"The Life of Pi"? It was mentioned in the gallery's comments.

OH! Oh, it's wonderful! I reccommend it to anyone and every one. It's a bit hard to follow at the start but you soon get into it... It's brilliant. It's by Yann Martel. It's basically about a boy who survives a shipwreck in a life boat, sharing it with a orangutan, a tiger, a zebra and a spotted hyena. It's very cleverly written.

Yes, I read the Wikipedia page on it. However, I'm assuming that the facts are not all from there?

No, I don't use wikipedia uness I'm triple checking a fact... even then it's not the only reference I use. I am aware it's often wrong!

Yes, but what I meant was that your facts aren't all from The Life of Pi. Am I correct?

Oh, I see, sorry. No, they're not from The Life of Pi, the project was inspired by the book.

So then, where so you get your facts? Is it just wherever you happen to hear an interesting one over that day?

All sorts of places. Books mostly, but the internet, things people tell me, what I see on tv. All sorts of places. I have to find the facts most of the time, they rarely just come to me.

So far, which fact do you think is the most interesting in your opinion? I haven't had time to browse the whole archive.

Another Charlie Chaplin fact:
Charlie Chaplin once lost a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. (Some versions of the story say he came in third place, but his place was actually not recorded).

Lol. I did, too. And I looked it up to make sure I was right about the third and they said we don't know. Lol.
Anyway, that's cool you did one. Just started following you so I hadn't seen it yet. But I like it. I love how "third" is such a drastically different font from the rest of it.

Aww, it's a shame I'll have to take the "third" out, but thanks for letting me know and I'm pleased you like it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you don't have to take the third out. it's how the trivia is most often quoted.

She has a deviation regarding that Charlie Chaplin came 3rd in a Charlie Chaplin contest. Check her gallery.
