      @@Kiefsti Donno mabe because a video that touches on themes such as systemic racism, seems to be sponsored by a company deliberetly named after a slavemaster who never actually did that thing that made him famous ... So if Magellan wanted the name Magellan because of some build in metaphorical meaning to suggest the bridging of gaps between cultures worldwide ... Then they made a mistake which in it self might greet potential costumers in a slightly racist tone... Keep in mind their target audience are people with atleast some historical background knowledge... And naming a company like this without thinking about the historical implications of said name is just a lack of professionalism...

    What really killed mediums and magic with Houdini was that when "communicating" with his dead mother, the medium called him Harold. Harry Houdini was a stage name. His real name was Erik Weisz.

    • @ultimamage3
      @ultimamage3 3 года назад +64

      That and the medium was speaking and writing notes "from Cecilia" in English and topped with a Christian cross when Houdini's mother was a Yiddish woman married to a rabbi and devoutly Jewish-- she didn't speak or write a lick of English, much less could she be capable of writing Merry Christmas on a note.

      I find it absolutely hilarious that Sir Arthur was completely convinced that the fairy photos were 100% real. Years later, Harry Houdini spent an entire evening trying to convince Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that he did not have magic powers, that he just did tricks, showing him how the escapes worked, even demonstrating cold reading and other mentalist tricks and Sir Arthur just kept chuckling and proclaiming that he wouldn't be fooled, he knew Harry had magic powers and was reading his mind...🤣🤣🤣

      I share Simon's skepticism and really struggled with the Santa Claus thing, eventually allowing the lie to be presented to them, and they're now nearing an age where they know it's BS. I feel it was a mistake to do so, and the easy way out to go along with the silliness, but also wonder if it isn't best to go along with it and let them have some fun. We lie about things everyday anyway, maybe this one isn't all that bad, I still don't know on this one. Religion is clearly harmful and dangerous, Santa not so much.

    Those weekend sentences are usually to help keep a parent to manage the kids, or keep your job. It sometimes includes community service with overnight stays in your county departments jail cell. Not usually prison. These are the lowest security, lowest risk people that usually get this sort of sentences. A couple of people I know went down that path.

    I live in Illinois in the US and we have the same law concerning traffic accidents. I barely tapped a handicapped van (everyone was fine) scuffed up their bumper a bit and punctured mine with my own license plate and we had to stay RIGHT THERE until the cops came and told us we could move to a parking lot 100 yards away. Thankfully we were only in a turning lane, but still. Unless anyone is hurt or the damage is bad enough a vehicle is impaired, I agree, take a photo and move out of the way.

    I've done a multi-weekend sentence before, and it's quite odd. During the week I was either at home or working, with "essential shopping" being allowed. I had to report any and all movements by phone, telling where I was going and why (if it wasn't home or work), how long it would take to get there, and once I arrived I had to call and say how long I was expected to be there and repeat the process whenever I was done, and an officer could and would stop by at random times to make sure I was where I said I was. On the weekends I went to jail, had to do the whole processing in process, get dressed in jail clothes and check my property into storage,, get assigned a dorm and bunk and all that, and then do the whole reverse process afterwards. I definitely saved a lot of money, like you mentioned lol. After the hell I had to deal with to exist for the time I was "out" for the weeks, I actually looked forward to going to jail for the weekend and reading a book or watching some sports, and playing cards and chess. Also get to meet some rather odd people and hear their stories or rantings lol. The jail side was slightly worse than the standard jail experience though, because Friday-sunday you only get fed two meals, and being in and out means you don't have the opportunity to make commissary. Plus you don't always get put back in the same dorm with the same people, so you're often somewhere with no one you know who you can get that extra bit of snacks or a meal from, maybe with some sort of arrangement to put money on their books. But I'd imagine some places have workarounds for that particular issue, just not where I was when I went through that lol.

And The wife was a very poor English speaker, and the police kept asking her leading questions to make it out into a hoax. Same thing with Falcon being left alone with investigators who asked him why his parents lied type questions.
    The whole cost of the rescue is why the family was being pursued to try and recoup the costs of everything, and the perceived public outrage. People should look up Internet Historians video if they’re interested.

      I started elementary school with his great-grandson but I didn't know the significance of Stand Watie until I was an adult. It was a small country school in northeastern Oklahoma which no longer exists. A handful of the kids I started school with were fluent in their Native language and spoke very limited English. The first curse words I learned were in the Muskogee (Creek) language and my first child crush was a Native girl. My fascination with Native American culture has lasted my entire life. My father was culturally white but purportedly 1/8 Cherokee which would make me 6.25% Native American. Interestingly, my DNA profile through two different companies showed about 10% Native American ancestry. It was very common in the 19th and early 20th centuries for Native women married to white men to deny their ancestry and apparently there is some of that in my lineage. Kind of a long way of saying...yeah, Stand Watie would make a good study for Biographics.

    Simon, in Czechia, you actually can just take a photo and drive the car away, if the damage is minor and you and the other guy decided not to call cops. You just file a form together (you are supposed to have one with you in the car) and then both of you file it with your insurance company. I did it just a week ago, I filed it online (you don't even need to attach ta copy of the form, altough it's better, you can just fill the info from the paper to the online form) and it was done in twenty minutes.

      @@MaddMaggs It should be in every vehicle in Czechia, and it's a self-copying form (you write in one, text is copied on the one under it, altough with worse quality) so both you and the other guy have one for your insurance company. Altough I used all mine years ago and forgot to pick up new one.

      @@richardaubrecht2822 In America we call those forms carbon copy forms after the active ingredient in the original forms, by the way. It's where the term _CC_ comes from, as in the line after the To line in an email header.
      This is just in case you didn't know, since it sounded like you were describing something rather than using the term for it. The British term might be the same.

    What I've never understood about the whole balloon boy thing is how the hell did people spend $2Million and however many hours trying to mount any kind of rescue mission without anybody ever pointing out that if the kid was inside the balloon he was absolutely 100% dead.

    You briefly mentioned "Winston Churchill's involvement - no that would be too interesting" - This evening my wife asked me if I could invite any five people to a dinner party - good ol' WC was the first on the list. Dude was an absolute legend in the most grandiose sense. Others included Jesus, an Aramaic-to-English translator, David Bowie, and Bill Clinton.
