Hawaiian Night Fishing, 1948
What a spectacular photo! Imagine wading into the water while a live flame is hovering above your head. This feat is even more incredible when you consider he was spearfishing. For generations, Hawaiians have fished in shallow waters with spears. Koai’e, uhiuhi, o’a, and kauila are all strong woods that are frequently used. They have a pointed end and are usually 6 to 7 feet long. To attract fish, the fishermen used torches made from coconut leaves stuck to their homemade poles. When they needed it to be brighter, they burned nuts in bamboo.

Charlie Chaplin And Albert Einstein At The Premiere Of City Lights
You’d be mistaken if you assumed Albert Einstein spent his days with other scientists! He was a witty and imaginative person who considered himself to be an artist. After being introduced by Universal Studios’ head, Carl Laemmle, we can see why he and Charlie Chaplin hit it off. In 1931, the scientist and the comedian were both there at the premiere of City Lights! Einstein is said to have confessed that he envied his friend’s ability to communicate with the rest of the world without saying a single word. Chaplin replied, “But your fame is even greater… the world admires you when nobody understands you.”
