Today is National Onion Day. Onions. They are the world's

5
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.520
oldest cultivated vegetable. They've been faring for over five thousand years,

6
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.560
start out in Central Asia before spreading across the planet.

7
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.960
Onions they are really really good for you. Recent studies

8
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.880
show that onions they help you fight colon and breast

9
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.240
cancer and help with heart disease and diabetes. I think

10
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.960
they taste good, especially if they're cooked.

11
00:00:59.439 --> 00:00:59.600

freeze it first. It will help you out there. Now,

In sixth grade, he wanted to be a chef, so

162
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.120
he asked his mom if he could take a home

163
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.559
economics class. His mom told him she'd give him a

164
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.960
hundred bucks if he took a drama class instead. That

165
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.000
worked out really well. Now he played Spider Man in

166
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.960
the first three Spider Man's movies. He was in Pleasantville,

167
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.240
cider House, Rules, Sea Biscuit. He married once for thirteen

168
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.080
years and they have a son and a daughter. All

169
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.960
Our quote of the day goes to actor Jack Lemon.

170
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:38.440
He died to Day in two thousand and one at

171
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.320
seventy six years old. Jack said, failure, It seldom stops you.

172
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.559
What stops you is a fear of failure. Well, thank
