Hawaiian Night Fishing, 1948
What a beautiful photograph! Can you imagine wading out into the water with a live flame hovering over your head? This is even more incredible when you consider that he was fishing with a spear. Hawaiians have fished in shallow waters with spears for generations. Strong woods like koai’e, uhiuhi, o’a, and kauila are frequently used. They are usually 6 to 7 feet long and have a pointed end. The fishermen used the light of torches made from coconut leaves stuck to their homemade poles to attract fish. They burned nuts in bamboo to make it brighter when they needed it to be.

Charlie Chaplin And Albert Einstein At The Premiere Of City Lights
If you assumed Albert Einstein spent his days with other scientists, you were mistaken! He was a witty and imaginative individual who saw himself as an artist. We can see why he and Charlie Chaplin hit it off after being introduced by Universal Studios’ head, Carl Laemmle. The scientist and the comedian attended the premiere of City Lights together in 1931! Einstein is said to have confessed that he envied his friend because the world could understand him without saying a single word. “But your fame is even greater… the world admires you when nobody understands you,” Chaplin replied.
