odd celebrating hiking this time of year,

4
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.920
but if you think about it,
the summer crowds are gone, winter hasn't

17
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.920
The number one book was Towers of
Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

18
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.959
Top movie it was Harry Potter and
the Deadly Hollows Part one, Harry

19
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.000
and his friends they discover the existence
of the three most powerful objects in the

20
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.960
Wizarding World stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma
Watson and Rupert Grint. All right,

21
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.599
let's see what happened in the world
on November the seventeenth, eighteen hundred.

22
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.840
The US Congress they met for the
first time, and their brand new capital

23
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.000
in Washington, d C. Yeah, until the day, they'd been using

24
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.199
Philadelphia as the capitol. Nope,
Now it's Washington, d C. Capitol

25
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.680
Worthy wasn't completed yet, but they
already moved their stuff there, so they

26
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.400
kind of had to make do with
it. Eighteen twenty seven, Union College,

27
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.479
and it's connected me. In New
York, the Delta Fire Fraternity was

28
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.800
founded. It's America's oldest continuous social
fraternity. Eighteen sixty nine. In Egypt,

29
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.680
the SWE's Canal opened up. Now
it connects the Mediterranean Sea and the

30
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.919
Red Sea, and it saves ships
from having to go all the way around

31
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.840
Europe in or Africa in order to
get to Europe saves about fifty five hundred

32
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.520
miles. So today that saves the
ship's about ten days. Can you imagine

33
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.599
how many days it saved way back
when they opened it up. Eighteen seventy

34
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.879
three, and Hungary, the city's
a Buddha and the sit pest. They

35
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.159
didn't like each other, both competing
in order to be the capital of Hungry,

36
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.360
so they merged today. Yeah,
so now the capital of Hungary was

37
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.000
Buddapest. Eighteen eighty four. See
these policemen, they were working a boxing

38
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.159
match at Madison Square Garden doing crowd
control. Well, they decided to go

39
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.280
into the ring and arrest heavyweight world
champion John L. Sullivan in the second

40
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.639
round. They said he was being
too cruel to his opponent. Nineteen forty,

41
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.520
NFL's Green Bay Packers became the first
football team to travel by plane.

42
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.439
In nineteen thirty four, baseball Cincinnati
Rads had been the first professional team to

43
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.680
fly the Packers. Like the Reds, they didn't fly their whole team,

44
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.159
though, they wanted to make sure
that they were okay in case the plane

45
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.319
crashed. Nineteen seventy, America's Douglas
Ingelebarton. He received the patent for the

46
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.360
first computer mouse. Think about that, six years before people started using personal

47
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:55.159
computers. Got got goat show this
