Number one book was The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind.

31
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.519
Top movie was The Help. An aspiring writer in the

32
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.319
nineteen sixties writes a book from her black maid's point

33
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.640
of view during the Civil Rights movement. So I was

34
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.159
Viola Davis, Emma Stone, and Octavia Spencer A What happened

35
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.919
on August the thirtieth in eleven forty six in Europe?

36
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.199
Somehow they were able to get all the leaders in

37
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.159
royalty together and they all decided to outlaw crossbows. Yeah,

38
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.560
they all believed that it would end war for all time.

39
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.000
It worked for a couple months. Seventeen seventy six, during

40
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.800
the American Revolution, the British had the Continental Army on

41
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.319
the ropes, the Cotton Isln Army. They had to evacuate

42
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.240
Long Island. They fell back to Manhattan. Eighteen sixty one,

43
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.280
Union General John Fremont. He declared that all slaves in

44
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.159
Missouri were free. It was called Fremont's emancipation. Only problem

45
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.280
was Fremont had no power authority to do it. President

46
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.759
Abraham Lincoln actually had to relieve him from his command

47
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.120
for insubordination. Eighteen ninety, President Benjamin Harrison he signed the

48
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.039
first law requiring inspections of meat products over in England

49
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.080

first powered vacuum cleaner in nineteen fifty six. The Lake

51
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.800
Ponchetron Causeway Bridge will put up down there in Louisiana.

52
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.879
Now it's the longest bridge in the world that runs

53
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.599
continuously over water. It's twenty four miles long. It's actually

54
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.159
the eighth longest bridge in the world. There are six

55
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.599
Chinese bridges and one bridge in Thailand or longer, but

56
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.280
they don't run continuously over water. Nineteen sixty three, the

57
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.960
United States and the Soviet Union, they had the Washington.

58
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400
The Moscow Hotlon got installed. Now it was to provide

59
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.759
emergency communication between the two superpowers. Now there was no

60
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.520
red phone. The hotline actually wasn't any phones at all.

61
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.319
Started out as a teletype and then in nineteen eighty six,

62
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.919
it became a fax machine. Two thousand and eight became

63
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.039
a security email. Nineteen sixty seven, the United States Senate,

64
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.479
they confirmed Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice to

65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.360
serve on the Supreme Court. Nineteen sixty nine of Birmingham, England.

66
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.199
During a concert by the band Earth, their lead singer

67
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.520
of this Guy named Ozzy Osburn, he stopped the show

68
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.599
announced that the band was changing their name to Black Sabbath,

69
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.039
and then they started playing to finished the show. Nineteen

70
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.439
seventy nine, for the first time in history, humans had

71
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.199
witness and recorded that had common hit the sun. Now

72
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.599
that explosion released enough energy to equal one million hydrogen bombs.

73
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.919
Twenty twenty one, in Algeria, they became the last country

74
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.960
in the world to stop selling leaded gasoline. Leted gasoline

75
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.919
and been used around the world for ninety nine years.

76
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:20.680
But now no, no, no more cop Co cop coat shag.

77
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.839
This shibirth day, were gonna pause. He left this shiverbthday.

78
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.040
We gonna sit with targe.

79
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.879
He's like this shivebirthday and you know we don't.

80
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.480
Get that birthday. Yeah, you're probably wonder who was born

81
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.439
on August the thirtieth well writer Mary Shelley. She was

82
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.639
born in Summerstone, England, in seventeen ninety seven. When she

83
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.319
was eighteen years old, during a cold, rainy, dreary summer,

84
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.199
she was staying at that summerhouse with a bunch of friends. Well,

85
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.920
she was challenged to ride a horror store. She accepted

86
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.199
the challenge. She WoT Frankenstein. Now her original buck is

87
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.040
quite a bit different than all the movies you've seen.

88
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.240
One hige misconception is Frankenstein is not the monster. Frankenstein

89
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.560
is the guy who created the monster.

90
00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.560
Now.

It wasn't God made all key talk game.

109
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.399

139
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.160

In nineteen forty eight. It's done some movies in TV shows,

149
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.039
but he's pretty much known for his stand up act

150
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.480
now if you haven't seen him, his bets usually end

151
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.399
up with an angry rant about culture, religion, politics, that

152
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.799
kind of stuff. So the lot of seed is quite

153
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.720
a few books, done, a number of comedy TV specials.

154
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.320

158
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.080
He played John Belushi in it. Now it was a

159
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.600
really controversial movie. Critics hated the movie, and it bombed

160
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.120
at the box office. But Michael, he got great reviews

161
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.600
for how he played Belushi. First really got known though

162
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.120
