This isn’t exactly news, but on March 17th, Charlie Rose appeared on his show with a pretty noticeable black eye.

Techcrunch solved the mystery by asking the show’s producers:

Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. “In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately,”

This proves that people would rather smash up their own faces than try to wrestle with Apple’s warranty policies… but unfortunately it does nothing to confirm the existence of an Old Man Fight Club.
