Songkran is a traditional festival celebrated in Thailand that marks the start of the Thai New Year. It is also known as the Water Festival, as it involves splashing water on one another as a symbolic gesture of cleansing and washing away the sins and bad luck of the previous year.
However, it has since evolved into something much more than a religious observance. It has become the world’s biggest water fight. 
Learn more about Songkran, the Thai New Year’s celebration, 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.
Learn more about the Battle of Bannockburn and its role in Scottish history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Battle of Bannockburn

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.

The Plan Dog Memorandum (Encore)

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.

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.

Spartacus and the Third Servile War (Encore)

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.
