Hi, I'm Jeff and thanks forjoining us on Let's Wing You a Bear.
It is a companion podcast of thehistory and Factoids about Today podcast.
Now, we're not here to savethe world. We're here to literally help
you win a bear or help youwin a conversation. Stalls or turn south
and you have nothing to talk about. All right, let's get to it.
So do you think the pigeons couldbe trained to tell the difference in
(00:35):
types of art? Well, Japanesescientists were able to do just that.
Now they train the pigeons by showingthem pictures and videos of Monet and Piasto
paintings. Now one group of pigeonsthey got food if they pecked on the
switch when they were showing in Piastopainting. The other one was Monet.
Now each group was able to achievea ninety percent accuracy rate on the artists
that they were supposed to be pickingout. Now it didn't even matter if
(00:57):
the pictures were in black and whiteor if they were in color. Yeah,
the pigeons, they just were ableto distinguish this artists that was theirs.
Then the two groups the pigeons wereshown Picasso and Monet paintings side by
side now both groups. Yeah,still ninety percent accuracy rating. And if
you're wondering, yeah, that's higherthan humans. Now to take it even
a step farther that they wanted tosee it, the pigeons could really tell
(01:18):
a difference in style of art.So Monet he was actually an impressionist.
So although they could tell Money's paintingswhen they turned it upside down, yeah,
they couldn't identify Monet. But Picasso, now he's not really an abstract
artist. He's more of a cubistwith abstract in it. But the pigeons
could identify Piasto paintings when it wasturned upside down. Now, if you
don't want to use that little factoyto win a beer, you can use
(01:38):
it to shame a friend who bragsabout teaching his dog a new trick.
It is football season, so let'stalk about the forward pass, or more
specifically, the first forward pass.In the late eighteen hundred's, much like
rugby, forward passing and football wasillegal. It had been used illegally a
few times, but by the earlynineteen hundreds, football had become a really
(01:59):
blood the dangerous game. The defensethey would just tee off on whoever had
the ball, and just kill him. Then in nineteen oh five, nineteen
college football players were killed and onehundred and fifty nine were seriously injured.
So even the United States President TeddyRoosevelt, whose son was playing football at
Harvard, was talking about Autlan football. So in order to keep football,
you know, legal, they cameup the idea about passing the ball.
(02:21):
They thought that might slow the defenseis down a little bit, you know,
try something. So on September fifth, nineteen oh six, Saint Louis
University was playing Carroll College from Wisconsin, and Saint Louis quarterback Brad Burry Robinson
through the very first legal forward passin American football history. It fell incomplete.
Well that meant it was a turnoverand Carroll College got the ball.
That was the rules back then.Now, later in the game, Robinson
(02:44):
he threw the ball to Jack Snyderfor a twenty year touchdown pass. Football
would never be the same again.Give me back my freedom, let me
live this line and drive see homeand and honey one would give she a
solready alrighty day, stupid law,Let's land in Singapore. In Singapore,
(03:10):
Yes, chewing gum is banned inSingapore. They have become not quite so
strict lately. They will allow medicalgum, you know, for like nicotine
gum to help quit smoking, ordental gum to help with dental problems.
But normal chewing gum. No,it had cost you one thousand dollars for
your first offense, two thousand dollarsfor your second offense, plus community surface.
I'm sure it keeps the streets cleaner. But the main reason Singapore did
(03:32):
it is they invested six billion dollarsin the rapid transit train system that had
smooth and really rapid trains, statedart, all that kind of stuff.
Well, the door sensors on thetrain cars they started being vandalized by people
putting chewing gum on them, sothe doors couldn't operate properly, and that
caused the entire system and just crashand dis reupted the whole train service.
(03:53):
So nineteen ninety two, Singapore theyjust outlocked gum altogether. Well, thank
