8
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.960

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.479
a lot better if it was on the weekend. So

10
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.840

a Damn Busted. The number when book was True Believer

28
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.159
by Nicholas Sparks. The top movie was Monster in Law

29
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.439
Jennifer Lopez. She meets the man of her dreams and

30
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.039
his mother will do anything to destroy that relationship. Stars

31
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.159
Jane Fonda as the mean mother. All Right, what happened

32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.840
in the World on May the ninth The oldest treaty

33
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.960
in the world that's still in effect. It goes back

34
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.080
to thirteen eighty six. It's the Treaty of Windsor. It's

35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.800
between Portugal and England. It says that they will be

36
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.360
nice to each other and engage in fair trade. Well,

37
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.919
I guess it works. Sixteen seventy one Thomas Blood he

38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.719
was an Irish colonel. Now he dressed up as a minister,

39
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.960
and then he had a female companion pretending to be

40
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.280
his wife. They went to the Tower of London into

41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.479
view the England and Scotland's crown jewels. Well, you could

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.280
do that back then. Well then his pretend wife, she

43
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.680
hit it off really good with the jewel keeper's wife

44
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.919
and they all became good friends. Blood he eventually offered

45
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.240
a fake nephew to marry the jewel keeper's daughter. The

46
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.719
joe keeper was so happy he had a private showing

47
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.479
for Blood, his friends and the fake nephew. When they

48
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.719
got there, they clubbed and stabbed and gagged the joe keeper.

49
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.919
Then they grabbed all the crown jewels and took off

50
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.400
running the joke keeper. He was able to get out

51
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.719
of the gag and just started screaming. So yet they

52
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.599
were all caught. Now you would think England's King Charles

53
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.680
a second would be pretty pissed off. Well not at all. No,

54
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.199
he said he admired Blood's daring, so he gave him

55
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.120
a full pardon, gave him some landover in Ireland and

56
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.360
a pension. Sounds kind of weird. Well, eventually they found

57
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.719
out that, yeah, King Charles, he was getting a little

58
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.439
low on cash, so him and Blood actually put the

59
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.680
whole thing together. Seventeen fifty four, the first newspaper cartoon

60
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.560
in America was printed. Benjamin Franklin printed it in his

61
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.879
newspaper The Pennsylvania gaz it. It was a snake cut

62
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.599
up into thirteen pieces, and underneath it read join or

63
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.560
die now. Each piece of the snake had initials of

64
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.919
a colony on it. Eighteen sixty four, in the Civil War,

65
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:52.039
at the Battle of Spotsylvania in Virginia, the Confederacy launched

66
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.840
a massive counter attack. Union soldiers told their commander, General Sedgwick,

67
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.319
hey take cover. Sedgwick loudly prayed they couldn't hit an

68
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.240
elephant from this distance. He was immediately shot and killed

69
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.080
by a Confederate sharpshooter. Eighteen ninety six, in London, they

70
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.360
hosted the first horseless carriage show. Saw that first car

71
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.719
show had had ten models on display. They didn't have

72
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.159
any classic cars though. Nineteen twenty seven and ken Berra

73
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.439
he replaced Melbourne as the capital of Australia. Nineteen sixty,

74
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.480
the United States became the first country in the world

75
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.160
to legalize a birth control pill.

76
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.959
Coke coke, coke, coke coat shage.

77
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.199
This SHIVERBF day, were gonna pause.

78
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.720
He left this shubf day.

79
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.160
We gonna sit with Carge. He was like, this shirebirth

80
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.439
day and you know we don't get up because that's

81
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.680
the birthday. Who was born on May of the ninth, Well,

82
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.000
archiellis Howard Carter. He's the guy who discovered King Tut's tomb.

83
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.000
He was born in Kensington, England, in eighteen seventy nine.

84
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.040
Now it sounds like a guy's gone of an ass.

85
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.480
I mean, he never married, he didn't socialized, he didn't

86
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.639
have any friends. But I guess that's kind of perfect

87
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.639
for a guy who just wants to dig in the desert.

88
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.040
Now do you hear about the curse of King Tut's

89
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.839
Tomb where people would die from mosquito vi and car

90
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.759
crashes and unexplained to illnesses, all that weird stuff. Help coward.

91
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.839
He kind of escape the curse. He did die in

92
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.800
nineteen thirty nine at sixty four, but it was from

93
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.560
Hodgkins lymphoma. Now, this guy, William Marston, he was kind

94
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.959
of an interesting guy. He and his wife are both psychologists,

95
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.000
and they wrote health books, self help books. Then they

96
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.519
invented the light detector machine. Yeah, so what do you

97
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.879
do after you invent the light detector machine? You go

98
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.959
into comic books and create Wonder Woman. Kind of makes sense.

99
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
She did have that lasso that made you tell the truth.

100
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:31.600
Well.

101
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.959
Yeah, he was born in Osago, Massachusetts, in eighteen ninety three,

102
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.680
married his wife in nineteen seventeen, and then in nineteen

103
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.920
twenty five. Now it wasn't legal, but he took a

104
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.160
second wife. She was actually four, both of them. Now

105
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.959
he had a son and a daughter from the legal wife,

106
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.519
and they had two sons from there. I guess you

107
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.800
call him partner now. The wife worked and the partner

108
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.000
she raised the kids. William. He died from cancer in

109
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.759

died in nineteen ninety and the other one died in

112
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:02.920
