No Such Thing As A Fish - 134: No Such Thing As Sauce For The King Of Sweden

Episode Date: October 8, 2016

Live from Up The Creek in Greenwich, Dan, James, Anna and Andy discuss virtual grouse shooting, stolen Van Gogh paintings and what happens after you win a Nobel Prize.

Hi, guys, just before we start this episode, just to let you know, we will be recording the first episode of series two of No Such Thing As The News next week, and we're recording that live on Tuesday. And for the middle section of the TV show, we would like to use the most interesting facts that you guys, our audience,

has learned from the news over the past seven days. So if you've seen anything interesting in the news, tweet it to atqipodcast, email podcast at qi.com, or post it up on the No Such Thing As A Fish Facebook page. And we'll pick our favourites and use them in the middle of the show. OK, hope you enjoyed this show, which is a recording of the dummy run for No Such Thing As A News, that we did live last week on with the show.

Now, hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing As The News, coming to you from up the creek in Greenwich, London. My name is Dan Schreiber, and I'm sitting here with Anna Czciński, Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Once again, we're here to present the most interesting stories we found in the news of the last seven days. And in no particular order, here we go, starting with you, Czciński.

My fact this week is that one of these stalls at the Conservative Party Conference this week is a grouse-shooting simulator. Sort of normal, ordinary thing for struggling families. So, this is in the mirror, in fact, so a mirror journalist went around the Conservative Party Conference and made a list of the most Tory things at the Tory conference, and that, unsurprisingly, made the list.

Well, the grouse simulator, you obviously saw what it looks like. It's like a little thing that you attach on this kind of fake gun, but you can attach it on your own gun, if you want to, if you're so inclined. And also... How many people at the Conservative Conference went, oh, actually, I've brought my own gun! And actually, there's a lady called Danka Bartekova, who's Slovakian, who used this grouse simulator

when she was training for the London Olympics, and she won a medal at the London Olympics. Really? Yeah. Oh, cool. So, it's a useful and interesting thing, not just a chance for landowners to show off their shooting prowess. I have to say, reading about the Tory party conference, I just thought it looked so fun.

It looked... Like, I know, like, politically, you could sit on either side, but as an event, it looked so much fun. And I went on Twitter and I thought, I wonder if people are tweeting about this, saying this is really fun. And they weren't. So many people were just... Cos it was a hashtag, CPC16, and I put CPC16 fun. I just came up with all these tweets going...

If you had searched CPC16 crap, you would have got a lot of things that would have said it was crap. Well, I searched CPC16 boring, and actually, today, there was a lot of boring stuff going on, mainly about Hammond's speech. I don't know if you heard about Hammond's speech. So, there were a few tweets that I saved, one that said,

Hammond's so boring, TFL wants to use him on the tunnels for the London Crossrail project. Good. And then on the fun side, because there were lots of fun tweets, this guy said, fucking hell, it's 1.30 in the morning, and I'm listening to two men arguing about the Turnstile Act of 1963. The CPC16 is so fun, it aches!

LAUGHTER I think you might be missing a note of sarcasm instead of the one with the history of that. I am here to tell you, having been to a party conference or two, that they are all lying. The people who want to be promoted within the Tory party are going, so it is not in their interest to go, this is a fucking waste of time, isn't it?

I think they have to say, I'm having the time of my life. I don't know, because there was an owl that you could hold on your arm. LAUGHTER A real owl. Unfortunately, a lot of Tories brought their own guns and the owl didn't. It was a mix-up, they shouldn't put those two things next to each other. One person I'm not sure he was having a great time

is Camden councillor Johnny Bucknell, who spent the conference sleeping in his car. And what he thinks is, these conferences shouldn't be held in big cities where all the hotels are really expensive, they should be held in Blackpool, where it's £10 a night or something. That's what he said. And so I looked at the other things that he's done in the last year or so, and this is all that's in the news about him.

He was fined £30,000 for being a shoddy landlord, and he was told off for eating roast duck during a town hall meeting. LAUGHTER After which, he vowed to campaign for the right to have a roast meal during meetings. LAUGHTER Do you know what you could get at the Lib Dem conference this year? There's another bit of merch. A seat?

LAUGHTER I think you'll find, James, seats are the one thing the Lib Dem police struggle with. LAUGHTER No, they also have... I mean, all the party conferences have their own merch, but at the Lib Dem conference, you could get branded 18th birthday cards Lib Dem-themed in a pack of 50...

LAUGHTER ..for someone who has 50 young nephews or nieces. Don't worry, darling, you can sell them to pay off your student loan. LAUGHTER It was the Looney conference this week, earlier this week, for the Monster Raven Looney party. They held it in Blackpool at Uncle Tom's Cabin Pub. And I went on the website and they had a whole load of things

that was going to happen there, and they said, very sorry to say that Vince Cornwall and his rodent rat show will not be appearing this year. Vince has had surgery and been told to take it easy, although he is open about and will be attending with Andrew the Rat. LAUGHTER There was an incident at the UKIP party conference, which was in September.

One of the failed leadership candidates called Lisa Duffy went out for dinner. The conference was in Bournemouth, and the place was raided by immigration officials who wanted to check the visa status of the people working in the restaurant. And apparently, the chef, she said, ran away into the night. So she said, watching our chef running away into the night, his apron flapping in the wind, was a surreal moment.

Turned out they were all completely legally working in the UK, so I have no idea why he ran away. LAUGHTER Could be the idea of having to serve a whole bunch of UKIP candidates. LAUGHTER The journalists and politicians have a football match at every Labour and Tory party conference, which I didn't realise.

So this year, the lobby 11, which is the team of journalists, played the Tory MPs. And the Tories lost 5-2 this year. In 2014, they lost 7-2. That's because they're all on the right wing. LAUGHTER Another thing that's been in the news and is related to football this week is the Hungarian referendum.

So this is a referendum as to whether Hungary wants to allow the EU to force that they take in. Only another 1,300, I think, asylum seekers, and they voted against it. But the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, who brought this referendum, is a former footballer, and he features in the 2006 edition of Football Manager. So if anyone has that, he's there.

He plays for Falksut FC. He... Yeah. Speaking of games and also simulators, the top app at the moment is a simulator. This is PewDiePie's YouTuber simulator, where you get to pretend to be a YouTuber. It's a great game. What, so you wear a simulator

and you're just looking into a camera and going, oh, my life's so crazy, I just... Amazingly, it's even more boring than that. You're a character on your phone and you're in your bedroom with a computer and you have to make videos. You don't get to really make videos, you just get to pretend to make videos.

And then they get views and you get money for that and you can buy more things to decorate your bedroom with. Your fake bedroom. Your fake bedroom, yeah. I played it this morning, which is why my research is a bit kind of short this week. No, I made a video. It got 13 views and three subscribers,

and it got me enough money to buy a cardboard box to put it in my bedroom. And then I had to wait for it to get delivered, and it said it would take 30 seconds and my app crashed, and it took me three minutes, and then I just got bored and I stopped playing. And this app is made by the same people who made Goat Simulator,

a game in which players can drag things, wiggle things, throw things and lick things. I think it needs to be specifying what things. There's a new virtual reality simulator out as well, so you put it on your head, and what it is, the game is your lonely cow in a field. Yeah, genuinely. And there's no other cows, and people come and they taser you

and force you into a truck, and it's meant to raise awareness about how cows are being treated in the world today. It doesn't sound that fun, does it? Well, the pictures look amazing because you're on all fours, and you're just walking around your living room, occasionally going, wow, when you're tasered. And there's another one where you can be a piece of coral.

It's another virtual reality simulator, and you sit and you're a piece of coral, and you watch the reef decay from acids that are let into the water. The one thing I know about coral is they get most of their nutrients from urine. So, parents, don't buy this game for your children. We need to move on in a sec to our next fact.

Anything before we do? Just back to politics, one thing. So, there's been an election in Brazil for the mayor of São Paulo, and the man who has won is the host of the Brazilian version of The Apprentice. Oh! Yeah. I know.

What are the chances it'll happen twice in one day? OK, it is time for fact number two, and that is Andy. My fact is that comets sound like a cross between a cat and a dolphin. You mean the noise that they make? I mean, the noise they make. So, this week, the comet 67p Churiurumov-Gerasimenko,

the Rosetta satellite has probe... We call it probe. Probe? Probe. It's weird when people shout probe at you. I'm used to it. OK. So, they've gathered so much data from this comet that they never had before, and one of the things they found is it gives us this low-frequency hum,

and they're not exactly clear why it might be because it has charged particles in the gas and the dust jets that it gives out, and I think we can play it. This is a sped-up version of it, because it's normally below the range. That's kind of dolphin-y. I think it's a dolphin. Yeah.

Imagine it but more like a cat. Imagine pressing it together. It sounds like a cat purring a bit. Anyway, that's the noise it makes. I think it does sound like a cat purring. Yeah, more than a dolphin, in fact. But that is very sped-up, isn't it? So, actually, it's like one of those noises

every 20 minutes or something. Dolphin that clicks very infrequently. Have we had to manufacture that sound? Yeah. So, they're picking up signals of what the sound should be generating. That's a recreation. That's someone in TV

when you have to make boot sounds on the ground. They're trying to do... What? Comet? That's another... Can't be a dolphin. Yeah. Yeah. It's not quite that.

They've copied and pasted the vibrations Actually, doesn't it smell like cat pee? Yeah. And it looks like a duck. I'm wondering if this is a comet at all. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a dolphin and a cat, and smells like cat urine,

it's Comet 67P. Do you know we don't know if it changed its tune, though? So... How these comets have been studied before, and it makes a completely different song when it gets closer to the sun. And so, we're still waiting on the data to come back

as to whether the tune now sounds more like a duck or a giraffe or whatever, weird, and we want to compare it to. Hey, speaking of Halley's Comet, do you know when the next time we're going to see Halley's Comet is? Oh, well, the last one was when...probably when I was a teenager, so it'll be another probably 45s,

probably 6 years, something like that. Hmm. October 20th. Oh. Yeah. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE And I'm older than I think. No, I've just got the word hubrit in my notes here. LAUGHTER

You could send me 50 birthday cards. I hope you like Tim Farron. LAUGHTER No, what this is is that Halley's Comet, when it flies by, it obviously leaves a trail behind it. And so, on October 20th, we're going to come into the path of the debris trail that it left behind when we saw it.

And so, if you're in the north of Wales, October 20th, and it lasts for quite a long time because it's a long trail, you'll see meteor showers coming in and you'll be able to watch the debris of Halley's Comet coming in, and it happens every year. That is great. I don't know if it counts as seeing a comet

if you're seeing what it's excreted as it's passed by. It's not like walking into a room two years after someone fasted it. LAUGHTER Terry, hi! So, this thing, so, just back to the comet quickly, they've discovered a lot of stuff. So, for example, they discovered a new kind of carbon,

which was really complicated, not like the kind of carbon that we're made of. And there was an interview with a team member of Rosetta called Evie Cotton. He said, It is so complex, we can't give it a proper formula or a name! LAUGHTER

It's so complex... LAUGHTER They won't even name it! Do they keep trying? They're like, we'll call it... LAUGHTER Have we said why this isn't the news this week? Rosetta, which is the probe which went around the comet,

it's crashed into the comet and it's the end of its life, isn't it? It's not actually the end of its life, it's just cut off its phone conversation with us. It's kind of hubristic of us to assume that it's now dead. Well, that's true. You see, because it's like solar powered, isn't it? They were thinking,

well, maybe we could just kind of land it softly and then next time it goes near the sun, it can power up again. Well, they weren't sure if that was going to work. And then so one of the scientists at the ESA, Matt Taylor, said they'd rather go out in true rock and roll style and crash into the comet. It's weird that he said that

because they crashed into the comet two miles an hour. LAUGHTER That's walking pace. It's strolled into a comet. The most interesting thing for me about the whole thing is that we did find out amazing information about the makeup of comets and so on and they think that there might be bits of it

that suggest how life may have arrived on Earth. But for me, what's really interesting is on the actual probe, Rosetta, they included a thing called the Rosetta disc. I don't know if you remember Voyager years and years ago, had a golden disc on it that had songs from Earth languages. Exactly. So they've created a 7.5-centimeter nickel disc

that has 1,000 languages on it. It's basically, it's nickel, and you can use a microscope to head in towards and you can read 1,000 languages. So for a second time, we've ceded the idea of language that may die very soon into the universe, which is quite cool. It will just sit there. All the aliens that have just finished building a record player.

LAUGHTER Great, finally we can... Oh, wait, something... Oh, what's this format? LAUGHTER Rosetta took 116,000 photos on the mission and it sent back 218 gigabytes of data and... I don't even say it sent back 218 of them. Like, it's taken a selfie. No, no, no, no.

LAUGHTER It sent back 218 gigabytes of data and I worked out that what that would be is 872 copies of the film Deep Impact. LAUGHTER The only version I could find of the film Deep Impact online was dubbed into Tamil, so it might be slightly more or fewer. Speaking of Deep Impact,

I was surprised that no one has got angry about the fact so far that Rosetta has gone into the actual comet because in 2005, NASA crashed their probe Deep Impact into a comet called Tempel 1 and an astrologer tried to sue NASA saying that they had upset the balance of the universe. Well, all of these horoscopes are bollocks now, aren't they? LAUGHTER

OK, so we're halfway through the show and it's time to look at the stories that you've sent into us via emails and social media, starting with James. OK, this one comes from David Smith. It's at DVD Smith on Twitter and it comes from The Independent. A Russian children's charity has had a million flyers printed

asking people to exterminate beavers. That's due to a misprint. It should have read, Do Good. LAUGHTER Anna? This is a tweet from At Eye of Siva and it comes from the Florida Sun Post and it's the story that a 68-year-old man

who married a 24-year-old woman only to discover when looking through family photos that she's his estranged biological granddaughter said they have no plans to divorce. He said, I've already had two failed marriages and I'm determined not to have a third. And finally, Andy. My factors have been sent in from Kenzie Lee.

An employee of the Canadian Mint is currently on trial, accused of smuggling £100,000 worth of gold out of the building in his rectum. He kept on setting off the metal detector when he was leaving and they kept on doing a sort of pat down search, you know, nothing there. And then they found some gold pucks and a tub of Vaseline in his locker

and he maintains that this is completely circumstantial evidence as well. Anyway, here's at the moment innocent until proven guilty. Until proven really weird. OK, it is time for fact number three and that is James. OK, my fact this week is that Nobel Prize winners always immediately return their award so they don't lose it in the subsequent party.

It makes it sound like as soon as they get the award, it kicks off. So I think the key to the fun that they have, because they definitely do have fun, is that they made sure that every year 200 of the 1,300 seats there are allocated to students from the uni. Yes, so that's what it is and a lot of the parties

are led by students. So the best part of the Nobel Prize ceremony apparently is the after party and it's called Nobel Nightcap. Do you know what they make the Nobel laureates do? They induct them into the order of the ever-smiling and jumping green frog. And everyone, like Richard Feynman, was a part of it. Richard Feynman was really excited because as well as playing the bongos,

he's an amazing physicist. Most people just know him as a bongo player. He was involved in science as well. And they gave him one of these awards and he was really excited because he does an awesome frog impression. So he was like, ah, finally, can bust this out of this. And it's not weird. And so what they do is they get people who've won the prizes,

usually in physics, they have to leap like a frog and they also have a massive paper mache frog that they have to carry all the way back to the origin place of the frog. So people who've just won the biggest award in science can be seen at 2am with a huge paper mache frog. Or a real one.

So it changes every year, the formalities, and sometimes it's a person dressed up as a frog. Right. They mix it up all the time. Of course you say physics and it is the Nobel prizes this week, isn't it? Yes. And the physics prize has just been won by three British people. Yeah. Which is great. So there is a lot of partying and it is very fun,

but there also is the actual ceremony bit, which is very serious. And so all Nobel laureates get a course in how to receive the actual prize from the king. So there was actually a British Nobel prize winner called Paul Nurse, and they use his video as an example of how not to accept an award. He got his medal turned around and held it up

like he'd won the World Cup in football. Classic Brit. And they edited that out from his winning video. And they apparently show that in the demonstration of how to receive it by how not to receive it. He could have done worse. He could have been like Canute Hansen,

who won the 2020 Literature Prize. You don't need to tell us, James. He got drunk and he pulled the whiskers of an elderly Nobel committee man. And then he snapped his finger against the corset of his fellow laureate, Sigrid Unsett, and shouted,

It sounds like a bellboy! It was a different time. So they give you the actual gold medal when you win. And for some reason the economics one is very slightly larger than all the other five. It is ten grams bigger, isn't it? No explanation. So there was a guy called Brian Schmidt

who won the 2011 Prize for Physics for discovering dark energy basically. And he went to visit his granny. She lives in Fargo, made famous obviously by the film and the TV series. And then on his way out at the airport, it was in his laptop bag and it came up on the screen

as this completely black disc is made of gold. And the airport guys were a bit freaked out. And he reported the conversation they had. He said, they're like, sir, there's something in your bag. He said, yes, I think it's this box. They said, what's in the box? He said, a large gold medal. They opened it and they said,

what's it made out of? And he says, gold. And then they said, who gave this to you? And then he says, the king of Sweden. They say, why did he give this to you? He says,

because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating. At which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humour. Then he tells them it's a Nobel Prize and he says, and their main question was, why were you in Fargo? He could have saved a lot of problems

if he smuggled it in his rectum. It's big though. At least it's not the economics one. As well as the medal, you obviously get the massive cash prize that goes with it. Why is it like a million dollars? Well, it fluctuates. I've read this article

where they talked about how people who've won the Nobel Prize, how scientists have spent the money that they've won. One interesting one was Albert Einstein who gave his money over to his first wife. He gave it in 1921. That's when he won it, but actually he signed it over to her and they were divorcing in 1919.

So he said, if I ever win the Nobel Prize, you can have the money in the divorce and then he won it and she got the money, which is amazing. You don't have the banquet. For the 1300 guest banquets, incredible. And sometimes there's major goss

from the banquet. So I was trying to look for a scandal at the banquet and get this, guys. This is according to the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. Last year, the biggest scandal was a minor faux pas, which meant the king was last at his table

to be served the sauce for the main course. Wow. It's amazing when you get that inside scoop. Hey, in banquet gossip, I have to say... I don't think it's going to cap the sauce incident. You're right. It goes alongside it. So there's this blog written by a former

planning secretary for the banquet talking about the issues she'd come up against. And one of the things is a seating plan, which is very difficult with 1300 people. So obviously a lot of colleagues attend together because they're in the same science research group. And she says eating plans do sometimes request that they be seated as far

from their colleagues as possible. People have said. There was one a few years ago where an American attendee and a Swedish attendee who didn't know each other were sat next to each other and they're still married today. So that's nice. So nice.

And there was one where one of the Nobel laureates invited his ex-wife and his wife and apparently the Nobel committee received strict instructions to seat the ladies as far apart as possible without any possibility of eye contact. Oh, okay. It was the peace prize. OK, it is time for our final fact of the show

and that is my fact. My fact this week is that two recently recovered stolen Van Gogh paintings would buy you enough cocaine that you could snort a continuous line from here to Moscow. And you'd still have a bit left over

for when you get there. So the reason that we know this is that two, you might have seen in the news this week, two very famously stolen Van Gogh paintings which were taken back in 2002 from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam were recovered and they were found in Italy,

near Naples, in the property of a famous cocaine mafia cartel and the idea is that they were using these paintings as currency. So we found out how much one Van Gogh would be worth. We doubled it and then we worked out how much cocaine

that would be equivalent of. It's a shame that you have to make this swap because once you've given away the paintings you've got nothing to snort the cocaine off of. Because that's the most rock and roll moment of your life. When these two paintings disappeared, they

actually found the people that they thought may have stolen it. There were two people since prison, weren't there? Yes. The main one was called Octave Durham and he was known to the police as the monkey because he was so good at evading arrest. As monkeys are.

People tried to slap the cuffs on the monkey, of course. I checked and actually only two monkeys have been arrested in the last year. One was for harassing locals in Mumbai and the other was after a high-speed chase in Washington state.

He was sitting on the back of the guy who was driving so it hardly seems fair and they did let it go quite quickly afterwards They were filling the rest. They never recovered the paintings from them but they assumed it was them because at the site they found their DNA on the ropes, on the ladders

and on both hats that they left behind. Like a monkey wears a hat. The banana peels everywhere. One of the things is that they got four years jail sentence and they were denying it obviously and they thought maybe the reason they hadn't admitted to it and probably played against them in the trial

is the fact that Dutch law states that if there is a stolen bit of art and it's missing for 30 years whoever is in possession of it owns it so they thought that they were going to wait 30 years and then go oh look what we found and then and legally that's fine.

It's incredible isn't it that that might be true. They own it but would they still go to prison for committing the crime? Well they did the time I guess. For the theft. Apparently all these old laws date from the time when Amsterdam and Rotterdam were massive ports where people could

steal things and then just disappear and so they have a load of kind of slightly weird arcane laws that still are on the statute books. We have a law about that. We have a finders keepers law where if you find something, have it into the police and then a few weeks later it's been unclaimed. You get it. Is there a losers weepers law?

LAUGHTER There has been another development in art theft news so the FBI has a top 10 art crimes list which I didn't know and one of them is a theft in 1990 from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston

and this year the FBI dug up the garden of a mafia boss called Roberto Gentile to try to find it. They didn't find any of the paintings that were missing and this is the evidence they've got against him. He did a polygraph test which assessed the likelihood he was telling the truth about not being involved at less than 0.1%.

He was found to have a handwritten list of the stolen artworks and their values and he was recorded telling an FBI agent he had two of the stolen paintings. This is the biggest ever art theft in the US and the way they did it

is so movie star style. They dressed up as policemen, these two guys and they turned up and said to the security guards hey we got a call about disturbance in this art gallery full of priceless things can we get in and so the security guards let them in

and then as soon as they'd been let in they said in your face this is a robbery in fact I think they were quite polite about it they did the classic thing they said gentlemen this is a robbery and then tied them up and stole the stuff. Kim Kardashian got robbed and they reckon that might have been the

Pink Panther gang and they really have lots of these kind of tricks like sometimes they get away on bikes dressed as women and sometimes they get away in speed boats and one time so they didn't get spotted they put wet paint signs on all the benches nearby so no one would sit on them

and always with the theme tune da-dum da-dum da-dum da-dum I read an interesting story about Art Heist so there was a story about a guy who he was called Radu Dogura and he stole $26.38 million worth of art

and so he was caught and he was going to trial and he said that he was willing to divulge where all of the art was the only condition was that he got a Dutch trial instead of a Romanian trial because it turns out that the laws are different in every different country for how severe a sentence you get

for stealing art and the Dutch laws are way less severe than they are in Romania where they're extremely severe so it's a difference between four years in jail and 20 years in jail so I looked for the best place to steal art from and and it turns out

it's on Norwegian cruises okay so a guy, a Kentucky native called Kevin Hudgens he recently stole, it was a copy of a Rembrandt still worth about 13,000 American dollars and he stole it but he happened to steal it while the cruiser

he was on docked in Bermuda and in Bermuda they just don't care it's fine and his trial because wherever the boat docks that's where you are the law of and so he got fined 500 dollars for stealing it as opposed to 20 years in jail had he docked in

Romania for example so if you're on a cruise and there's a good bit of art check out where you're docking don't get a cruise to Romania but if you're heading to Bermuda have a look at the walls on the ship I mean Romania is it's not completely Langloct

there's not that many cruises go there at all has anyone else been researching cocaine news just quickly on that so this is a story from last week in Seattle the police got handed a suitcase which had been lost and they said well let's look inside and see if we can find any clues

to whoever might have owned it they opened it up, they found 31 bags of cocaine a scale for all the cocaine some marijuana in case you got bored of cocaine and a 19 year old man's ID card and mobile phone a little while after this

had been handed in a 19 year old man approached police saying he had lost his briefcase and he needed it back as it contained some extremely important paperwork oh man he was arrested because of all the cocaine

yeah I found one bit of cocaine news a new study scientists have found that cocaine makes fish feel drowsy yeah they gave some cocaine to some zebrafish and also they can take 100 times more cocaine

than mice can and a thousand times more cocaine than humans can wow but they're just blinking very very very fast that's slow, I guess yeah it slows them down oh yeah of course, bizarre there was another study on cocaine

last week actually so it turns out that it's not turning into cocaine news what kind of cocaine news do you want news, we got news the reason Andy's so anxious is that it's most likely his cocaine is cut with a flesh eating substance

so 65% of cocaine in this country is now cut with this thing called levamisol which literally rots human flesh and so yeah I know nice it's used by farmers to purge their livestock of parasitic worms usually but it also serves this extra purpose

and it keeps the weight off okay that's it that's all of our facts, just time to share with you the four stories that we didn't have time to get through during the show and we're gonna start with mine my fact is that North Korea has banned sarcasm because Kim Jong-un

is worried that people are only agreeing with him ironically okay mine is that the police in Utah have officially recommended against shooting random clowns Andy? this is from the Times of India a building in Massachusetts had to be evacuated

after residents complained about a peculiar smell which turned out to be caused by a man cooking urine in his flat finally Anna? yeah this is from the National Post of Canada and this is that after the official opening of a ring road in Edmonton Canada

on Saturday motorists were surprised by a large electronic sign announcing we done bitches that's all from me Andy James and Anna we'll be back again next week we've been no such thing as the news

good night
