come true, voiced by Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, and Scott

28
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.520
Winer a r What happened on January of the twenty

29
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.919
seventh Back in seventeen seventy three, England's Captain James Cook,

30
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.159
him and his ships. They begame the first across the

31
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.840
Arctic Circle. Now, it was kind of cold down there

32
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.599
and they didn't know what they were doing, so they

33
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.240
just kind of piddled around and came back up north. Today,

34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.520
in eighteen twenty a Russian expedition it was led by

35
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.080
Fabian Billingshauser and Mikhael Lazarev. They were the first people

36
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.520
actually see the continent of Antarctica. Now they circum they

37
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.039
have navigated the whole thing twice, but yeah, they didn't

38
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.120
put foot on it. A year later, though, an American

39
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.280
seal hunter named John Davis. Yeah, he's actually the first

40
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.840
person to step onto Antarctica. Eighteen seventy at DePauw University

41
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.319
in Indiana, the first sorority was found in It was

42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.120
called Kapa alf Thea. Now they actually called themselves a

43
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.159
female fraternity. It was not until eighteen eighty two at

44
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.879
Syracuse University when Gamma Phi Beta was founded. Yeah, they

45
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.599
called themselves sorority. So they were first one is not

46
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.280
to be a female fraternity, So all the other female

47
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.599
attorneys thought sorority sound of betters. They all switched to. Now,

48
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.639
although all the sororities use Greek letters in order to

49
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.800
you know, spell out their names, sorority is actually Latin. Yeah,

50
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.560
I mean Sister nineteen forty at a CCC camp in

51
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.199
Floyd County, Georgia, got done a negative seventeen degrees still

52
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.800
their record cold temperature in Georgia. Nineteen forty four. In

53
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.520
World War Two, the Soviet Union it was finally able

54
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.360
to repel the German army. Yeah, from his siege that

55
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.240
it was doing on Leningrad. Say, it was one of

56
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.639
the worst sieges in world history. Lasted eight hundred and

57
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.879
seventy two days. A million Soviet soldiers died trying to

58
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.840
free the city. A million citizens inside Linigrn died in

59
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.599
and during the stage five hundred thousand German soldiers they

60
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.159
were also killed. So what exactly is the siege? Well,

61
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.639
it's basically it's pretty simple. The military surrounds the city

62
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.639
and the cut soft all the essential supplies they need,

63
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.840
you know, food, water, power, that kind of stuff. Yeah,

64
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.400
forces a city to surrender. Today is actually a pretty

65
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.719
somber day. Yeah. It is the International Day of commemorating

66
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.639
the victims of the Holocaust. It's called the International Holocaust

67
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.399
Remembrance Day. It was today. In nineteen forty five, the

68
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.759
Soviet Union Army it liberated the Auschwitz and Berkanal concentration

69
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.439
camps over there in Poland. Nineteen sixty seven, in Cape

70
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.480
Canaveral in Florida, NASA, they were doing a launch rehearsal

71
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.759
for the Apollo I spacecraft that they were going to

72
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.839
launch into space. Yes, they were practicing. A fire broke

73
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.319
out in the spacecraft killed all three astronauts on board,

74
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.839
Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger B. Chafey. Nineteen seventy

75
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.680
the movie rating system changed. Yeah, they used to have

76
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.160
a rating called m. It was for mature audiences. Yeah,

77
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
they changed it to PG for peranium Gardens suggested. Nineteen

78
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.399
seventy three, the United States, North, yet Mom and South Vietnam.

79
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.839
They all signed it a cease file that ended the

80
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.600
Vietnam War. So that come with that ended no more war.

81
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.759
So the first thing that happened was the United States

82
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.240
Selective Service, no more draft. They stopped that immediately. But sadly,

83
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.399
Colonel William Noldy, he was killed by an artillery show

84
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.160
eleven hours before the ceasefire went into effect. Yeah, he

85
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.519
was the last American soldier was killed during the Vietnam War.

86
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.240
His number was fifty seven thousand, five hundred and ninety seven.

87
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.120

this Shibbert Day. And you know we don't do well.

90
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.000
Let's check out. It was born on January of the

91
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:58.000
twenty seventh, seventeen fifty six. Wolfgang ama Dan's Mozart was

92
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.319
born in Salzburg and what today is Austria. It's considered

93
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.959
the greatest composer of all time, composed over eight hundred

94
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.680
different works, did it in every genre symphony, opera, chamber

95
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.199
of music, choir music, if people played or sang it,

96
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.759
and he wrote it. Now, Mozart he figured out that

97
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.199
since he had already mastered the violin, he had already

98
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.600
mastered the piano, he should probably start composing. He did.

99
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.920
He was five years old. Now. He had loved to

100
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.439
really dress flamboyantly with elegant and elaborate clothing. He always

101
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.480
wore a white rig whenever he was in public. He

102
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.800
kind of had like strawberry blonde here. But he was

103
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.600
a little guy. He was only five foot four and

104
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.920
really skinny. He had like pock marks on his face

105
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.439
from having a small box when he was a kid. Now,

106
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.279
if you're really interested in Mozart, just check out the

107
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.120
movie Ama Dais. I'll tell you everything you need to know.

108
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.279
He got married in seventeen eighty two and they had

109
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.199
six kids, but only two of them survived intency Mozart.

110
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.519
He died in seventeen ninety one, thirty five years old.

111
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.800
They don't know why. I mean, he did have health

112
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.720
issues off and on pretty much his whole life, but

113
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.759
they don't know if that contributed to it or a

114
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.480
lot of people back then they thought he was murdered.

115
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.399
Writer Lewis Carroll. He was born in Darsbury, England, in

116
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.879
eighteen thirty two. He wrote poetry and short stories, and

117
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.839
one day he was at a church picnic. Now he

118
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.480
wrote a boat across the lake to get to the

119
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.120
refreshment stand on the other side. Well, in the boat

120
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.639
was a ten year old little girl named Alice Lindall

121
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.160
and her sisters. Well, Alice knew that he wrote, so

122
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.920
she asked him to tell him a story. So he

123
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.040
made up a story about a little girl named Alice

124
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.480
who fell down a rabbit hole. Then she had quite

125
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.120
the adventure after that. Well, it turned out that boat

126
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.480
right across the lake. Yeah, it gave him his two

127
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.879

128
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.879
