First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.

All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

Meet Jack the Baboon, pictured here in 1884 in Cape Town (South Africa), a monkey that worked as a railroad signalman for nine years and never made a mistake. He was trained by his crippled owner named Jumper (James Wide), who found him to be a very useful and intelligent work companion. Jack even earned a wage of 20 cents a day plus a half-bottle of beer once week, which for him, he was living the high life. Jack died in 1890 from disease, but he left a legacy, and his skull is now part of the Albany Museum's collection in Grahamstown.

Marilyn Monroe, believe it or not, posed in a potato sack in 1951! As one story goes, Marilyn attended a party at the Beverly Hills Hotel wearing a revealing red dress that a columnist labelled as "cheap and vulgar," adding that she would have been better off wearing a "potato sack." The public relations department at Twentieth Century Fox then capitalised on the situation by casting her in one. As these photographs demonstrate, the starlet was so beautiful that she could make even a potato sack look fabulous!

The Orgone Accumulator was a device sold in the 1950s. Its inventor, Wilhelm Reich, claimed it allowed a person sitting inside it to attract orgone, a massless "healing energy". However, when the FDA investigated, they noted that one purchaser, a college professor, knew it was "phoney" but found it "useful" because his wife sat quietly in it for four hours a day.
