The people in background
Joseph Zeman, 73, commonly known as the Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square
Pentti Linkola is a radical Finnish environmentalist who has often been accused of ecofascism. He lives a materially very simple life and works as a professional fisherman.
Linkola is a misanthropist who blames humans for the destruction of the environment and he has promoted ideas such as genocide for saving the environment and to keep the population in control. He strongly promotes deindustrialization. His ideal of society is a totalitarian dictatorship ruled by a small educated elite, where the majority of the population has the living standards of the Middle Ages, where consumption is limited only to renewable resources, and where "defective" people are killed
Danny Lloyd played Danny ("Doc") Torrance in Kubrick's Shining. He acted in only one other film, The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy, and is now a professor for Biology in a collage in Kentucky. (Also, four other bit actresses from the film would never appear in another movie after The Shining)
And in the early Nineties, a man called Alan Conway went about London telling people he was Stanley Kubrick

The Fingernail Collector
Nikolay Valuev is the first Russian professional heavyweight boxing champion and the current holder of the WBA title, boxing's tallest and heaviest champion ever. (With Video)
My Toenail and Fingernail Collection began in 1983. Since then, it has been spilled 3 times. Each time, I managed to save about 80% of the collection. It was lost in my basement for about 2 years as well. I have been very careful not to allow others to contribute to the collection. It contains both toe and finger nails. Once, when I licked the nails, I made a girl in my college drama class cry. (From Unique Daily)

So I nearly got killed today… My neighbor accidentally put a .44 Magnum round though my wall. It missed my head by three inches. It started in his bathroom, went through the mirror, went through the closet on the other side, blew through that closet door, traveled across his hallway, blew through our common wall, richocheted upward off my computer desk, and lodged in the doorframe
