Last week, an eBay auction of a photograph lit up the Internet-ing world with both silliness and a big conspiracy bent. The photo came with its own wacky theory – that Nicolas Cage was secretly a vampire. eBay seller “jack_mord” was hawking a photo, billed simply as “Nicolas Cage is a Vampire / Photo from 1870 / Tennessee,” complete with its own presumption that Cage is not just a talented (and Oscar-winning!) actor from a Hollywood family (who may be prone to some of his own offbeat life choices), but a vampire who will rise up like a phoenix every few years, only to garner popular glory in whatever time period he lands.

Why must people always assume the worst? Maybe he's simply a time-traveler. DUH!!!

;-)

There's a real resemblance though!

I'm glad you posted this red.

It was an answer on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" during the "Not My Job Segment" with Jane Goodall just now!

I'm going with time traveler. He's aging too much now to be a vampire. Unless, of course, the reason for that is that our blood is so polluted now that he's having trouble getting proper nourishment from it.....

I'm going with time-traveler, too. The resemblance is incredible!

Second time I've seen something like this. Get a photograph of Morgan Earp (Wyatt's brother) and compare it to actor Bill Paxton---who played Morgan in the movie "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer.

      Everybody has a lookalike, probably more than one. This guy is similar to Nick Cage, but I doubt if the vampire theory has much credence. (like none)

      Of course, there's one small hitch when it comes to this clever little slice of movie memorabilia and conspiracy theory - vampires don't get captured in photographs. Duh.

      Oh and I have some Spelunker sunglasses that would be perfect for you.
