!
