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 is 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 was just flat sheets of rough paper.

9
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.719
Eighteen nineties. 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 --> 00:01:17.959
to be splinter free. No, nineteen sixties toilet paper they

13
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.920
started selling in different colors, pink and green and blue. Yeah,

14
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.959
whatever match the decor of your bathroom. Two thousand and

15
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.760
four it all stopped. No, I guess they didn't want

16
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.200
to pollute the sewer system. Now, I think white was

17
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.480
just a lot cheaper, except for France. Now you can

18
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.719

24
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.680

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.639
The number one selling book was Ragtime to e l Doctor.

35
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.599
Top movie was Jaws, A huge Shark goes crazy off

36

of Long Island, the stars Roy Schreider, Robert Shaw, and

37
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.960
Richard Dreyfuss. All right, what happened on August the twenty six,

38
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.199
sixteen eighty two English astronomer Edmund Haley? He saw the

39
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.199
comment that's gonna bear that bears his name today basically, yeah,

40
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.919
except for the first time. Then he predicted that it

41
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.680
would come back in seventeen fifty eight. Well, of course

42
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.599
he didn't live long enough to see it, but it

43
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.319
did come back in seventeen fifty eight. Since he was right,

44
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.000
they just called it Haley's comment. Now it's gonna come

45
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.400

46
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.759
be seen here on earth will be twenty sixty one.

47
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.080
But I saw it in nineteen eighty six. I think

48
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.599
I'm good. In eighteen seventy three, outside of Saint Louis, Missouri,

49
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.159
Susan blow. She didn't like that only kids whose parents

50
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.719
had money could actually go to kindergarten. I mean, yes,

51
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.199
public schools were free, but that's starting in first grade. Yeah.

52
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.759
Up until then, if you wanted your kid to go

53
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.800
to kindergarten, you actually had to pay for it. She

54
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.000
didn't think that right. So yeah, today she actually started

55
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.800
free kindergartens sped all across the country. Now this might

56
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.039
