what happened in the world. On May

24
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.159
the eighteenth, fifteen oh four,
Michelangelo's statue of David. It was placed

25
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.639
in front of the Piazza della Signora. It weighed six tons. Now,

26
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.039
they originally hired Michelangelo to make the
statue for the Florence Cathedral, but now

27
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.000
they realized there's no way they can
move that sixty ton statue that far,

28
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.520
so they slid it across the street
and said, hey, looks good here.

29
00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.879
Sixteen forty two, in Canada,
Williamrie was formed Yeah This later renamed

30
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.800
Montreal. Eighteen thirty In England,
Edward Budding he invented the first lawnmower.

31
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.080
Nineteen twenty seven in Bath Township,
Michigan, Andrew Keijo he committed the worst

32
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.800
school massacre in history. Now,
he was angry for losing his reelection as

33
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.960
a school board treasure and he was
having a lot of financial problems. His

34
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.599
farm was about to be foreclose.
So I put explosives all around the Bath

35
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.199
school. Then he went home,
killed his wife, went back to the

36
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.719
school and detonated the explosives. Thirty
eight elementary school kids and six adults were

37
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.840
killed in the explosion. Now,
in the aftermath of the explosion, as

38
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.280
everybody was running around trying to put
out the fires and looking for survivors,

39
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.439
he was out there sitting in his
truck. When he saw the school superintendent.

40
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:39.560
He called over to him, said, hey, come over here.

41
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.280
When the superintendent got to his truck, yeah, he blew it up,

42
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.759
killing himself, the superintendent and an
eight year old boy who had survived the

43
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.439

Kyo. They discovered that he had enough

45
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.960

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.400
of his financial problems. Nineteen fifty

became the first female pilot to break
the sound barrier. She did it at

48
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.000
Rogers Dry Lake in California. Now, when she first proposed it, the

49
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.919
United States said, hell no,
she was a girl. They were gonna

50
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.560
let her do that. So she
borrowed a jet from Canada. Yeah,

51
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.519
they let her do it. Nineteen

52
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.639

square miles. It caused the largest landslide

56
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.160
that's ever been documented in human history. Now, most people had evacuated,

63
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.439
all right. It was born on
May the eighteenth. One of the greatest

64
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.279
inventors of all times Seth Wheeler.
He was born in Claythlamd, New York

65
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.319

invited the invented the toilet paper that we

66
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.040

67
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.360
would you rank the importance of toilet
paper in your daily life? You might

68
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.480
not think about it until you need
it. Then it becomes very very high

69
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.360
priority there now. Seth even invented
the bracket to hold the roll of toilet

70
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.720
paper. He was married and had
four children. He died a very rich

71
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.879
man in nineteen twenty five at eighty
seven years old. You know what,

72
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.279
wouldn't that been good if it was
caught from the shape like a tube?

73
00:05:48.600 --> 00:06:06.240
Will money go in? Shame?
Roll shame, shake, roll shake row.

102
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:24.120
He was canonized as saint in twenty
fourteen. I'm gonna guess most of you

103
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.000
don't remember the TV show Bonanza Well. Actor Pronell Roberts. He was born

104
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.559

born Akron, Ohio in nineteen fifty. He co founded Divo when he was

112
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.000
going to Kent State University. Now, after the shooting at Kains State,

113
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.080
they came up with the term devolution. That's what their whole comment was on

114
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.799
the way society was nowadays. They
shortened it to Devo in nineteen seventy three.

115
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.919
Then it hit big. They did
have a farewell tour, but they're

116
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.320
still playing. They're actually on May
twenty fourth, in the headline the Punk

117
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.919
Rock Bowling and Music Festival out in
Las Vegas. If you go, some

118
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.360
of the songs you might error whip
it. I can't get no satisfaction through

119
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.519
being cool, the theme for Doctor
Detroit movie now Mark. He's written a

120
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.559
lot of movie and TV scores,
but he writes a lot of songs for

121
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.240
children TV shows. He is married
to a second wife and they have two

122
00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:01.360
daughters. So got a problem.
I'm able, drain O much, don't

123
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:11.120
fail, nice down, old man, A head wrapped around it just comes.

124
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.399
Wow. That song Unwound. It
was the first song that George Strait

125
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.879
ever released. It was back in
nineteen eighty one. Made it all up

126
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.200
the number six on the country charts. Since then, he's had sixteen number

127
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.639
one songs. Yeah, that is
the most all time by a long ways.

128
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.720
Actually he's had eighty six songs going
into the top ten, but that's

129
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.559
not a record. Eddie Arnold had
ninety two songs going to the top ten,

130
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.480
but he only had twenty eight good
number one. George was born in

131
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.559
Potit, Texas, in nineteen fifty
two. He's seventy two now. I

132
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.559
saw George on one of his farewell
tours a couple of years back. He's

133
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.279
out there still performing now. He
eloped with his high school sweetheart back in

134
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.879
nineteen seventy one. They had a
daughter in nineteen seventy two. Sadly,

135
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.000
she was killing the car crafts when
she was thirteen years old. They have

136
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.080
one son, he was born in
nineteen eighty one, now George. He

137
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.639
is the only artist in the history
of music in any genre to have a

138
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.720
top ten song every year for thirty
straight years, and he's only second.

139
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.960
He's only behind Elvis and the Beatles
for the most golden platinum records of all

140
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.639
time. Actress comedian Tina fe is
fifty four. She's blown an Upper Darby

141
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.279
Township, Pennsylvania. In nineteen seventy
she got the scar on her left jak

142
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.080
which she was five years old.
A stranger slashed her on the face in

143
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.480
the alley behind their house. She
first got known on Saturday Night Live,

144
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.279
was on it from nineteen ninety seven
to two thousand and six, Thens You're

145
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.519
Created, Thirty Rock, and then
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Some of the

146
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.320
movies she was in where Baby Mama, Whiskey Tango, Foxtrott, did The

147
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.679
Mean Girls movie. She was actually
a rider and producer for those. Tina

148
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.559
married in two thousand and one and
they have two daughters. All right today

149
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.000
it's factoid that will win you at
beer. One acre of green lawn it

150
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.679
provides more oxygen than one acre in
the rainforest. Yeah, grass produces more

151
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.240
oxygen in the trees, for instance, like an average golf course that produces
