Good evening, Major, my name is Muybridge and here is the answer to the letter you sent my wife.
What Eadweard Muybridge said to Major Harry Larkyns, who was sleeping with his wife, just before he shot and killed him. (Muybridge was acquitted on the grounds of "justifiable homicide". No word on how the wife took the news.)
Also learned that Muybridge did the same tricky thing with a buffalo as he did with that racehorse.
I've always liked the racehorse clip -- but for some reason the buffalo clip makes me go all melty inside.
Thanks, Wikipedia.
p.s. Wait -- one more: Phillip Glass wrote an opera based on the incident (the shooting, not the buffalo). And no, it's not available at Amazon. So that makes four. Four things.
