The transcribed text appears to be a monologue from a video, where the speaker shares a series of interesting and unexpected facts. The speaker begins by mentioning a bet with the viewer about whether they would be surprised by the fact that ketchup, commonly thought of as a tomato-based sauce, has a very interesting history. The speaker explains that ketchup was originally made from fish, specifically fermented anchovies, and was brought from Asia. The British liked the sauce, and they tried to replicate it, adding mushrooms and tomatoes to create what was essentially a mushroom ketchup. It wasn't until the early 19th century that tomatoes were added to the seasoning, and fish ingredients were eventually abandoned.
The speaker then shares a fact about treadmills, explaining that they existed in ancient times and were used for pumping water or in a mill. In the 19th century, British engineer William Cavid invented the eternal ladder, a correctional device for prisons that was used for grinding corn or pumping water. Prisoners had to step on a top step to start a cylindrical mechanism while having no contact with each other.
The speaker also mentions a story about a terrorist attempt on an American Airlines Flight in 2001, where Richard Colbin Reid tried to detonate explosives in his shoes. The passengers and flight attendants managed to subdue him, and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing. This incident led to the rule of removing shoes during security checks at airports.
The speaker concludes by discussing the effects of the telephone on our lives, mentioning the dangers of carrying a wallet in the back pocket and the potential health risks associated with it. The speaker also mentions a study showing that ejection from an aircraft can lead to compression fractures of the spine and other serious injuries.
The speaker then mentions an educational platform called Netology, where they offer free courses in various fields, including IT and Python development. The speaker encourages viewers to register and take advantage of a promotional code to get a discount on paid online courses.
