Highlight History One of the more interesting stories we've done, but unfortunately age restricted. So just thought would promote a little here as it's really good on the story of Hitler's niece, and how his many partners, including her, had a tendency to end their own lives, allegedly. It's a really interesting bit of history that's little talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mGf7... (1 year ago)
 
 
Highlight History Ben Franklin's detailed and very convincing and logical list of why elderly women are the best mistresses will never not be funny. Similar to how he managed to almost single handily get the American Revolution funded and significant just as critical military aid by otherwise seemingly doing nothing but staying up to all hours partying throughout the revolution. One of our favorite videos we've done in a while over on our sister channel TodayIFoundOut. (2 years ago)
 
 
Highlight History Like stunning real life aerial views and listening to super interesting aviation related stories while flying around? Well, you might enjoy the co-founder and head author / editor of TodayIFoundOut and Highlight History, Daven's, relatively new channel Higher Learning. :-) If that sounds interesting to you, here's a super interesting story about the first person to ever fly into a hurricane. Something he did on a whim simply because someone over breakfast said it couldn't be done and there happened to be a hurricane nearby. :-) (2 years ago)
 
 
Highlight History Public Service Announcement for all of you about to go play Monopoly with family over the holidays. There's a better way. And helps avoid anyone murdering anyone else when played correctly. ;-) (3 years ago)

Bad job: saturation diver
suteebaid9776 (4 years ago)
No amount of money could have ever convinced me to take this horrible fucking job, but I respect the people who took it.

Here’s me thinking who would even want to do that as a job but then the guy said they could earn up to 1,400 dollars a day and now I’m out here practicing my under water swimming technique

The embodiment of the saying: "If anything goes wrong, you won't even know it."

When your body's full of helium, you can't talk with people, but you can have sensational conversations with cetaceans.

"why did you quit?"

"Imagine living in your sealed world. Unable to escape, without certain death." Sounds like the life of Simon's writers in his basement.

Just think; divers didn’t know this at one point and had to literally experiment to find out what happens to the body.

As a kid I always thought it would be cool to be a deep diver or an astronaut. Then I learned about anatomy and how are bodies are specifically designed for land and ONLY land

"most gruesome death imaginable"

The only silver lining is; from their perspective death was instantaneous. Those who cleaned it up however ... probably have PTSD for life.

Gotta love how governments conduct their own investigations and find themselves "not guilty." Despite having all the money in the world to compensate a family for their loss, they still conclude that "it wasn't our fault."

My dad was a saturation diver for the Navy’s experimental dive unit. Thank god I never knew it was this dangerous! Luckily he retired with no issues!
