00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.199
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Facto.

2
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:23.960
It's about today. It's May twenty seven.

3
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.120
I love green grapes. You love green grapes. Where you love.

4
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.359
Green grapes, green and greeny grapes, green and green and

5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:37.000
gret green and green and grapes, greeny, greeny grapes.

6
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.759
Green grapes. I love green grapes. You love green grapes.

7
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.320
We love green.

8
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.479
Gras, green and greeny grapes, green and green and good.

9
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.079
They don't have to be green. Today's just National Grape Day. Now,

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.759
technically you can celebrate with wine, but you're coming off

11
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.679
a three day weekend, and I think you can just

12
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.960
enjoy grapes as a fruit today. Grapes they've been around

13
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.200
for one hundred and thirty million years.

14
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:02.399
You have.

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.599
They're one of the oldest plants on the Earth. They're

16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.040
about ten thousand species of grapes around the planet. But honestly,

17
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.680
we only eat like five types. Now, the grapes used

18
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.680
for wine, they're smaller and don't taste as good as

19
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.359
the grapes that you munch on for fruit. Now, raisins

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.079
they think they probably came about by accident, but they

21
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.840
were making them on purpose since around two thousand BC. Now, grapes,

22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.560
they are really good for you, but they're also high

23
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.920
in sugar, so keep that in mind as you're munching

24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.519
on some grapes today. Let's see what up in entertainment

25
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.879
on May twenty seventh. Let's back to nineteen seventy two.

26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.760
Then when album was first take by ROBERTA. Flak. The

27
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:41.560
Chilights had the number one song with Oh Girl, I'd be.

28
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.599
In trouble if you left now.

29
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.719
Cause I don't know where toll.

30
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.680
I just don't know how.

31
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.760
We can do you.

32
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079
Conway had the number one country song with On Our

33
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.879
Last Date, her Sweet.

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.280
Love never more outshed.

35
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.599
Now she's gone.

36
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:13.439
I'm alone.

37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.919
I was wrong, shot alone too.

38
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.759
After our last day.

39
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.800
The number one book was The Word by Irving Wallace.

40
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.719
The top movie was The Godfather, the patriarch of Mafia family.

41
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.960
He's getting old, so he puts his son in charge.

42
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.199
Stars Marlon Brando, al Pacino and James Kahn. Now I

43
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.520
won the Oscar for Best Pitcher and Brando won his

44
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.560
Oscar for Best Actor. All Right, what happened on May

45
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.439
the twenty seventh. Now in past naval warfare battles they were.

46
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.719
The battleships were basically the key to him. They would

47
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.319
just go out at one on one until one of

48
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.840
them sank, and that can work out so good ones

49
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.280
they all went to steal. Yeah, they have found each other,

50
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.479
but they couldn't sink the other ship. Well, that was

51
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.800
until eighteen oh five was the Battle of Shushima is

52
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.159
in the East c Japanese and Russian battleships. They really

53
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.360
went at it and for some reason, I don't know how,

54
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.800
Japanese just destroyed the Russian battleships. It's the only time

55
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.120
in history where there was a decisive victory and still

56
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.400
battleships fighting each other. See, that's why they started using planes.

57
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.520
Nineteen thirty in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Richard Drew He invented

58
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.240
