OK, this is wonderful. Thoroughly wonderful. In fact it's so wonderful I've decided not to spoil it with a summary, you'll have to read the whole thing for yourselves. You get one quote, that's it.
On the 28th May 1960, at precisely 7:40pm, AD Cornell valiantly attempted to ‘haunt’ a cinema audience who were sitting down to enjoy an X-rated film. Before emerging from the shadows, Cornell draped himself in a white muslin sheet, the fabric covering him from head to toe. He then emerged before the unsuspecting audience and was bathed in the light of projector. He moved in front of the screen, from the left edge to the right edge and back again. For Science!
