Facts

Item: Lafcadio Hearn (1850)
#27 

0
Description Born in Greece and educated in Ireland, Hearn immigrated to the US at age 19 and lived in poverty for a time until he found employment as a journalist. He was a colorful but morbidly discontented man, admired for his highly polished tales of the macabre. In 1890, a magazine sent him to Japan, where he married a Japanese woman, took a Japanese name, and became a citizen. His subsequent books offered the West its first thoughtful view of Japanese culture. What partial handicap did he have?

They all laughed at him when he started using nitrous oxide.

The oddest of names!
Jo Pearce 22:18:59 | 16 Nov 2011
Is that it? Surely he invented a sausage or something?!
DJ 08:04:44 | 16 Nov 2011
A lesser known fact is that a side-effect of his invention is that his pens occasionally vanish. It doesn't matter how many you buy, they all disappear.. in fact the more you buy in bulk, the faster they go. Weird.
DJ 07:23:23 | 30 Sep 2011
...even fewer would claim to have evidence...
