At a printshop I worked at some years ago, one of the floor managers was trying to micromanage the press operators. He leaned over one of the operators, apparently to see what they were doing, and his tie slipped down and got caught by a roller in this huge room-sized commercial press -- this is why the press operators said they never wore ties hehe! Fortunately for him, it was a clip-on tie, so other than a sharp yank it just left him seriously spooked... unfortunately for him, they had to shut the press down for an hour to clear out the mess that one little tie caused with the rollers and paper feed. His replacement was a lot more hands-off :P About two or three years before I had started there, that same press had taken a couple of fingers off of another operator who was trying to grab or adjust something without shutting the press down first. The pressman who was telling us the story said it happened so fast and so smoothly that the operator didn't even realize what had happened at first, which is kinda crazy! o.O

As someone with a bit of knowledge of costume history, even though Blanchard lost his trousers, his junk was likely still covered. At the time men’s shirts acted as underwear. They were made of linen or cotton which absorbed sweat and could be bleached in the cleaning processes. Shirts (and for women, chemises) were frequently changed and cleaned (everyday) to reduce the need for laundering outer garments which helped maintain them for longer. Anyway, shirts were long and were wrapped between the legs to serve the same function as modern underwear (you can see this in a dressing scene in 2020’s Emma movie). Given the length of the shirt, Blanchard would have had his modesty covered on arrival.

After the restoration of the Hunley, they realized that the explosion that sank the other ship actually caused a shock wave that killed the crew. They didn't drown. They were dead from the moment (or so) of the warhead. That is why the sub wasn't found. It went FORWARD, not back.

The flying Pinto commercial actually had 2 cars...one that was flown and one that was in the commercial. In the commercial it looked like it was being backed into the plane wings. It actually was never mounted. My stepdad actually found the car that was in the commercial in a scrap yard. He bought it and brought it home then called the Ford dealership and took it to them and had it signed. He then sold it to a car museum.

A few things about the "Hunley" segment ... *The second sub, the "AMERICAN DIVER" wasn't discontinued due to design flaws ... it was swamped while being towed down the Mobile River in preparation for an attack. *Horace financed the PIONEER and AMERICAN DIVER himself. The third boat was one-third financed by Horace, one-third by E. C. Singer (an associate of Horace's in the Confederate Secret Service and yes, the sewing machine guy) and the remaining third to Singer associates R. W. Dunn, Guss Whitney (yes, the cotton gin guy) and J. D. Breaman. *Horace did not name the sub after himself. Singer named the third vessel the HUNLEY to honor Horace's devotion and efforts to his sub projects. *The lever that was stepped on didn't open any hatches, it was the control lever for the dive planes. They had just pulled away from the dock when the captain (not Horace) while still standing up in the forward conning tower, accidentally depressed the lever ... initiating a dive while the hatches were still open. *During the attack on the Housatonic, the HUNLEY was discovered by several lookouts before she got close. When they called for "Battle Stations", several men ran to the area of the attack and started firing at the sub. When the torpedo exploded, 5 union crewmembers standing directly above it were killed immediately and many others were severely injured. So it did kill some of the enemy. Keep up the good work ...

I am sure it was coincidental but this came out just under a month after the podcast "Ridiculous History" released an episode on the exact same topic titled "Inventors Killed By Their Own Inventions: Flyin' or Dyin'." This part of the podcast focusses on Flying machines (and goes over the first two you mentioned). Definitely worth a listen if you want to know more about that kind of thing specifically.

Molton Taylor from Longview Washington built a working Honda car powered airplane before the Pinto. It worked great, I used to see it fly over Longview when I was a kid, and my father (a pilot) went up in it with Molt. It is in the Boeing Air Museum in Seattle. It never went into full production, but it flew well and the plane part folded into a trailer the Honda could pull.

thanks for the effort you do!

Come on Joe, no mention of "The Man with the Golden Gun" with the flying car? Got 3 good belly laughs out of this one. Always a good start on a Monday. Keep 'em coming!

Marie Curie did not die due to her research but because she saved multiple lives as x-ray machine operator (at that time they did not use films but they observe image in real time on glass ).

LMAO!!! The forehead slap scene was epic!!! RIP Hunley!

Your sense of humour is very subtle, but hilariously funny. Well done.

I think we can add another one here

Guess you can add another now.

Not sure if you left out the usual background music on purpose but I didn't notice until about 3/4 of the way through, and kinda liked it without the music. Entertaining video too.

All right, finally, a full fledged video with content, insightful thoughts ! None of those "shorts" things.. I'm back in !

guess its time for #7

Gotta admit, i laugh at least one too many times. Am i a bad person? Also, Joe Scott is probably one of the only person on this platform to make the effort to pronounce things right in any language, yet still apologizes for his _bad pronunciations_ which are usually fine.

Great video as always!

Hey Joe, the scene when Han Solo smacks the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon to wake it up would have been perfect for the last segment! JAT! Great work as always, really enjoy all you do!

go ahead and add the ocean gate sub

I absolutely love old 20s people and propellers where they NEVER seemed to figure out you should generally cover spinning blades of death when at ground level near people! 🤣🤣

... modern helicopters can still kill bystanders with those spinning blades of death ... (and so can modern prop planes)

I remember reading about the Curies in Children's Digest 50 years ago. I still find it amazing when I learn that people have no idea who they were.

Hey Joe, do you think Nano Onions are going to replace graphene or just a tasty side dish?

Ok Joe...Why did YT suddenly recommend this video to me again? =P

I loved this one, had that "How Long Does A Severed Head Remain Conscious?" feel to it.

I gotta give a Big Like to Joe for his marvelous way of starting out some of his phrases 'on a high note', and his expressive expressions in his story lines. Good on you, Joe. It was a real fun & good presentation. No question, some accidental strangulations are just a bit downright embarrassing, re: Mr. Midgley, &, .......

Fun Fact, the first US ship sunk by a German submarine in WWI was also named "Housatonic". The SS Housatonic was sunk just two days after the announcement of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare and she was carrying grain from Galveston, TX to the UK and was sunk near the Isle of Scilly in the UK. She was boarded and warned before being sunk so all were evacuated before her torpedoing and were later rescued.

When I first read this I got the ships crossed up in my mind and I was trying to figure out why anyone would use a submarine to transport grain 😂
