The guy who received the wrong grade of copper must have been REALLY ticked off about it to actually chisel a sternly worded letter to corporate.😂
This looks like a clay tablet- also used by the Romans. The clay was soft enough for messages or drawings to be scratched into it with a stylus and I guess could be either baked or perhaps just left to dry in the sun for a permanent record or smoothed out for re-use. Babylonean Cuneiform (which is extraordinarily difficult to read- not that easy to spell either but I live in hope) has characters made up of an arrangement of wedge shapes so the stylus had a tip with that wedge shap which was pressed into the clay however many times it was necessary to make up each character.
A Copper Karen.
@@TheKira699 You would think so, but that tablet was discovered, amongst several others, in he house of the copper merchant. He was collecting complaints, showing that he was an asshole at least or the model all dishonest salepeople try to imitate. His name was Ea-nasir... and these days he is a meme
But the " I want them set on fire" must've been more persuasive then.☠
The first Karen recorded
The reason the Queen laughed is cause Prince Phillip acted like one of Her Majesty's guards,she wasn't expecting to see him staying there so motionless,asking:"Haven't we met before?"
That's not true. If you google pictures of Prince Philip you'll see that he's in one of his military uniforms. On this occasion he's wearing the Grenadier Guards uniform (at the time he was colonel of the Guard) to accompany her on a review of the Guard. Just as the queen came out of the building a swarm of bees appeared and the queen laughed. A beekeeper had to come in to corral the bees. There are pictures of the whole thing. I don't know why someone started the lie about Philip "joking" since the true story is actually better.
@@christinef7739 I only wrote down what ws told about this photo in the medias.But,as far as I am concerned,the appearently wrong and the true versions of the event are both funny
@@sylvia3367 I agree they're both funny which is why I don't understand why someone made up the rumor about Philip playing a prank on the queen. I read the false version about a year ago and didn't think it made sense; why would he go to such lengths to prank her? Especially in public. Also, I've seen many pictures of him in this uniform. I think the true (bee) story is better than the prank story.
Both are sweet stories!
The actual reason was because Phillip whipped his knob out, conveniently hidden by the white text box!
The photo of Jonathan the tortoise was actually determined to have been taken in 1886, making him even older than previously thought. He is currently believed to be 190 years old, making him the oldest known living terrestrial animal😊
I was most surprised that he came from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and not from the Galapagos as one might expect. Apparently he's now blind and has lost his sense of smell but otherwise trundles around in decent health.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 how can they tell he lost his sense of smell? I feel bad about him being blind and no smell. He is magnificent.
@@paulapalais Hello Paula. I'd presume he failed to react to food placed in front of him. But he can still hear so knows when his companions are eating.
Wdym TERRESTRIAL animal
@@Mari-eo3yi A creature that dwells on land. There are aquatic animals that are immortal and can live forever.
The photo of Queen Elizabeth is not strictly correct. The Duke of Edinburgh dressed as a guardsman as a joke and surprised Her Majesty as she was leaving the Palace. She was delighted…
That's not true. If you google pictures of Prince Philip you'll see that he's in one of his military uniforms. On this occasion he's wearing the Grenadier Guards uniform (at the time he was colonel of the Guard) to accompany her on a review of the Guard.

@@christinef7739 what was a swarm of bees doing nearby in the first place?
@@teragram38crows49 Moving to build a new hive
@@teragram38crows49 following their queen, duh
@@teragram38crows49 it's a line of royal bee
Ngl. ''The Avengers'' look pretty BADASS
Also, the idea that we have a photograph of a lady who was born in the middle of 18th century is wild
And this japanese consul is a true hero ❣️
I noticed that there were at least 3 women in the photo
you can tell that "inglorious bastards" was trying, at some level, to capture the feel of this picture, at least in a few scenes.
The dog who got awarded for extinguishing a bomb by peeing on it was absolutely hilarious 🤣
She must have read Gulliver's Travels.
Malayali 😁
Proof that cats have never changed, and will never change.
"Balloon-supported lake-walking" - someone needs to create this! Looks like fun
We can there’s just no need to
@@Coolkid99880 There are two now
Three.
The civilized alternative to the jet ski.
When the balloon poped off it won't be funny anymore
@@aldebaran5108 that’s what I was thinking, it a completely useless form of transportation
1122AD: Cat walks on your manuscript and ruins your pages
2022AD: Cat walks on your keyboard and ruins your Pages Doc
Some things never change.
Makes you wonder how far mankind could've advanced by now without the pesky devils around. ( I jest)
yea and the fact that it still ended up on the manuscript it probably wasnt the first time it happened and he was done rewriting the pages the kitty walked on 😆
2:30 I'm imagining a debate that went like: " I am in favor of putting the bankers in sacks and throwing them in the river, but I will not vote for the resolution unless there are also snakes in those sacks."
I like to imagine there was a whole ethical debate between those who were pro-snake-in-sack and those who thought it was horrible animal abuse (and nothing about the morals of throwing bankers in the rivers, because of course everyone agreed on that, it's just that the devil is in the details)
Why waste a good snake?
@@AW-xc1xc Your honour, there is a slight problem in that snakes are very rare in these isles. I think it better we fill the sacks with rocks, because we do know witches float and these bankers are the devil's own.
6:11 That's true. Why, you ask, didn't they just shoot them with their guns?
Two reasons.
First, the obvious "the warhead will blow you up if you're too close".
Second, a mystery. When V-bombs first showed up, pilots would naturally shoot them from behind... and then their planes would violently flip upside down. Every single time. It was eventually discovered that the V-warheads were so powerful that they created a split-second vacuum when they exploded. The fighter, right behind, would then get flipped by the natural torque of its engine while passing through the vacuum in the split second before it collapsed.
Things you don't anticipate until you actually encounter in the field...
4:36 - Queen Elizabeth: *Gets invited to wedding by some random couple*
Also Queen Elizabeth : "And I took it personally"
The more you learn about Queen Elizabeth as a person, the more you like her. She had a very 'ice and sugar' personality, she seemed cold and unapproachable until you approached her.
Then you found out she was a strong woman with a dry wit, a warm character, and excellent sense of humor. She learned how to be her own auto mechanic just to make sure she understood her car before she drove it, and spent weeks researching helicopters personally before settling on one for the RAF to use.
Her showing up to a wedding nobody actually expected her to appear at even though she was invited is absolutely the playful joke she would've pulled.
Money can survive underwater for over 100 years. But it cannot survive in my pocket for more than 2 days. Weird!
The debate about throwing bankers in the river in a sack with snakes... should be re-evaluated.
Leave out the snakes though, they're good people making an honest living.
You mean the snakes I hope.
@@thomasfoster4370 yes... Yes I did.
Just to be clear...
Yes, I mean the snakes.
To penetrate your apparent brain damage, the long, skinny things with scales and fangs.
AKA: snakes.
@@paulmcmahon6875 jeez, no need to be like that. i knew you meant the snakes.
3:27 NOOO, why couldn’t you just let him do his thing!? The Declaration of Independence could’ve been so much better if he had written it!😭
00:14 Ancient kitties seem not to have tummy floof at that stage in their evolution.
Few further tidbits about James Doohan.
The seven wounds were all in one incident, the night after D-Day, when he was moving between command posts and was shot by a nervous sentry. A shot to his chest was stopped by the lighter his brother had given him.
He was an artillery officer, and later in the war trained as a pilot to direct artillery fire. At one point in his pilot training, he was busted for SLALOMING a plane along a line of telegraph poles. Reason? "To prove it could be done."
After the war, he got into acting after hearing a radio drama and deciding that he could do voices better.
WTG, Jimmy!!😆
Imagine jokingly inviting hrh the queen to your wedding and she shows up for real XD
3:20 that is very true and that mission was called the Iwakura Mission at the beginning of the Meiji Period in Japan because Emperor Meiji at the time decided that Japan needed to do some rapid modernizing so sent about 100 Japanese Ambassadors on a 22-Month long world tour to take ideas from other countries
Marc Twain is hilarious!!!
And so true
6:43 Sir Winston Churchill wrote a book called "Painting as a Pastime", here are some quotes reflecting the joy he got out of it: 🎨🖼️🖌️
"Happy are the painters for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end, or almost to the end, of the day."
"Just to paint is great fun. The colours are lovely to look at and delicious to squeeze out."
“We cannot aspire to masterpiece. We may content ourselves with a joy ride in a paint-box. And for this Audacity is the only ticket.”
“I cannot pretend to feel impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.”
Wow.. I absolutely love these, especially that third one. That quote is art in and of itself! "And for this Audacity is the only ticket"
Almost a bit of a wordsmith too it would seem. Simply amazing.
@@TheBob_ Churchill’s had a few good speeches too. I’m genuinely surprised that some of his paintings looks quite good. Picasso was right, Sir Winston Churchill could have chosen art as a career.
The American Gothic subjects are Nan Wood Graham (the artist's sister) and Dr. Byron McKeeby (the Wood's family dentist). It was taken in the Gallery at the Cedar Rapids Public Library, September 1942.
5:23 imagine you're walking out at night and come across this thing
That yoda is really an old ancient alien visitor
The university of Otago in New Zealand had a Guttenberg Bible with cat footprints on one of the pages. I saw it on display years ago. I wonder if this is the same book. It's clearly the same issue. Pages left to dry and a cat walks all over them.
I dont think it's the same because the manuscript has 900 years old , and the Gutenberg Bibles was printed in the 15ème Century
@@bistredehomard2123 Agreed, it can't be the same one. It shows cats have been doing this for a while
@@bukster1 yes, cats were always the same
@@bukster1 It's the medeival equivalent of a cat walking all over your keyboard
Cats gonna cat.

Way to go those Avengers ⭐️
Yes!!!!!
2:10 Sugihara's List. Come on, Spielberg, we are waiting for the movie. We know you know how to do it right.
Kinda weird to know that a bunch of samurai and Louie Armstrong were in the same place
02:10 Chiune Sugihara, vice-consul for the Japanese Empire in Kaunas, Lithuania. He and his family survived WWII and returned to Japan, although he left the diplomatic service. In 1984, Yad Vashem recognised him as Righteous Among the Nations and his deeds and memory commemorated in Israel, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Canada, the USA and Brazil. I believe there's a Yiddish term "Mensch", which is a suitable description.
mensch means human in german
@@dschonsie Indeed, but has a further meaning in Yiddish and that seemed appropriate.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 in Yiddish it means “someone to admire” in English it is a person with integrity an honor. So yeah this is a great word to describe him as.
Queen Elizabeth is actually pretty cool.
Has done real manual labor. Many leaders never learned what real work is
To add to the balloon-supported walking: It says "Wasserspaziergang", they are walking on the water, and seemingly don't use the balloons all the time.
Holy city Medina is so beautiful ✨❤️
the gay one had me dying
i wish i could just
"mom i can't go to school today i'm feeling gay"
"the symptoms of gay including liking the same gender and saying *yassss*"
The Queen is such a gueen!
2:48 when you want to sigh but then you’re like: wait that’s actually smart
"When life gives you a lemon..."
Thanks to my fiancee for recommending the fun video 😄!
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends! :)
I love the picture of the toe beans.
At one point the kings of Norway and Sweden were arguing about who owned a certain island. They decided to settle the matter by rolling a pair of dice. Six times in a row they threw the exact same roll as each other. Finally the king of Norway threw the dice with such force that one of them broke into two pieces. Now the island belongs to Sweden!
Cats were a holes even in ancient times
The cats paw prints, long dead kitty saying, put your work down, I want attention.
The cat paws😻
0:00 - Could this be considered the antecedent to cats stepping on keyboards?
7:48 A Portuguese consul in France, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, did the same for thousands of jews (some say up to 30000), thus allowing them to travel to Lisbon, where they could board a ship (or a Pan Am plane) to America. He was then demoted by the Portuguese ruler, dictator Salazar, and died in poverty. However, he has been later nominated Righteous among the Nations, and his name is in the Yad Vashem.
A Spaniard too, Ángel Sanz Briz, during Franco's regime, who was also nominated as Righteous Among Nations in 1966.
I enjoyed so much, and its quite sad when i realized the video is over..
We need more!
This post was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!
The first pic is proof that reincarnation exists, and he has been reborn as my daughter’s cat Desmond. She was painting, and that fluffy little turdbeast suddenly jumped on her canvas and ran clean across it, thereby immortalizing his little beans forever. He’s lucky he’s cute.😂
„Sorry boss I can’t come to work. I’ve been feeling gay lately“ 😭 just imagining it
Fun and interesting, thank you.
4:15 slavery still exists in some parts of the world-
I need more of these please
So gee, I wonder where someone got the idea for Yoda, hmmm?

1:34 I love how this picture is literally from a chocolate factory lmao
Actually, balloon walking on a lake sounds interesting.

I Laughed so hard from that lol
And, it's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", not the Rise and Fall
2:26
*o...what is this... a bomb?*
**pees**
Hey, thanks! Stuff like this is why people think I'm so smart.
Goes a long way to fooling them, right?

"jean" was a weave of cloth similar to, but less hard-wearing than, denim. It is alleged that denim was originally invented as a challenge to the monopoly that jean had on the market.
This is very interesting. 🙂

ok , but i really need a cat ring
Excellent!

Doesn't this look familiar to anyone? Nobody?
Just me?
It's actually pretty famous, so I'd say it's normal if it looks familiar to you
2:34 so, if you're wondering, yes. It was because of the south sea bubble.
Denim Jeans, okay now I get it.
@3:03..... Wow!
1:55 thank you, America, for being unnecessary again
Okay, the first two Star Wars claims are simply cases of inverted reasoning. The movie copies the historical images or others like then NOT the other way around as implied.
Seems like James Doohan should have been a bit more careful for his own good - then he might have done even more damage to the bad guys.
6:36 Probably apocryphal but, he was allegedly infamous for farting at will to crack up his family members on occasion. It certainly would fit this photo entirely.
I have a cousin that could fart at will when we were kids. He ate lots of onions also so it wasn't very amusing.
Lucky that money was in plastic holders when it all sank to the bottom
I consider more than half of theese are wholesome and made me smile.
900 year old equivalent of your cat walking across the keyboard only there’s no undo button
Okay. Now I'm gonna fact check everything listed here. Can't wait to surf 😃

0:57 - I'm not sure why, ,but somehow this is really impressive.
1:09 - BAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! So many jokes, so little time!
1:43 - The feminist in me is pleased by this!
2:09 - Well done!
2:19 - What a a good girl! I wonder if she had any idea what she was doing?
6:01 - Wow! I'm glad there was enough left of him to play the role of Scotty! (BTW, even though he's quite a bit younger i this picture, I still recognize that smile!)
6:59 - Playing for her as she sits near the Sphinx. Now THAT'S romantic!
Amazing ! Thank You
Thankyou for this. Enjoyed it so much.

4:19 Civilization began with slavery and will end with slavery. It's part of the human condition. All races, all continents.

Davinci invented the camera obscura. Some people believe that the the shroud of turin is actually a photograph by Davinci, which, if true, makes him the oldest known person to be photographed. :)

Was Benjamin Franklin that much of a joker he had to be denied such a historical task?
1:02 and the thing is.. she probably knew people from 1600's
The balloon assisted water walking. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I freaking knew it all of these people with all these great ideas for books and great ideas for movies. They get them from ancient texts.
Hannah stilley is not the earliest person captured on film, nor the earliest person born captured on film. In 1838 Deguere photo captured a man standing still getting a shoeshine. We dont onow the guys name and never will but he is the first known image of a person using photography
Delightful background music
Muy bonito todo 💜💚❤️
I did not know that scotty was on dday
Very interesting 👍👍
2:35 a pity it didn't pass
The Japanese official worked in Lithuania.
The picture of the spitfire trying to tip a v1 flying bomb with the tips of its wing is from a video game. Black and white filter added on it.
