9
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.679
ball because of medical reasons. Now, back in the Stone Age,

10
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.920
menway shave their heads using sharpened clamshells. Then during Roman times,

11
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.200
men shave their heads in order to show class status.

12
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.760
They've even found shaving tools over in Egypt that were

13
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.200
made from golden copper. Now, get this, guys. Subconsciously women

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.599
But I believe even.

32
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.439
The number one book was The Key to Rebecca by

33
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.199
Ken Filett. Top movie was Private Benjamin, a spoiled rich

34
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.560
debutpant She joins the Army on a whim. Stars Goldie

35
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.000
Han and Eileen Brennan now both Goldie and Aileen. Yeah,

36
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.599
they were both nominated for Oscars for that movie.

37
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:39.680
All right.

38
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.599
What happened on October the fourteenth, six point eighty King

39
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.759
Wamba He was a king of Hispania, that's Spain in Portugal.

40
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.000
The game, Well, the king he got really sick that

41
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.000
he was gonna die, so he named Erwig the new king.

42
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.479
Then Wamba he fell into a coma. Then he came

43
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.240
out of the coma and made a complete recovery. Without

44
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.919
knowing it, it founds out that Erwig had actually poisoned him.

45
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.120
But due to the lot at the time, once he

46
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.759
anointed Irwi the king, yeah, he couldn't take it back.

47
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.840
So Irwing everybody knew that. He thought Wamba would just die,

48
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.719
but he didn't. But it didn't matter. He was still king,

49
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.599
even though it didn't work. The pierd Ends they had

50
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.360
fled England because they were being persecuted for their religious police.

51
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.319
All they wanted was religious freedom and tolerance, so they

52
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.000
came to the New World, settled in what is Massachusetts,

53
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.039
built some nice colonial towns. Sixteen fifty eight, the pierod

54
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.759
Ends they banned Quakers from entering Massachusetts. Any Quaker came

55
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.479
into Massachusetts would have an air cut off. They came

56
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.560
back a second time, they'd cut the other ear off.

57
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.080
They came back a third time, they would bore a

58
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.039
hole in their tongue with a hot iron. Now, even

59
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.280
the non Puruitents thought that was a little harsh, So

60
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.599
the Puritans recanned on that. They said, Okay, we won't

61
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.159
bore a hole in your tongue, we'll just kill you.

62
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.599
Nineteen twelve, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Teddy Roosevelt, he was running

63
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.280
for president for the Bull Moose Party. Now as he

64
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.360
was walking on stage to give a speech, John's shrink

65
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.400
he shot him in the chest at point blank range. Now,

66
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.319
the bullet went through is eyeglass case and his speech,

67
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.120
which was like fifty ages long. Yeah, so that I

68
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.000
mean they did slow the bullet down a little bit,

69
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.719
but obviously Roosevelt he was still really bleeding right out

70
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.120
of his chest on that. Guess what. He just got

71
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.920
up went on stage and gave that entire ninety minute speech,

72
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.959
still bleeding, and when he was done, he went in

73
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.759
the hospital. The doctor said that removing that bullet it

74
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.800
was gouse more damage than just leaving it end. So

75
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.680
Teddy lived the rest of his life with that bullet

76
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.959
in his chess. Asked for shrink, he said he did

77
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.360
it because the ghost of William McKinley told him to

78
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.079
go kill Roosevelt. So they got a whole bunch of

79
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.000
experts together. They did a bunch of tests on him.

80
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.360
They figured out that the shrink was crazy and he

81
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.439
had to spend the rest of his life in the

82
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.160
mental institution. Nineteen twenty six, the book Winning the Pooh

83
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.759
went on sale. Now, by nineteen forty seven, pilots they'd

84
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.040

two of the United States spy plans. They photographed Soviet

89
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.319
Union missile launchers being built over in Cuba, so it

90
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.079
started the own Cuban missile crisis. Nineteen eighty seven, in Midland, Texas,

91
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.240
