0:10 Hey, Hello, I'm Jeff and welcome to history and Factoids about Today, presented by Cool Media. Today's October the twentieth, and we all. Had chicken, and we all had chicken, and we all had chicken after and we all had chicken and wine. We all had chicken. Today is National Chicken and Waffles Day. Pretty simple, a waffle served with fried chicken, syrup and butter. What's really odd. In the seventeenth century, the Pennsylvania Dutch and African slaves in the South both created chicken and waffles about the same time. The African American version. That's the one that's popular today. Some local restaurants are having big deals today.

0:58 So whether you make them yourself, go out. Just enjoy a Sunday with some chicken and waffles. All right, let's say it happened to entertainment on October the twentieth. It's back the nineteen fifty eight number one album with Frank Sinatra sings for Only the Lonely Bye Frank Sinatra. Tommy Edwards had the number one is on with It's all in the Game. Mania has to fall, But it's all is the game, all in the wonderful game. That we know as love. Ray Price had the number one country song with city lights. A right.

1:47 Of city lights as far as I can see, wide way shines through the mind. Only God that the cavel raggets their flash signs and. By their number one book was Lolita by Vladimir Nikobov. Todd movie was cut on a hut tin roof Paul Newman. He's an alcoholic ex football player who just ignores his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, so she gets his dying father for Alves to reconnect and then Newman and ives they have some issues to work through, alright. What happened In October the twentieth, eighteen eighteen, the United States and Great Britain agreed that the forty ninth Parallel would be the border between the United States and Canada and that they would jointly control the organ territory. Back in World War One airplane pilots they did not have parachutes, no cockpoit had been designed that could hold a pilot added parachute, so after the war they decided they needed to fix that. Nineteen twenty two US Army pilot Howard Harris he was on a training flight when his wings fell off of his airplane, he is about twenty five hundred feet up. He was able to jump out of the plane with this parachute, landing with only cuts and bruises made in the first pilot to jump from a disable there planing and live because of a parachute. People had jumped with parachutes before, but they wanted to do it.

3:10 Now. If you go back to March twentieth, the nineteen forty two, after fleeing the Philippines and arriving in Australia, United States General dougl MacArthur gave this famous degree, I shall return. I mean that didn't do much good for the twelve thousand US soldiers and sixty three Philipino soldiers he left beyond. But then the United States they reinvaded the Philippines. They able to fight back and retake the Philippines from Japanese control. So today, in nineteen forty four, MacArthur waited ashore at a beach in Leydae. He hadn't been secured, so it was perfectly safe, and he was in a perfectly pressed and ironed and starts uniform, surrounded by photographers and media. He probably beclaiming people of Philippines, I have returned. Twenty thousand US soldiers had died, so MacArthur could make that triumphant return. Now, usually when you see a story about Bigfoot, they play that really grainy video of Bigfoot walking across the creek bed that was shot today in nineteen sixty seven.

Nineteen seventy five, the Supreme Court ruled that teachers could spank students after they gave him a warning. Well sort of. But this pre court rolled was that it was up to the stage and if they wanted to. Yeah, state could decide that they wanted to spank their students.

Well at eighteen Colorado, they just passed a lot last year saying that you can't spank the kids. Nineteen eighty six, the pilot of a Soviet Union passenger of Jed Island. He bet his co pilot that he could land that plane with the cockpit windows completely blocked out. So the two got together and they covered up all the windows. Yeah, then they did an instrument landing. They hit the run way of going about one hundred and seventy four miles an hour, caused the plane to flip upside down, killed seventy passengers. Pilot he was perfectly fine. He walked away unhurt. The co pilot he died from a heart attack on his way to the hospital. Pilot had to spend six years in prison for it.
