Did you know …
That the 19th century German physicist Carl August von Steinheil regularly referred to himself as “Robert Redford-handsome”? It’s true!
Whether or not von Steinheil truly had a Redfordian class hotface is pretty much irrelevant. What’s interesting is that he claimed this status nearly one hundred years before Robert Redford himself was born!
This has led many to believe that von Steinheil either had developed some sort of time travel or cross-temporal viewing machine, or that he was magic. Neither option seems particularly likely, since this is a man who accidentally locked himself in his own wardrobe several times. On one occasion he remained trapped in the wardrobe for a full eight days because he refused to speak directly to his servants. He only freed himself accidentally, too, when he fell asleep against the door, which simply fell off the wardrobe—does that sound like the work of a revolutionary genius or a powerful wizard?
