filmtrivia: Chung Ling Soo was a stage character created by a Caucasian American man, William Ellsworth Robinson, who disguised himself as a Chinese man to cash in on audiences’ enthusiasm for the exotic. Robinson lived as Chung, never breaking character while in public. He died in March 1918 when a bullet catch trick went wrong. “Oh my God. Something’s happened. Lower the curtain.” were both his last words and the first English he had spoken on stage in 19 years. Trivia from ‘The Prestige’.

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

hello.


the point of this tumblr, like most tumblrs i'm sure, is to edu-tain. i'm allowed to use that word because i am a middle class white person, and nothing turns white people on more than pseudo-inspirational neologisms. apart from maybe using the prefix 'pseudo'.

i'm a young whippersnapper currently studying at otago university to be a drug lord/apothecary, but i am already a qualified mind-melder. the username 'ordish' comes from a tiny caribbean island nation well-known for its exports of miniature owls. you might not think that's an important commodity, but that's because you're close minded.

you need help.
