On the morning of August 7, 1974, the people of New York City woke up to witness one of the most incredible sights that the city had ever seen. 

Between the two towers of the New York World Trade Center, 1,350 feet off of the ground, was a man who was waking on a wire.

It was audacious. It was incredible. It was also totally illegal.

In the United States and Britain in the 19th century, there was a competitive activity that might have been the most popular sport in either country.

Tens of thousands of people would show up to witness it live and the top athletes got endorsement deals and had their own trading cards, and tremendous amounts of money was wagered. 

However, it wasn’t football, baseball, cricket, or boxing. 

It was competitive walking.

What did the first Chinese Emperor Qin, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Gengis Kahn, the Queen of Sheba, and all their contemporaries who lived when they did have in common? 

None of them ever ate a potato. 

The potato is a rather new addition to the diets of the old world, and one which revolutionized civilization. 

Learn more about the potato and how changed world history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

If you’ve been around long enough, you might have heard something being described as a white elephant. 

A white elephant is something that is a burden, usually costly, that you can’t get rid of.

Why did that particular color of that particular animal get picked to represent something so odious? 

Learn more about white elephants and why they came to represent what they do, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1696, the mathematician Johann Bernoulli posited a very simple question. Assuming no friction, what was the fastest shape for an object to slide down to go from point A to point B?

That simple question stumped some of the world’s greatest mathematicians.

The answer to that question isn’t what you think it might be, and it has some very interesting implications.

On September 13, 1848, a 25-year-old man named Phineas Gage received a horrific brain injury while working on a railroad in Vermont. The odds of anyone surviving such an accident were a million to one. 

Yet, despite astronomical odds, he survived his injury and he became a case study for neuroscientists ever since. 

Learn more about Phineas Gage and his incredible story, and how it helped us to understand the workings of the human brain, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

As an outsider, the British peerage system is really confusing. There are princes, dukes, earls, and barons. 

Some of the titles are hereditary, and some of them are not. 

The titles have a hierarchy, but is a viscount higher or lower in status than a marquess, and is a baron higher or lower than an earl?

Learn more about the British peerage system, how it works, and the structure of it all, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For centuries, humans have built canals to facilitate the transportation of people and goods. 

Usually, they are built to dramatically save time, like how the Panama and Suez canals can help avoid a trip around an entire continent.

However, there is currently a canal being built that is designed to replicate a natural feature that already exists. 

..and it might actually make sense. 

Learn more about the Istanbul Canal and why it is being built, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
