Tom Wilkinson's and Shariah Abba du Lucy something like that. Sorry, okay,
let's see it happened on September eleventh and fifteen oh three.
(02:34):
Michelangelo began sculpting the twelve Apostles. Yeah, for the cathedral
on flors Now, the oversized marble slating statues would be
of Jesus' apostles. So why haven't you heard of it? Well,
only one of them, that Saint Matthew, was partially finished. Yeah,
Michael Angel, he got a little too busy. Casimir Polanski,
he was a Polish Army officer, got into little trouble
over there in Poland. Not only was he kicked out
(02:56):
of the Polish Army, he was told to leave Poland
and never come back. So I came the United States.
He joined a fight for the American independence against Britain.
They formed the United States Calvary, so they made him
in general. Then today, in seventeen seventy seven, it was
that the Battle of Brandywine out there in Pennsylvania, the
British readiest kick in the United States, but big time
everything seemed lost. Then at the last second, Polanski he
(03:18):
showed up in his arts he wrote in grabbed General
George Washington and got him out of the battle into safety.
So pretty impressive. I'm not a lot said about the
Polish cavalry officers saving George Washington's life. Well see, at
the time they thought it made George sound weak, so
they didn't want it out there. Now, when you think
about the presidential cabinet, you know the members kind of
(03:38):
I think of him anyway as a bunch of like,
yes guys, they just got to do what other president wants. Well,
in eighteen forty one President John Tyler he vetoed a
banking though his entire cabinet except for the secred of
the State. They resigned in protest. Now, he never said
he was sorry, and they never came back to work.
So now, who do you think, who would you agree
with this? I mean Congress and the they wanted to
(04:01):
create the FED. Yeah, the Federal Reserve. Well Tyler he
didn't want that. So I know the Federal Reserve has
been in the news a lot lately, and I'm saying, well,
he vetailed it in eighteen forty one. Yeah, well, the
Federal Reserve, it actually did become law in nineteen thirteen
under Wilson. Get this. One year later Wilson said he
had kind of regretted signing it ever since. Yeah, as
(04:21):
soon as he signed it. So that's how the Federal
Reserve came to be kind of a boring topic. But hey,
there's just some car racing in Wisconsin. Nineteen oh three,
the Milwaukee Mile race tracker who opened up first raise
William Jones. He won the five mile race, so I
guess it must have been five laps a round today.
The Milwaukee Mile, Yes, the oldest speedway in the world.
Nineteen oh nine, a German astronomer, his name was Max Wolf.
(04:44):
He discovered a comment. He was so proud of himself.
He was telling everybody. He was bragging to the media
all about it. Finally the other astronomers got together and said, hey, dumbass,
that's Haley's comment. Nineteen thirty nine, and the British submarine
Triton a torpedoed and sank the British submarine Oxley. They
didn't lift that out until after World War Two was over.
Nineteen forty one, construction began on the Pentagon Get this.
(05:06):
It was completed by January nineteen forty three. Yeah, the
world's largest office building. Not the tallest. The biggest is
like six point six million square feet. But the building
over in India it's gonna be bigger. It's gonna be
like seven million square feet, probably a call center. Japan's
prime minister for most of their part in World War
Two was Hedeki Tojo. In nineteen forty five, he attempted
to commit suicide to keep him after him go on
(05:27):
trial for war crimes. Now he was at his house.
The US Army soldiers they surrounded it as they were
getting ready to go in and arrest him. They were
at a gunshot, so they broke down his door and
raced inside, and there he was standing in the hallway
holding a gun, bleeding from a chest to winning the screen
and I am Tojo. Then he just collapsed right there
on the hall So all the soldiers they picked him up,
They moved him to a couch. They went and got
(05:48):
a doctor. Now they were able to save his life. Tojo,
he was hung for war crimes three years later, nineteen
seventy All the cool kids, now they were really even cooler.
Ford Pinto went on sale. Cost two grand. Now that
would be sixteen thousand, six hundred bucks today. Now get this,
the average price for a new car today is forty
eight thousand dollars. So would you spend sixteen thousand, six
(06:11):
hundred for a brand new car even if the gas
stick mine explode? I know, pretty good deal. Now a
lot of these kids probably drove Ford Pintos. Nineteen seventy seven,
the Atari video game system went on sale hundred ninety
nine bucks. Now you had different eight different games you
go at, but the game Combat it came with the
system when you bought it. Nineteen seventy eight, Birmingham, England,
Janet Parker. She was the last person to die from
(06:33):
small packs. She actually caught it in the laboratory. Now
we forget about this one, sadly. Yeah, this was a
really bad day too. In twenty twelve, the United's embassy
out there Mcgazzie Libya of a storm looted and burned. Yeah,
five Americans were killed, including the ambassador. The cover episode,
