Cover went to Frank Sinatra for only the Lonely All Right,

40
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.319
Let's see happened in the World. On May of the fourth,

41
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.199
seventeen seventy six, two months before everybody else did it,

42
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.280
Rhode Island they declared his independence from Great Britain. Eighteen

43
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.919
forty six, Michigan became the first state to ban the

44
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.599
death penalty. Eighteen ninety three eight Cowboy Bill Pickett he

45
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.599
invented bulldogging, where a cowboy jumps off his horse and

46
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.919
grabs a steer by the horns and wrestles into the ground.

47
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.439
Today we call it steer wrestling. Do you think alcohol

48
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.280
was involved in that invention? Nineteen twenty three of the

49
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.080
State of New York they repeal this Prohibition Enforcement Act.

50
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.719
See all the prohibition laws were all federal laws. New

51
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.840
York they said they were no longer going to enforce theirs.

52
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.919
So that's pretty much what Colorado did when it came

53
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.840
to marijuana. Nineteen forty two, in World War Two, the

54
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.400
Battle of Korus Sea began Japan. It was verse the

55
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.599
United States in Australia. Now, it was the first naval

56
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.919
battle in history that was completely fought in the air,

57
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.719
all by airplanes, no ships fired on each other. Japan

58
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.039
actually kind of won the ballot of less secutable ships,

59
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.840
but they were held off. Was the first time they'd

60
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.319
ever been denied. Going forward. Nineteen seventy in Kent, Ohio,

61
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.599
the Kent State Massacre happened during a Vietnam War protest.

62
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.919
National guardsmen opened fire on the students protesting. Four students

63
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.560
were killed and eight others were wounded. Twenty twenty one,

64
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.199
helima s yesay, she set a world record. And we're

65
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.879
in Morocco. Yep, she gave birth to non uplets, non uplets.

66
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:55.800
That's nine babies.

67
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:56.960
Yep, they all lived.

68
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.520
That's the first time that ever happened.

69
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.840
Got coat goat show.

70
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.680
This shibf day were gonna he.

71
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.479
Left this shiver day. We don't simple car this shirebirth

72
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.599
day and you know we don't do that.

73
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.639
The birthday who was born on me the fourth Bartolomeo Christophi.

74
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.279
He was born in Venice in sixteen fifty five. Now,

75
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.920
if I told you Bartolomeo he was the most one

76
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.680
of the most important people in the history of music,

77
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.800
would you have any idea why? Well, around the year

78
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.120
seventeen hundred he invented the piano. No one knows exactly

79
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.399
how many pianos Christaphouri built, but three that he built

80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.399
in the seventeen twenties.

81
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:35.120
They're still around.

82
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.519
Yeah, they're in museums in Rome, New York and Germany.

83
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.439
The piano is actually unique. It's the only musical instrument

84
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.519
that can be traced back to one person creating it

85
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.720
now Christoph four. He is really a private guy, is

86
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.720
almost reclusive. Don't know much about him other than that

87
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.360

Explorer Robert Speck. He was born in Devon, England in

89
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.720
eighteen twenty seven.

90
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.560
So what he'd do?

91
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.439
He has the first person to find the source of

92
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.079
the now River. It's Lake Victoria. Yeahs Africa's largest lake.

93

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.399
big ass lake. He was the first European actually to

95
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.199
see Lake Victoria. So then now wherever it runs from

96

97
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.839
