this episode of Salmonella Academy is brought to you by Skillshare hey kid yeah you I just got off the phone with the big man upstairs and he told me that I need to clear a few things up around here so without further ado here's ten pieces of malarkey that you might still be spreading number one nobody was ever burned to death at the Salem witch trials of the accused fifteen died in prison 19 were hanged and one was squished to death that last one is way more interesting than any cremation by the way dude was
a badass his name was Giles Corey he was 81 years old and so done with the town of Salem's garbage that he wouldn't even dignify the trial with the plea so the town's stuck in between two boards and stacked rocks on top of him in an effort to draw out a confession but every time they tried to get something out of him all it would say was more weight this went on for three solid days until he finally died never giving any indication as to whether or not he was a witch one can only wonder
number two the og Buddha wasn't the obese guy that's boo die a Chinese folk character meant to represent matreya aka future Buddha now this shirt is double sad number three Buddha wasn't a god either he was just a guy named Gautama now the shirt is triple sad number four ever heard of a vomitorium turns out no it's not a place where Roman Nobles would go to make room for more pheasant spleen and lobster eyelids it's just a big entranceway to the calcium's that hoards of peasants would spew out of number five Washington never cut down
a cherry tree in his youth I don't get this one at all apparently it's supposed to paint the man in a good light somehow it's like Tyler what the hell happened while we were gone where's the tree in the front yard oh yeah that was me got bored just felt like vandalizing something you know hey what about my honest character number six the pyramids weren't actually built by slaves these workers were respected members of society they ate meat and worked in 3-month shifts and even got to be buried right next to the tomb after their
death matter of fact that's more than we can say for the people working on man's greatest achievements today if I spend years of my life helping to build the space station you're damn right I don't want the Salmonella memorial corpse receptacle floating along right next to it that would be amazing number seven the Great Wall of China is not the only man-made object visible from space I don't know where you got this one from first of all there's no way you could see it with the unaided eye the wall is like 30 meters thick at
most while the distance to outer space is generally recognized to be 100 kilometers up known as the Karman line to give some perspective that's like me holding up a standard size guitar pick from across the entire length of a football field and asking you what color it is also there are plenty of manmade objects that are way bigger in terms of local surface area than the Great Wall so even if it was visible there's no way it would be the only one number eight you might have heard this one before you know Hitler was a
jerk you know but hey he made the Autobahn so at least he was efficient actually Hitler didn't create the Autobahn it was already there he just helped expand it into newer territory in a similar vein Mussolini didn't make the trains run on time with most of Italy's infrastructure repairs happening before his rise to power in 1922 and even then they weren't nearly as punctual as he'd like you to believe so unfortunately you're gonna have to find something else to like about these fascists like Hitler's elegant way of speaking or the way Mussolini says spaghetti number
nine iron maidens weren't actual torture devices used in medieval times basically what happened is some archeologists in the 1800's saw an old metal coffin and some spikes and said yo wouldn't it be wildin if we put these things up in here so that way if someone goes in it they get poked in their bits you are a sick man Cornelius I like it into the museum it goes at least Iron Maiden was real they were as real as it gets still are don't you forget it number 10 Einstein never failed math he had mastered both
integral and differential calculus by the age of 15 99% chance this one was just made up to make glue eaters feel better about themselves well congratulations Dmitri looks like you failed pre-algebra for the third time Brady still can't graduate well a that means I'm still on par with famous smart science man so yeah worship me so it just goes to share that we've all got a lot to learn about the world around us that's why you need to go to Skillshare Skillshare is an online learning community with over 20,000 classes in technology design business and
