  1. “That’s weird.” Two words that, when spoken during a aircraft test flight, usually indicate that an unplanned, rapid descent is imminent.

  2. What would most people like to be able to say, honestly, upon their deathbed? “I have snow egrets.”

  10.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  Okay, level with us: what were you drinking? 🥤 or 🥃?

  11. Mine involved a trampoline. I caught a bad crosswind during final approach and broke my right mainwheel when I touched down.

  12. @Wafflemaster 5.0 When you think of a dynamite gun think of using compressed air to launch a pumpkin. Only the pumpkin, when it land, it do not go squish, it go BOOM.

  13. “We performed emergency surgery and saved this man’s life!” “Yeah but rules forbid emergency surgery even to save a man’s life. Be thankful we didn’t cashier you out.”

  14. So, lemme see if I got this straight: Almost 250 years ago a German military oboe player discovered a giant ball of gas in his bath while naked in his back yard, wanted to name it after GeorgeIII but got shouted down in favor of Uranus, and we still haven’t probed it?

  15.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  When will we have a THC podcast? Thirty minutes of purring and an occasional sleepy-mrfff would be a great accompaniment to our relax time

  16. @Gregory Malchuk Atropine is a medication used to treat certain types of nerve agent and pesticide poisonings.

  17. I’ve begun to regard “...that deserves to be remembered” in the same way as such “good night and Good luck,” “happy little trees” and “and that’s the way it is.” THG, who do you want to portray you in the biopic?

  22. Could you please produce an episode about how the various household battery varieties were developed and acquired their current designations?

  23. A) I didn’t know that “craft brewer” was defined that way. Is that formal / legally the definition in USA? B) 2:34 don’t all great stories involve...the 1/48 scale model F4U1-A on the shelf behind you? How about an episode about that aircraft? C) Absolutely stand your ground regarding pumpkin spice beer.

  24. I find it very hard to envision a monster like Stalin being a devoted and doting father. Instead, I think people like him view their children as an extension of themselves, which might explain their volatile reactions when the child does / believes something different from the parent. And I wonder how many children of history’s villains are more like Svetlana than their parents: wanting more than anything to find a place where nobody knows who their parents were, so they can be who they knew they are.

  28. Well, since Marines didn’t fly the A7, this story doesn’t really involve pirates.

  29. Or the RN destroying the fleet at Mers el Kebir, or the US and RN silencing Jean Bart at Casablanca, or the entirely different treatment and later career of Richelieu.

  30. To paraphrase the great Hacksaw Jim Duggan: “WYOOOOOOO!!!”

  35. I presume that the companies protesting counterfeit tamales may have decried “tamale pirates.” Cuz after all...

  36.  @joesterling4299  “Quizzical Woodchuck” would be an awesome name for a band.

  39. 5000 men across 74 ships, not even 70 per…imagine being one of just 80-100 sailors aboard SMS Konig or Derrflinger. Talk about “ghost ships.”

  45. We build with LEGO, but not very often and we don’t built anything meant to be where it is for an extended time. When we’re done, daughter is good about helping pack them away so she can move on to the next activity.

  46. @James Farris I can taxi, but I’ve become very fond of the ground and rarely am out of contact with it. Thank you for your concern. Be well, you and yours.

  47. @Shrikes It did. Thank you!

  48. This right here. Why was “denim blue” so prevalent that it has its own Pantone ID (17-4021 for Faded Denim, 19-4118 for Dark Denim) How did the pockets get their shape? Why do women’s jeans have few or no pockets? Who / what led the change in social perception that blue jeans are for laborers, thugs and (maybe a stretch but don’t all good stories involve) pirates, to runway wear?

  49. An uncommonly colorful shirt today, THG!

  50. Hello The History Guy, I think I speak for many when I say thank you for delivering three episodes per week. Could you please produce an episode about USS Cyclops and her three sister ships, all of which met with unfortunate (and for three, impenetrably mysterious) fates? Thank you!
