Hello
Monday, and Monday means is did you know day so this week I am asking
did you no...................
Until
1818 shoes were interchangeable, yeah there was no difference between
the right and left shoes, what the hell is with that. Anyway it was
King George IV of England (of course England) who changed the
tradition by ordering that a set of boots be made to fit each foot
specifically.
The
first pop video was “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen in 1975
The
Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923 and in 1927 Walt came up
with the idea of a cartoon mouse call “Mortimer”, it was his wife
who convinced him to change the name to Mickey Mouse.
Vincent
Van Gogh, the world's most valued painter, sold only one painting in
his entire life, to his brother who owned an art gallery, the
painting was called “Red Vineyard at Arles”................
Interchangeable shoes- good for a hangover, bad for life...
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't think I would like that
DeleteGosh Jo-Anne, didn't know about the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI know weird
DeleteInteresting facts! I didnt know about the shoes...and Van Gogh only sold one painting
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine shoes being interchangeable
DeleteI knew about three of these and would disagree with the first pop video. I remember the Beatles having a crazy video that went with Strawberry Fields and another one back in the late 60s. It was before MTV was around. :)
ReplyDeleteWell you knew more then me
DeleteRicky Nelson used to make videos that played at the end of the Ozzy and Harriet Show. I don't know what year that was, but it was probably the late '50s or early '60s. There are a lot of arguments about who made the first video. I wonder if those shoes were comfortable because sometimes I get a pair of shoes and one shoe fits well and the other doesn't.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yeah I thought the video thing would have happened earlier and I can't imagine the shoes being comfortable but who knows
DeleteInteresting about the shoes. Must be uncomfortable for one of the feet. You all have a super day.
ReplyDeleteYeah can't imagine them being comfortable but I guess that would have been what people were use to
DeleteI'd certainly disagree about the first pop video. Maybe there were certain parameters as to how to define a "pop video" that would make the Queen claim legitimate, but I recall seeing many music videos in the sixties that could probably be considered in the pop video category.
ReplyDeleteGood call to change Mortimer's name to Mickey. It's catchier. One too many syllables in Mortimer and it sounds archaic.

Tossing It Out
Yes I also thought it would have been earlier but what do I know, Mortimer Mouse doesn't sound as good as Mickey Mouse.
