Billy the Kid in back Garrett to fight a land war.
42
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.879
Stars John Wayne, Forrest Tucker, and Christopher George. Okay, what
43
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.400
happened on August sixth, sixteen sixty one is called the
44
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.240
Treaty of the Hague. The Dutch they sold Brazil to
45
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.280
Portugal sixty three tons of gold four point four billion dollars. Now,
46
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.240
when it was proposed to use electricity for executing people, yeah,
47
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.680
I was believed to be a lot more humane. Well,
48
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.479
I don't know what he did, but they tested out
49
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.800
on a horse and killed the horse with no problem.
50
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.639
So in eighteen ninety in New York, William Krimler, he
51
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.840
had been convicted a murder for killing his wife with
52
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.280
the hatchet. Oh Willie, he received the honor being the
53
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.919
first person executed in the electric chair. So they strapped
54
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.319
him in and they zapped him with one thousand volts
55
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.960
of electricity for about seventeen seconds. Well, unlike the horse, Willy,
56
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.479
he didn't die, so they cranked it up to two
57
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.759
thousand vaults and then they had led her up. Well,
58
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.840
he started bleeding out of orifice in his body. Those
59
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.400
mouth ears are all that.
60
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:29.639
Then he caught fire.
61
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.840
Well, the witnesses they all started throwing up. As bad
62
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.680
as it looked, I guess the smell was even worse.
63
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.360
So it took him eight minutes to die.
64
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.400
More human.
65
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.039
Nineteen twenty six, America's twenty year old Gertrude Italy. She
66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.599
began the first women to swing the English Channel. She
67
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.199
did in fourteen hours and thirty four minutes. That was
68
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.960
two hours faster than any guy had done it. Yeah,
69
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.280
her record actually stood for twenty four years until nineteen
70
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.639
fifty when some dude broke it. Nineteen forty five, at
71
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.960
eight fifteen in the morning, the United States B twenty
72
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.639
nine bomber named the Nola Gay. It was named after
73
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.840
its pilot, Paul Tabis's mom, dropped an atomic bomb named
74
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.840
Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Now the
75
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.800
bomb killed one hundred and fifty thousand people pretty much instantly.
76
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.319
It's really unknown how many people died from the radio poation.
77
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.800
Poisoning after that took place. Nineteen sixty five, President Lindon
78
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.240
Johnson he signed the Voting Rights Act, air prohibited discrimination
79
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.879
against minorities when it comes to elections. Twenty fifteen, out

there in Pittsburgh, they held the world's largest pinball tournament
81
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.360
in history, used over seven hundred machines. Zach Sharp he
82
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.759
won it, got fifteen thousand dollars in a free game.
83
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.120

Let's see what's born. On August the sixth, Alexander Fleming.
89
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.839
He was born in Darvo, Scotland, in eighteen eighty one.
90
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.160
Now he was a microbiologist, and he is a guy
91
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.000
that discovered pitticillin. Yeah, and it's true. It was basically
92
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.160
because he left his lunch out. That's so much shocked.
93
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.600
But anyway, it's considered one of the greatest discoveries in
94
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.199
human history. I mean we take it for granted nowadays.
95
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.639
But before penicilin, yeah, that was pretty bad for people.
96
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.639
But both his wives they did die, but not in
97
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.079

he ran away from home. He up, he went down South,
133
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.759
went to Georgia. Then he got sentenced to a chain
134
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.759
gang for being a vagrant. Why he was able to
135
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.879
escape the chain gang? Yeah, I ran back up to
136
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.800
New England. Yeah, I went and decided to be an actor.
137
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.439

138
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.800

00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.040
old from lung cancer. Artist Andy Warhol, he was born
152

154
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.120

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.000
Car Crash. It showed the mangled interior of a crashed
159
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.920
silver car. Sold a few years ago, Yeah, one hundred
160
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.639

did that back in nineteen sixty four. Sold for one
163
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.679
hundred and ninety five million dollars. Yeah, it's just basically
164
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.480
a really goofy looking portrait of Maryland Monroe. Now, nineteen

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.039
a gay man, Andy Wirrel. Yeah, she saw him, shot
168
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.200

169
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.840
to live the rest of his life wearing a medical
170
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.399
courset to keep his internal organs all in place. She
171
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.120
only got three years in jail for it. Well, it
172
