00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.839
It's about today. Today is October the ninth. Hey everybody,

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:32.679

Oh, hi, Kendrick, It's leish Erickson Day.

5
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.280
There's a note SpongeBob went to get more giant paper.

6
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.399
Patrick hes happy leif Erickson Day.

7
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.840
Well, today is National leaf ericson day Leith. He was

8
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.280
a Viking. His dad was Eric the Red. Around the

9
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.119
year one thousand leaf in his career, they landed in Canada.

10
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.359
Now they were actually sailing to Greenland. Yeah, we got

11
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.399
blown off course there, possibly the first Europeans actually set

12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.239
foot in North America. Now now he named it Vinland

13
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.319
because of all the grape vines that were growing all

14
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.159
over the place. They were on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Now,

15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.359
it was too late in the year to try and

16
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.040
get back to Greenland, so they just had to build

17
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.480
shelters and camp there for the winter. Well, when spring

18
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.439
hit they headed back to Norway. When they got home,

19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.879
they told everybody wh would listen about this new place

20
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.280
that they found called Vindin. Now, quite a few of

21
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.840
those Norwegians Vikings. Yeah, they went out and checked it out.

22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.079
So how are we supposed to celebrate leaf a Perrikens today? Well,

23
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.159
I guess we can go all Nordic and Viking. We

24
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.599
can eat pickled herring and smoke salmon. We can pillage

25
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.280
our neighbors. It's a good excuse to drink though. So

26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.519
there we go. Now, Leaf he didn't get to North

27
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.359
America five hundred years before Columbus, so we should celebrate him.

28
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.120

Remember pretty much everybody had a sewing machine that sewed

49
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.599
their own clothes. But see they had to pump it

50
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.120
with their foot in order to power the sewing machine. Yeah,

51
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.879
kind of like the Flintstones. Didn't have to do that

52
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.120
