This brings the total up to 100, a nice satisfying number.
1,000 is an even more satisfying number
@@the4tierbridge we will need 36 more episodes to accomplish that.
Get on it, madlads!
I say that being sillier but if you stick with it, there are surely that many out there. To put too great an emphasis on it though, could easily play out the best parts of the consideration though, if you were to have to find yourself "reaching" to meet that number...
@@dsxa918 well, we have to verify everything extensively but the info is out there, it's just the ones that actually are true turn out to be lacking in obvious locations.
Cool and good luck producing more facts.
Let's gooooooo
I hope you're going to do a reaction to this one too? (Please do I love them!)
I was getting ready for work and heard “Jack was the name of a baboon who HATED double amputee railway signalman.....” and I thought “What the hell did I just hear?!” I listened to it again and it was cleared up, I had to laugh though. The idea of this baboon hating this unfortunate man with seemingly no provocation and it leading up to a story worth mentioning in a historical facts video seemed pretty hilarious
If only
When Frank Hayes, the horse jockey and trainer, died of a heart attack while racing, it wasn't him who won the race, but his horse, Sweet Kiss.
If we're being specific about the detail, you are correct. Doesn't alter the strangeness of the scenario.
@@DecadesVideos True.
Another great video, Decades. I personally much prefer the image slideshows like you did in your previous Absurd Random History Facts videos. Not that I don't want to see your handsome face or anything, but that it makes concentrating on the facts a lot easier.
I agree, I only watch at midnight and there is too much going on with faces, I'd say commentary slides how is the best way
Personally (Not attempting to be mean) but I prefer the other format. Feel free to try different formats of content, but I prefer the other one. Your channel is amazing, I won't stop watching, and again feel free to try other formats or stick with this!
An absurd historical fact that I know is the Battle of the Eclipse from the 6th century BC. The ancient Medes and Lydians had been at war for six years when a solar eclipse happened over a battle they were having. They took it as a sign that the gods were angry with them, so they made peace afterwards.
I'll research that one, if it checks out properly I'll include it in Part 5 ;)
I just found your videos and was super pumped to binge watch random history facts, until I learnt this last one was made 9 days ago 😂
Give us some time and we'll put out some more.
An additional interesting couple of facts about the Victorian practice of photographing the dead. Firstly, they did not just photograph the deceased - living subjects would also often be in the picture often making a family portrait. Second - you can identify the deceased in the photograph as their face and body will be the clearest. Quite often, the living subjects in the picture may have a slight blurring of their face and body. This is because the exposure time was quite long and, the only subject to remain still long enough for the picture to be taken would be the deceased.
Here's one, but I classify it as sad but also inspiring: after the death of his wife and daughter, Neil Peart, drummer for the Canadian progressive rock band Rush, told bandmates Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee "consider me retired" at his wife's funeral. After this, he went on a long sabbatical to mourn and reflect. In this sabbatical, he traveled extensively throughout North and Central America, covering 88,000km, or 55,000mil. After the journey, Peart returned to the band and wrote a book about his journey.
Love this channel. So happy I found it.
Like the format. And you pronounced Appomattox right! 17:59
Great Chanel, great video, love the absurd fact segments too.
Well done! Looking forward to more!
Between the last japanese soldier to surrender living till 2014 and the japanese man twice surviving the atomic bomb living till his nineties, I think there may be something to their diets or health practices
Interesting stories and explained in a nice way. Love it.
Have you covered the case of Tarrare? Strange as it gets.
Nice video as always, met the channel by VTH and watch much as I can, high quality
After the Danish scientist Niels Bohr won the Nobel Prize in 1922, the Carlsberg brewery piped beer into his house so he had free beer whenever he wanted it.
I myself, give a thumbs up to that handsome face being online telling stories gingers my favorite, go gingers! Gingerbeard Man! Good show!
Love these, hooray for 100! I like the mix between clips and face time, but we need to get you a better camera so we can see every beard hair.
McLean apparently said, “the war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor.”
I like this new format, but I'm also gonna watch the videos regardless. So let's see what some others say about it.
Oh aye
Love these...
Umm.... Your face is 😍
I already love your videos for the content and for your voice. But seeing you is just icing on the cake!
If while Mum comes over for dinner says she's not fond of your friends , respond politely Thats fine , try the salad instead.
5:38 in a alternate universe without Hitler, President Carter invades Poland for their womens.
I was here before VTH
We appreciate all support equally
Pronunciation: your pronunciation is more accurate than you may believe. There are rules for pronunciation that few people are aware of but you are following them fairly well compensating for differences in accent. This occurs mainly in the pronunciation of vowels and syllable stress that affects rhythm and cadence.
I first learned about "Mad Jack" Churchill on an episode of Citation Needed.
I believe Mad Jack has the only confirmed longbow kill in WWII
Slideshows are so much better handsome.
If you stay with this format, and I hope you do, you need a set up where it’s not so obvious to the viewer that you are reading your commentary from your notes. For a few seconds you’re actually talking to us but then you look away. He change of focus is distracting.
Agreed
Better than a computer mate.
Cool beard, broski
Wilmer McLean didn’t “flee to Virginia” since both Manassas and Appomattox are in that state.
Nothing against your beard... but I liked your prior videos in this series 👍
Splendid beard
About the UXBs in the U.S., and I am not making this up -- Japanese schoolgirls during WWII were put to work making balloon bombs after school. These balloons were sent to waft over the western part of the country, where they were expected to explode and create fires. Only one ever caused any damage, but it was nasty. In 1945, a preacher and his wife took some kids out for a picnic, and they found a balloon bomb under some bushes. The children, being childishly curious, went to investigate, and the bomb went off. It killed the woman, who was pregnant, and all five children. There are thousands of these weapons still around.
Sun Yet Sen was in Denver when the Chinese revolution broke out.
#14: There are still many unexploded cannon balls in the US left over from the Civil War.
Probably more than likely referencing landmines around disused military sites above all
I wouldn't mind some enthusiastic weirdo riding his horse by my subdivision every once in a while, yelling that the British were coming.
'Regular' or not
You are awesome ❤

Julius Caesar did not crucify the Silesian Pirates, He had their throats cut, then displayed them as if they were crucified. Caesar was appalled by crucifixion, and considered it too brutal, even for these pirates. -edit spelling
you take care also, please do more videos as you can
Here's a fact for you. Ptolemy VIII was married to his sister and that sister's daughter simultaneously meaning when the niece gave birth to their son that son was also her nephew. You think the Hapsburgs are bad? The Ptolemaic Dynasty are so so much worse. Ptolemy also hated his sister and for her birthday sent her a present of their son's dismembered body. Also he was called "physcon" which is Greek for "fatty"
For # 20, you pronounced it right.The reason I know is I am from there.
Highly unlikely the British and German troops would have played a football match with their helmets on…… in 1914 German troops still wore the picklehaube (spiked helmet). They would have gone through a few footballs😊
Love it, love stir fry, bullet proof maybe not. Let's hope you never find out.
I bet it would be a half-uncle lol
Subscribing for the beard, will unsubscribe if the video sucks but the beard is a good start.
We shall cross our fingers
If I have a say. I prefer to see a picture while you talk. That way I can spend more time looking at the picture and focus on it rather than on your environment.
Lovely
Silence
Oh, I remember the silence
On a cold winter day
After many months on the battlefield
And we were used to the violence
Then all the cannons went silent
And the snow fell
Voices sang to me from no man's land
It's a good face. I think you should keep it.
Dude what is that music in the background 😳
going to moon and back is a bit random i think

Crazy people are called unhinged. How come sane people are never called hinged?
Because human sanity is an illusion.
At this point, we have to seriously question the validity of Jones. Is he real? Was he a figment of our imagination? Sadly, we'll never know.
He is sadly very real, and his first proper video back is a bit too long and scenic for us to rush out.
@@Fizhy awesome! Can't wait.
You look like Tommy from P1!
Does anyone know how to change the ringtone of my cat? Its updated to IOS 17.2

I've been thinking about going beaver but I'm not in a hurry
Who brings a bear to college?
It's a back to school essential.
*The change in focus….
Sure it's just a coincidence that you started growing your beard out after meeting me lol 😉
I wasn't beardless at that point, I just haven't bothered shaving since either
Can you cover a fact or two about rock music?
There are a fair few, I don't know a lot about rock music but I've seen the odd fact crop up in my 'research'.
What's the gurrent rate for Beardium?
I'm surely getting five inches a year, I'd expect seven at least, if I were to keep track of it
I would bet it's moving faster than continental drift
Up the irons! Go hammers
That is a wham beard

It's true Paul ravere never said the British were coming he said the "regulars" were coming
So the fact is he did say "coming"?

I saw that you guys covered some Brazilian history in past videos, it's nice to see my country get a view in English history channels, there's a history fact that happened in a important part of Brazil's history, I'm not sure how absurd it is for a list, but it's believed and somewhere confirmed that Dom Pedro I, the first emperor of Brazil, had diarrhea when he proclaimed Brazil independence, and he was mounting a mule and not a horse, I also heard some people say he was dropping in some grass when he received message from the Portugal situation moments after saying: "Independence or Death"
You have a nice face.
2minutes 50 seconds in . One fact given . Sorry - too slow . I’m off
What is it with all these guys growing beards? I find them gross
America was bombed by Japan in Hawaii silly..you said United States was never Arial bombed.. the start of World War Two
Hawaii officially became a US state in 1959, it was only a US territory during WWII and therefore not actually the US. It does defeat the joke I made a wee bit, mind you. Furthermore the Second World War had been raging for over 2 years by the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, so it wasn't the start by any means, it was closer to halfway if anything.
United States stole Hawaii and the world let them do it
for a pineapple manufacture
The Hawaiians consider themselves to be an occupied territory, statehood or no statehood
A Grecian! What a pleasant surprise. I am one of the few Austrians probably to support this wonderful Club. ❤🤍
