00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.679
Hi, I am Jeff and welcome to history and fact.

2
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.160
Du it's about today. Today is August the twenty sixth.

3
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:50.240
It is National Toilet Paper Day, possibly the most important

4
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.600
day of the year. Now the first time in history

5
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.719
that has documented that people started about wiping their booty. Yeah,

6
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.600
it was the Romans. They used a kind of a sponge.

7
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.479
Eighteen fifty seven toilet paper. It began being sold in

8
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.759
the United States with just flat sheets of rough paper.

9
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.719
Eighteen ninety. Seth Wheeler he created the first perforated rolls

10
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.920
of toilet paper. So thank you, Seth. But it took

11
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.079
until the nineteen thirties before toilet paper was actually considered

12
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.159
to be splinter free.

13
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:16.000
No.

14
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.280
Nineteen sixties toilet paper they started selling in different colors,

15
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.040
pink and green and blue. Yeah, whatever match the decor

16
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.000
of your bathroom. Two thousand and four it off stopped. Now,

17
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.519
I guess they didn't want to pollute the sewer system. Now,

18
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.040
I think white was just a lot cheaper, except for France.

19
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.599
Now you can actually get pink toilet paper over in France. Ah,

20
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.359
you guys know how to celebrate the National toilet Paper Day.

21
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.799
Get this in your lifetime. Three hundred and eighty four

22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.719
trees will be killed so that you can use toilet paper. Yeah,

23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.040
the average person's life. Yeah, eighty four trees and take

24
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.280
up all their toilet paper. All right, this is going

25
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.799
on entertainment. On August the twenty sixth, back to nineteen

26
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.040

Ronnie McDowell he had the number one country song with

31
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.360
You're Gonna Ruin My Bad reputation.

32
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:38.719
Reputation used to be a hard break, loose and fancy

33
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.319
creek you fantation.

34
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.840
The number one book was the Name of the Rose

35
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.400
when bertill Echo. The top movie was Mister Mom. Michael

36
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.599
Keaton loses the jobs. Now Terry Garr has to go

37
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.840
support the family Keaton. He is to become the mom,

38
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.439
all right. What happened on August at twenty sixth, sixteen

39
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.120
eighty two English astronomer Edmund Haley he saw the comment

40
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.800
that's going to bear that bears his name today basically yeah,

41
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.520
except for the first time. Then he predicted that it

42
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.280
would come back in seventeen fifty eight well, of course

43
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.199
he didn't live long enough to see it, but it

44
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.919
did come back in seventeen fifty eight. Since he was right,

45
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.360
they just called it Haley's comment. Now it's going to

46
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.680
come back every seventy five years, so the next time

47
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.360
it'll be seen here on earth will be twenty sixty one.

48
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.680
But I saw it in nineteen eighty six. I think

49
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.199
I'm good. In eighteen seventy three, outside of Saint Louis, Missouri,

50
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.759

had money could actually go to kindergarten. I mean, yes,

52
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.800
public schools were free, but that's starting in first grade. Yeah.

53
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.400
Up until then, if you wanted your kid to go

54
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.360
to kindergarten, you actually had to pay for it. She

55
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.759
didn't think that right. So yeah, today she actually started freak.

189
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.639
awesome day. We'll talk tomorrow.

190
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.840
I was going a farmer's door, drank wine like it

191
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.799
was water. I never stood for being pushed around it.

192
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.200
As a kid, I drove the fergie, wasn't scared of

193
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:45.240
getting teddy, but I cleaned up good when Friday came around.

194
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.799
I'm good. Will still talk to stilettos. It's just the

195
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:55.240
way my life goes. You can't fly until you learn

196
00:10:55.399 --> 00:11:00.879
to fall. It's always been much rue them. I like

197
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.559
caviarm bubbles. They won't keep the Cinderella from the ball.

198
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.799
Hard work does never trouble I learned to use a

199
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:17.320
shovel and every tool you need to get it done.

200
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:24.120
As a moonlight cast shadow, we'd sing around. That piano

201
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.399
took me to where I am from where I'm from.

202
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.000
Your im still talk to stilettos. It's just sway my

203
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.600
life goes. You can't fly until you learn to fall.

204
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.879
It's always been my trouble. I like caviarm bubbles. They

205
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.200
won't keep the Cinderella around the ball.
