# 4 at 3:25 the french "pomme de terre" is better translated as "apple of soil" or "ground apple"
Because when you speak of Earth as the world or the planet, the french word is capitalized as Terre

Actually, the fact #17 should say that Wojtek liked to eat cigarettes, because he allegedly usually consumed them this way. Just a detail.

Fun fact: The Potato is also called "Apple of the Earth" in Farsi

As a Medieval Historian I wrote a piece called "The Unthinkable Burial of William the Conqueror" = He loved to eat Lampreys, which would give off gas while digesting in his belly. causing one to pass gas. William was known for this rather unaromatic trait.

@decades Yes you know what Molasses is, just under the name it goes by in the UK.. Treacle.

Molasses = treacle.

I’m a complete idiot because when you said William Henry Harrison was the shortest sitting president and then failed to mention his height I was thinking “How the hell do you not mention how tall the shortest president was?!” I think I’m going to quit internetting.

Using chickens to make decisions? What bird brains!

Are we any smarter than those who lived before us?😮🙈🙉🙊😮

molasses also gets called treacle, it's from sugar and is strong in taste to make parkin or ginger cake lovely....

When I lived in China, I had the Grand Union Flag of the United States. I was going to hang it in one of the Universities I worked at . . . my wife convinced me not to do it. What an amazing controversy that could have been. I regret not doing that. I know, someone would have caught some kind of problem, but what an amazing story that would have been.

If I'm not mistaken, molasses is called treacle in the UK.

I have never heard of defenestrating but am now delighted beyond my wildest imagination that it exists and I thank you for that sir. Huzzah! 😂

Oh my God the condom plot is hilarious they should've done that

I do stress, I think this story is disgraceful and it’s almost poetic justice. In WW2, a Russian tank regiment hatched a plan to use dogs to destroy tanks. They made a bomb vest with a stick at the top which, when flattened, would detonate. They would starve the dogs for a few days and then hid food under tanks, put unarmed vests on the dogs and released them . The dogs immediately ran under the tanks to retrieve the food. After a few weeks of this, the dogs got the idea they would find food under the tanks. During an impending attack by a panzer division the Russians put the plan to work, strapped on the explosive vests and released the dogs……..who promptly ran under the Russian tanks looking for food. The plan was abandoned. Poor dogs, but what a revenge.

😢just think, that Amerikan president would be claimed to have died of Covid, now

Christianity has nothing to say about left handedness. At all

How about that Robert Hansen! He is the first person to go about that fashionable endeavor of "finding myself" by joining the FBI.

Molasses is called black treacle in the UK,at least according to Google 😊

I don't watch vids with fake film scratches.

Vojtek the bear was also partial to guzzling bottles of beer. There is a beer brewed and named after him in Poland.

#14 I heard as a joke in the 80's that went like this:
President Reagan was contacted by Soviet leader Gorbachev when the AIDS scare was at its peak. An outbreak in the USSR prompted Gorbachev to plead Reagan for an emergency supply of condoms from American manufacturers and the size to be 12 inches long and 3 inches in diameter. Reagan agreed and contacted manufacturers with the measurements specified but with the addition of words printed at the base of the condoms to say on one side "Made in the USA" and the other side to say "Small".

The Black Death was because a king banned black cats because he said they were witches so he exterminated all the black cats causing a plague of rats whose fleas caused the black death

My Dad was left handed but forced to write right handed in school

CIA "fun fact": Operation Northwoods. During the Cold War, CIA had plans for a false flag terrorist attack on the American homeland in order to justify a war against Cuba. The top military brass supported it. It got all the way up to the President, who refused to sign off.

Isn't that fun, guys?

Hachis Parmentier is the French name for shepherd's pie. Named after Antoine Parmentier.

The distortion overlay effect is overkill. Couldn't watch.
