I like tortilla Jilly patched the way they say, I really like tortilla Chick like tortilla chip. I really like. Tortilla Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. Who In nineteen forty Rebecca Coranza and her husband they owned a Mexican and Delian tortilla factory. Now, she kept noticing the lot of the tortillas got rejected. Yeah, they came out of the machine all misshaping. It's not that you wanted to do something with that, And so she started cutting them up into triangles. She deep fried him, added some salt.

1:02 Huge it. So thank you, Rebecca for coming up with the tortilla chip. Now, whether you use him or nachos today, you just use them to dip with. Enjoy some tortilla chips today, All right?

Okay, what happened on February the twenty fourth, Well, since forty six BC, most of the world had used the calendar name for Julius Caesar, the Julian Calendar. It worked okay, but after sixteen hundred years it needed to be fixed. Today. In fifteen eighty two book Gregor the Thirteenth, he asked the new calendar, the greg Goryan Calendar. Now that fixed pretty much everything. He did, things like moved new years from April first to January first, and then it added February eleap year every four years. Now it took a while, but most of the ones world now they didn't come around and switched to the Greggryan. Last country in our country to do it, that was over in Turkey. They didn't switch to the Gregorian calendar until nineteen twenty six, eighteen oh seven, at the Newcastle Prison in England, three convicted murderers, John Holloway, Owen Haggerty and Elizabeth Gottfried, they were sentenced to a public ganging. Forty thousand people showed up to see that public ganging. Now, when the lever was pulled and the bodies dropped, the whole crowd, he just searched forward for a better look.
