9
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.119

The top selling book was The Exorcist by William Peter Bladdie.

38
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.000

Gunn and Charles saffieh Le's see. It happened on July

42
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.199
the twenty ninth, twelve seventy nine. Mongol leader Kupla Khan,

43
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.599
he sent five ambassadors over to Japan to deliver a

44
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.319
letter to the empire. Wow, Japan's emperor. He read the letter. Oh,

45
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.319
he didn't respond to it. He just had those five

46
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.240
ambassadors beheaded because that was his response. Now, the rhetor

47
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.080
it led that if he surrendered, yeah, he would be lived,

48
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.599
he could live and all that kind of stuff, and

49
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.000

I was born on July the twenty ninth. Walter Hunt.

80
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.680
He was born in Martinsburg, New York, in seventeen ninety six.

81
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.399
Now he was quite the inventor. Yeah, never really got

82
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:13.839
rich from it.

83
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.000
THO.

84
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.360
See what he would do is he'd get go and

85
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.079
invent something. He'd get the patent, then he'd sell the

86
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.199
pad for whatever he could get. Yeah, then he'd go

87
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.519
on and invent something else. So you know, never really

88
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.319
hit big. But the people who bought those patents, they

89
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.160
got really rich. Some of the inventions that he pretty

90
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.120
much just gave away. The safety pin, the fountain pen,

91
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.920
sewing machine, a machine for making nuts and bolts, the

93
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.160

94
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.199
them all. He was married and at fort yield and

d A b a r A Theda Bearra. She was

98
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.439
born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in eighteen eighty five. Now she

99
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.920
was a silent film star. Yeah, one of the most

100
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.439
popular silent old movie stars there was. She was considered

101
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.240
the first sex symbol. See she played the fem fatale roles. Yeah,

102
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.040

106
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.399
she wanted nothing to do with talking. She retired right

107
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.879
then and there, forty one years old. Makes you wonder

108
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.120
did she have a really bad voice or because you

109
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.519
