0:10 Hi everyone, I am Jeff, and welcome to history. In fact, good's about today, presented by cool Meatia Days August the thirty first trail is. Some nice rais and so the trail. Today is National Trail Mix Day. Oh, come on. Trail mix is great. It's a whole bunch of things you won't eat by them Selsia put them all together. They are nutritious, lightweight, easy to star jay, great for an energy boost. That's why they're perfect to take on a hike.

0:51 Been around since cave man days. Okay Man probably didn't put in Eminem's in theirs, but trail meggs. It works great when you're sitting at your desk and you know the little afternoon energy me up. The basic trail mix is granola nuts, dried fruit, raisins, and sometimes chocolate. So I used today as an excuse to go for a hiker, an extra long walk and just enjoy that trail mix. All right? What happened in entertainment on August thirty. First, let's go back to your nineteen sixty one number one album was Something for Everyone by Elvis Presley. Joe dal had the number one song with Wooden Art. Can't You see I love you, Please don't break my heart into That's not hard to do because I don't have a wood and hard and then you say goodbye, then.

1:39 I know that I would cry. George Jones he had the NUMBERONK Country song with Tender Years. I love you, But in time you. Understand when you shed a tune, then you know you were loving. Then you tender. Third number one book was The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone. Top movie was The Parent Trap teenage twin sisters. They switched places to try and get their divorced parents back together. Starred Hayley Mills, Marine O'Hara, and Brian Keith. All Right, what happened in August thirty first, seventeen ninety eight, the first bank grabgree in the United States occurred. Is that the Bank of Philadelphia one hundred and sixty eight and twenty one dollars are taken. Now that'd be about four million today. A locksmith, Isaac Davis, he had been hired to change all the locks in the banks, and he did, but he also made a key for himself. Now, he had a very good reputation, so nobody suspected him well at first, Then They got a little suspicious when they noticed he was depositing that stolen money back into the bank. Yeah, I busted him red handed. We gave all the money back, so they pardoned him, and yeah, he never served any time. In Joie eighteen eighty eight, the body of Jack the Ripper's versus victim was found in London's East End. She was Mary Anne Nichols, a forty three year old prostitute. Her body was the least mutilated of all his victims. Each victim's body was more mutilated than the one before. It

3:11 killed five women total. He got the name Jack Thripper because someone sent a letter to the newspaper claiming to be the killer and signed it Jack the Ripper. Oh, the newspaper ran the star and the name stuck. Now it's believed that the letter I wasn't from the real killer. Pretty much a hoax. Now, I'm sure pretty much all of you have seen pictures of women in the late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, how they dressed in those great big dresses and skirts and all that kind of stuff. Well, today, in nineteen oh two, missus Adolf Landberg, she was an avid horseback rider. She had had enough of those big as dresses. Nope, she couldn't take it no more. So she is considered the first woman in history to wear a split skirt. Now, she was not trying to make any kind of statement or anything. She just wanted to be comfortable. Nineteen eleven, the Sulvan Act went into effect in New York City. Now, it was New York's first gun control law. It required that they all had to have a license for firearms, and they had to have licenses for concealed hearer. But it was actually really a lot more strict than that. Now you have to fast forward one hundred and eleven years to twenty twenty two.

4:11 The United States Supreme Court, they overruled that Sulo of An Act, said it was unconstitutional. Just general gun legislation would have been sufficient. This was way overstepping the bounds of the legal rights of all their citizens. Back in the day, it was common believe throughout the mining industry, the miners worldwide all pretty much agreed on it. They thought that a miner, a coal miner, he could with a jackammer, he could actually mine five tons of coal a day. Well, in nineteen thirty five, a Russian miner a Lexki is stacking off. He was able to mine one hundred and two tons of coal with the jackammer in one day. Now, of course all the miners called both bs no, no, no. They just thought it was a Communist plot to try and get the Soviets to get their miners to increase their daily production. But to this day no one is able to have been to disprove it. So Lesky's still the man. His record still stands now. One of the greatest days in cinematic history occurred in nineteen forty six the movie Walkie Talkie Hockey premiered.

5:07 It was the movie debut for Shakespearean actor frog Gorn Leghorn. Yeah, sometimes I just like to see how much people are actually paying attention. I would like to see frog Horn Leanghorn do Hamlet, though. Can you imagine him giving the speech to be or not to be? Now that I think about, what's even funnier is that a lot of you probably don't even know who frog Horn, Leghorn, Hamlet or Shakespeare are.
