Footnotes

I'm often fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures. ie who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State? Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people. There's millions of 'em.
Ya'll are obviously big fans of my FOOTNOTES SERIES.  Turns out apparently someone over at Cracked is too. Cough. Just like, of course, THESE DUDES.

I still wonder who Carol Burnett's benefactor was.

I love Peter Norman as the footnote to Tommy Smith and John Carlos. Notable for the reprehensible treatment he received from the Australian olympic committee (Aussie's are super-racist, after all) but also for being the "What-the-hell-White-dudes-used-to-win-silver-medals-in-sprints?" award winner.
