Plastics (Encore)
At the 1862 London International Exhibition, an inventor by the name of Andrew Parkes introduced a new product based on cellulose that he called Parkesine.
Little did he know that this material which could be made elastic when heated and molded into almost any shape imaginable would be the basis for an enormous percentage of the materials in common use in the 21st century.
Learn more about plastics, how they were invented and how they are used in the modern world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In June of 1314, Scottish forces under the command of Robert the Bruce squared off against an English army led by King Edward II.
The battle was the culmination of years of English intervention in Scotland after a succession crisis.
Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Scots won the day, earned their independence, and firmly established Robert the Bruce as king of Scotland.

The Plan Dog Memorandum (Encore)
In 1940, much of the world was at war, but the United States wasn’t. A strong isolationist sentiment kept the US on the sidelines while Germany and Japan ran roughshod over their neighbors.
While the US wasn’t in the war, many people in the US military knew that it was only a matter of time before we got sucked in.
Over a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a plan was developed for just that eventuality.
Learn more about the Plan Dog Memorandum on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Canadian Football
In 1903, the Ontario Rugby Football Union adopted a set of rules for their sport which were codified by Thrift Burnside, the captain of the University of Toronto football team.
The rules were major changes to the game of rugby and were largely based on the rules created by Walter Camp for use in American football in the 1880s.
However, with those rules, a new game developed that was neither rugby nor American football.
Learn more about Canadian Football, its origins and how it is played on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Spartacus and the Third Servile War (Encore)
In the year 73 BC, Rome faced one of its greatest threats to its existence. An army of over 100,000 liberated slaves rose up in revolt and threatened the very fabric of the Roman Republic.
The revolt was led by a gladiator slave who lead his motley army and, to the astonishment of Rome, managed to defeat many Roman legions.
The end of this rebellion resulted in one of the most horrific displays in all ancient history.
Learn more about Spartacus and the Third Servile War, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Piltdown Man Hoax
In 1912, a discovery was announced that shocked the world. A British paleontologist announced what was perhaps the most important find in the history of paleontology.
The announcement was about the discovery of a fossil, which was claimed to be the missing link between apes and humans.
It was a groundbreaking discovery that, if true, would rewrite what we knew about early humanity.
Unfortunately, it was all fake.
Learn more about Piltdown Man and what was perhaps the biggest scientific hoax of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Customer Reviews
Great tidbits of info, opening up some rabbit holes.
Started at episode one, reached Jan 8 2022 today. You noted a correction in the show about there being car with odd number of cylinders. It may be corrected in my future listening. That of course is your past. None the less there are numerous 3 cylindered cars. Perhaps most notable (perhaps only if you are a fan) the Pontiac Firefly.
Ding ding ding!
After months of binging, I’ve finally made it. As of 30 seconds ago, I am the newest member of the canadian chapter of the Completionist Club. Thank you, Gary, for all that you do and for making what seem like even the dullest topics absolutely fascinating.
I’m an avid crafter, do you think you’d ever do a show on the history of art forms like knitting, crochet, or embroidery? Love the show, can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode!

As of right now I am in the completions club
