Happy Leif Gerikson Day
Do you know what they don’t teach you in school? That they’re turning the friggen frogs gay.
grow hardly architect ewzhri presence awful pizza regular.
Holy shit I just got why Spongebob woke up that one time and said 'Happy Lief Erickson day. Heegatdingathdurgun'
WOW.
I was taught about the mad hatter problem
I knew about all of these except for the Olympics one. I also thought that the spy cat actually got hit by a car the first time it went out.
do a top 10 watchmojo videos
They still prescribe opiates for cough. Not full on heroin but very close. The syrup is good taste like bananas. The demonization on opiates is going to be another bad issue now.
Clearly I read too Damn much. Knew basically all the facts on this list.
I'm from the UK and I was taught about 6 things out of this list
Love the background music. What name is it?
Number 1. World War 1. I'm serious, in school, I never heard anything about the Great War. I had to do that by myself, people. It is a real shame on our educational system where a video game becomes a better history teacher than an actual history teacher.
Of course they wouldn't teach us something freaky like those lol
yall, happy Leif Erikson day doe
Most wierd thing of history click here to see – https://youtu.be/b2YRzaEeqBk
Wait, there were Russian spy kittens? So that's what t'rump meant by grab them by the ()! He wanted to capture Russian spies!
Fuoist
No one knows I exist….i demand to be on here
The school also never taught us that they are actually three or four races, and we still keep mistaken them from what we should call: ethnics, nationalities, and religious communities.
i call bullshit on the dance shit!
What about the battle of Castle Itter in World War 2?
I did learned about the great fire of londen in school
#1 also called momento morti
did u know they eat ass back in the day? back to you mojo.
Why do i keeping getting ads for schizophrenia medication?! Is youtube trying to tell me something?
i didn't learn a single thing from this list, step your shit up watchmojo
I already knew all of these, and not only did I learn some of them in school, I've TAUGHT a few of them.

In reference to #7. Maybe, but IMO Olympic art sounds just as good if not better. People will remember Usain Bolt, sure… but people can appreciate the art much better. It's tangible
The interesting thing about the post-mortem pictures is that everyone is slightly blurry except the diseased. This was due to how long pictures took.
Far more than "10" people died in the Great Fire of London, they didn't record the deaths of the poor.
In Britain we’re taught all of these facts. So I disliked the video because it does not have any sort of disclaimer
wtf was up with that intro?!?
My god the spy kitten thing just cruel why would anyone do that to a cat? This makes me want to protest against animal cruelty
cough
Seeing young Ryan gosling xD
I told Donald Trump all of this. You know how he replied…
FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!!
Cool list but I thought that post mortem photography was pretty common knowledge at this point. I have heard of it and seen it referenced so many times.
Oh, look, another list that nerds would know because nerds spend their time learning about new things that schools don't teach. Because of the large scope of history, some of this stuff isn't needed to be taught. Like, what history teacher is going to teach about female hysteria unless it was a college class about women and women issues. Btw, I used to teach American History, Leif Erickson is one of the first things taught.
We were taught about number 1 and learnt about life erikson (honourable mention) plus my science teacher briefly told us what hysteria was.
The only people who can't imagine taking heroin for a cough are those who have never had asthmatic bronchitis. I've been so desperate for a night's sleep without coughing to the point of gagging and springing my chest and abdominal muscles excruciatingly that I've wished I knew how to get ahold of some heroin.
