what is this dudes name?

he's got an hour and 43 minutes, by my time, to survive 2016

pretty sure that's Archibald 'Scooter' McMuffin. He was a well-known 19C phrenologist, currency debaser and wildlife activist who could literally give women orgasms by doing that thing you see with his eyebrows

pictures try to capture the magic
but back then all of the photographers were female
and that's why they couldn't hold the camera steady enough or zoom in so that science could explain it

one of my heroes for sure
