Hello and welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name's Andrew Hunter-Murray. I'm here with Dan Shriver and James Harkin, and we're here with your facts. You've been sending them in to podcast at QI.com. We've been receiving them. Let's tell you what we got. Who's got a fact?

I've got one. This is from Felix Weyer, and Felix's fact, is that in 1995, the German Democratic Republic, that is East Germany, won a bronze medal 4.5 years after it ceased to exist. riddle me this

consolation prize second prize in the Cold War Bronze is third place Okay I remember we did a fact Years ago about correspondent chess Where it took so long for you to receive the next move from someone Or for a game to end that countries dissolved in the meantime You know you might have been in Yugoslavia

Now you are no longer You are so close Right Because this is a fact about correspondence correspondence chess, where the games lasted so long that sometimes countries dissolved in the middle of them. No. Absolutely is.

I did it as a headline many, many years ago. Well, it's come back. But think of all the countries that didn't exist when we first did this fact. Yeah, well, this person actually wrote this in years before I said it on the show. It's just taken so long to get to us. So, yeah, the 10th Postal Chess Olympiad started in 1987, and it didn't finish. until 1995. And one thing I don't think we said on the day is that the last game was won by an East

German against a West German. And those two players were already competing alongside each other in a unified German team in the 11th chess Olympiad, which had begun in 1992. That's incredible. That's so good. I wonder, is there any other version where that can happen, where you are part of an old thing while you're in the new... Is there like a touring group of old sugar babes,

but you're also in the new sugar babes line up? That's a good idea. And so you're, yeah, you're doing two sets of shows. No is the answer to that specific sugar babes thing. Right. Yeah,

but that's not to say it hasn't existed anywhere else. Yeah, very exciting, I think. Really good. I got one. It's on sport. Okay,

while we're on that theme. This is from Mark Lindsman, who says, Hi, my name is Mark. I'm from Canada, a place where the sport of curling is very popular. My fact is, one of the all-time best Canadian curlers was named Sandra Schmerler.

And it rhymes with curler. Her nickname was the extremely apt Schmerler, the curler. Not Schmeller, because there's Fanny Schmeller, who is a famous skier. Again, another winter spot. Yeah, yeah. Fanny Schmeller. Fanny Schmeller, yeah. And she's most famous in the UK because on the TV show The Chase, Bradley Walsh struggled to say her name

without bursting into laughter and it goes spiral every now and then. Yeah, right. Beautiful. Oh, yes, I've seen that clip. Yes, that's brilliant. Well, it's claimed, and it was actually claimed by her, that she was the only sports person who had a name that rhymed with the sports she played. No chance.

It's really hard to Google this and try and work out, so I just stuck with curling. There's a darts player called John Patt, who used to play dart. Only used one. Sold. He was rubbish. You can only get a third of the score of it. No, that's incredibly good for off the cuff. That's very good.

Yeah, I thought, okay, I'll try and see if, is there anyone who rhymes with curling? And I found a Scottish curler called Jane Sterling. So, Jane Sterling does curling. Yeah, that's really good. She's telling does curling. But Jane Sterling only arrived, you know, she won a championship in 2017. So this is 17 years after Schmler the curler had passed away. Right.

So, yeah, but I sort of thought it is. really hard to think of that. This is a possible challenge that we could bring to Jewel. Anyone listening? Can you think of someone whose name rhymes with the sport they play? RIP the inbox. Okay, I'm going to set some ground rules. I want them to be exact rhymes, please. I don't want any art arts, fudges. It's a great question. Yeah. That's incredible, yeah. I am going to be silent for the rest of the show. Absolutely. Trying to think of Dominic Tugabe or whatever. Tugby League. I think there's also a dance player called Kevin Dutz who's like I think he's Dutch or something

Right that's pretty good It's almost there isn't it? Yeah, it is, yeah, yeah, yeah Should we knock out as well if their name is the exact word You know like Barry football shouldn't be allowed That's allowed? That's allowed? It's a right, it was a vibe

No, it's not It's not really I've got one This one comes in from Conrad Beruba What a great name Does he do scuba? There we go. Wonderful.

There we go. People won't believe that we haven't cut out in no other scarp in the room. We can confirm that was genuinely very quick. That's stunning. So this is about a scientist who works in an underground physics laboratory. Okay. And amazingly, the director of this Ray Bunker is named Dr. Ray Bunker. Yes.

Dr. Ray Bunker works in a lab. It's beneath Sudbury, Ontario. And it's called Snow Lab. And I just want to say, this lab is absolutely nuts. Is it to look for gravity waves and stuff? They're looking for wimps. Weekly intro. Well, they should have come to Holborn.

They're looking for weekly interactive massive particles, which is evidence of dark matter, isn't it? It's sort of... It is possibly, yeah. They're looking for dark matter, I think. Yeah. And they have to shield the bunker from all radiation,

which is why it's two kilometers underground. So it's in an old mine, basically, that they've had to excavate out. They also have gimps as well, I think, which is gravitationally interacting massive particles. Not in Canada, though. Surely not. There are no gimps in Canada.

Podcast at QI.com. Is it true that the word givation Gimp was invented for that movie where there's bring out the Gimp. Tarantino, isn't it? Yeah, Pulp Fiction. Really? I think, and I might be wrong, the word didn't exist until that movie. Interesting.

What was the Gimp? Someone in Bondage Gear? It was like in Bondage Gear, yeah. Like what we would now call a Gimp mask, which is like a zip in the mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Sorry.

No, no, no. It's good. It's all good stuff. But basically, to go in there, You are so radioactive that you have to change your clothes twice and have a shower before you go in. Because you need to wash all the surface radiation off and out of your hair and all of this. Wow. It's so crazy how clean they have to get the lab.

And it's to stop muons particles getting through that they put it so far underground. But just the scale of it, there are five Empire State buildings down underground. Cool. It's just so far. How do they get down? I would think like lifts. They get a lift. Did they?

I would have thought a lift wouldn't be able to go all that far down. They might have to get a couple of lifts. Some mines are so deep that you do need to get out of one left to get into another because the cable becomes so heavy that you can't turn. When you've got to stop and have your first shower and then get back in, presumably. The shower is not going to be just on the bottom floor, presumably. I didn't check exactly where the shower locations on. It would make sense to have a shower half.

If you're going to have to take two showers, you might as well have one halfway so the first showers had its effect while you're travelling. Exactly. I think you have to only have one shower but you have to change into mining clothes and then into lab clothes. So I think that's the purpose.

But again, we've tested my knowledge quite hard on this one. Speaking of showers and radioactive particles, I think there is a thing where whenever, if there was like a dirty bomb went off and there was radiation in the area, you're not supposed to use conditioner because that can make the radiation stick to your,

hair, I think. That's so funny if the person who's had two showers has just actually doubled the chances of them getting radiation when they're down there. I've got this head and shoulders. Is that okay? Because it's like half condition. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just use half as much as you normally would and that'll be fine.

Okay. There you go. So thank you very much, Conrad. That's very good. Very interesting. Here's one from Dick Berg. And Dick's fact is that the grandson of Napoleon Bonaparte's brother was nicknamed Charlie the Crook Chaser

and they invented the American Federal Bureau of Investigation. Oh, pretty cool. Napoleon, burn the past. Did you do this fact before that as well? I do remember reading about it, but I don't think we have ever done it. I must admit, I did half know it as well. Napoleon had a brother.

Yes, so Napoleon's brother was called Jerome and Jerome, I think, had children with an American woman and eventually came along this person called Charles and Charles served in the cabinet of Theodore Roosevelt and he was a US secretary of the Navy at one stage

at Bonaparte but then he established the Bureau of Investigation in 1908 and that later became the FBI which the FBI was actually started by what's his name

the guy who had the big damn Hoover so Hoover really did the FBI but it was based on this old B-O-I which was started by Charles Bonaparte. Wow. That's crazy. But I guess America and France have been allies for a long time.

Oh, yeah. Well, mostly because they both hate the English. That's right. But yeah. Quite notable, I mean, I know it's not Napoleon himself, but that's a very close connection. And the Secret Service was set up by Lincoln just before his assassination. There was a meet.

It was like one of the last meetings that he ever had was to set up the Secret Service. Right. Who did the CIA? You know? Stalin's granddaughter? Maybe. They wouldn't tell us if it was. That would be the first order of business That's very good

Very nice Shall I do another one I'm bringing us back to sport here Because Sam Bailey has said The first person ever to flip the bird In a photograph Was a baseball player called Old Hoss

Radbourne And it was in 1886 He was a baseball player Who There's this extraordinary Black and White team photo Where he's sat there Stonefaced

And he's just got his middle finger up It's the best He looks like droopy the dog It's just a total serious face And that's flipping the bird Flipping the bird In America they say flipping the bird Got it got it got it got it

Not familiar with that one I'm less familiar with it I wouldn't use it with total confidence Right Flip me the bird What would you call it Giving you the finger Gave me the finger

I'd say Yeah fingered me in extremis If I'm short of time That's what I'll say I actually think that might end up taking up more of your when you explain the difference between the two fingerings.

No, I'm going to drive up alongside him and finger him right back, actually. That's really cool. Yeah. Do we know for sure that that's what he meant? Well, it seems to be implied that that's the first example of it being caught. So I think the intention sounds as if it was. Interestingly, it was used in a Harold Lloyd movie as well called Speedy, which was in 1928. Harold Lloyd's character gives himself the finger.

your fingers himself is what you're saying in a distorting mirror at lunar park yeah uh sorry and does that pre that post dates it yeah but just surprising i would never have thought that like a charlie chaplain a buster keaton movie would have a swear word with a middle finger you know you don't see stan laurel giving it to hardy no i'm sure he wanted to um but i wonder if it was a thing that was not quite well known enough that everyone would have known oh that's very rude that should not be in the film. I wonder if it was like a little thing that some people would know.

Yeah. Yeah. On the other hand, it's just to represent a penis, right? Yeah. So you would think it had happened for time immemorial that people have been doing that.

I think we might have mentioned before that it's an ancient historical thing which shows the, and the bits of your fingers on either side represent the testicles. Right. Maybe. Yeah.

Because there's all the stuff about the V sign being supposedly archers, English archers, which I think is not true. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah. I think it was,

the people at the Battle of Hastings who were doing the yo-yo. To show that they hadn't had their yo-yo finger cut off, they would show it to the French. There's one interesting modern example of it being used in a place you might not expect it. And that is on a postage stamp. And this is the queen. No, the true queen. No, this is. If you look really carefully, you can just see it.

This is, it's a Ukrainian stamp. And it's commemorating a moment from the first day of the warward Russia where Snake Island was attacked by Russian missile cruiser. And there was a guard who was standing along the island. And the last communication with the warship that he had was Russian warship, go fuck yourself. And they've done a postage stamp of him standing looking at the cruiser just putting his middle finger up. And that's an official stamp now in Ukraine. Wow. Yeah.

Here's one from Orla Shortul. My fact is that the Sean O'Casey Bridge in Dublin couldn't work for four years because the remote control that opened it so ships could pass got lost. Did they check down the back of the sofa? They checked everywhere. It took four years to get a new remote control.

Yeah. I can't imagine that this is a key bridge for global shipping though. Do you know what I mean? As in surely they'd fixed it faster. I've a feeling it got you quite far down the liphy. It meant that quite a lot of ships couldn't get all the way to where they needed to go.

Really? If memory serves about this, because I do half remember the story. Yeah. There was an office move, and the remote control just got lost in the course of a move. You know what it's like. Everything's in boxes. Yeah, yeah, nightmare. And they just couldn't find it.

It was about the size of a normal remote control. Because it was a remote control. I don't imagine a remote control. Yeah. That's what this one was like. They should have made it much bigger because then they wouldn't have lost it. Should have made it much bigger. You're right.

That's great. So there's probably still some family over there who's sitting in front of the TV. His TV hasn't been working for 10 years. And they won't give up. Bloody, we've changed the battery. Just walk over to it. Just walk over. It's fine. Good exercise. Every time the chase finishes, they open the bridge by accident.

People are being pinged into the air. Okay, here is one more from me today, and this is from Mark Vent. And Mark says that William Grant and sons use dogs to make their whiskey. Any idea how? Are we riddling you this? If you like. How could a dog make whiskey? It could.

Is there something to do with, like, those dogs that used to turn meat by running around in a... Oh, that's good? A turn spit dog. A turn spit dog. Is it like that? Whiskey. Is it like that, as I don't say, the, you know, the civet coffee? Oh, yeah.

Where it's all been partially digested by a civet cat of the beans. So someone has to go through some dog shit to find what the hops? that they make the whiskey out. Well, it's grain, isn't it? So it's, yeah, I guess. A malt, yeah. Yeah, what I'm saying is. Do you think that would improve the taste of the whiskey?

I'm not a big whiskey fan. All the bolt has been shot out by a dog. That's it? Yeah. So it's small batch, obviously. They don't keep the dogs there. They have to collect the dog ship from those little plastic bags that are hung on trees in parks.

So someone goes out collecting the malt. Yeah. Yeah. It's not that. It's not that. No, it's not that. Weirdly, it's not that. It's a great guess, Andy. Did we name the whiskey company? I just wonder they might soon. William Grant's sons. I just like to apologize William Grant's sons for... I don't drink whiskey, but I know Andy does. So if William Grant's sons would like to send us some whiskey, then Andy would very happily try it out. Yeah, absolutely. It must be horrific at the Johnny Walker factory when the word Walker said and all the dogs jump up.

So excited. Very good Lovely And there's the joke No it is They are sniffer dogs Basically They sniff the wood

Of the casks For mustiness And other tiny faults Basically for anyone Who doesn't know To make whiskey You put your alcohol In big barrels

And then the tannins Or something of the wood Go into the alcohol And that's what gives whiskey its taste But if your wood has gone off slightly Or if there's some other problems Then you wouldn't

know for like 20 years until it's matured whether it'll be bad or not. And so you get these dogs who can tell the difference quite early. And exactly what they're trained to smell is a secret. We don't know. It's one of those trade secrets. But we do know that they're sniffing the casks. That's really cool. Yeah, great fact. Yeah. Thank you, Mark. Should I do one more? Yeah, let's do one more. Okay, well, this is quite fun this one. This is just kind of a shout out to a kid who's doing amazing stuff out there, sent him by Megan Walker. Down boy. I was talking to a dog there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might be listening right now. But you were looking dead into my eyes. An 11-year-old boy has opened a natural history museum in Cambridge, Illinois, and he might be the fisciest kid I've seen. Get him on the pod. And she sent a link, and this is a kid. He's 11.

Anderson Taylor, who was recently awarded the Guinness World Record for being the youngest male curator of a museum. And he opened the Cambridge Natural History Museum on the 10th of August, 2024. He was just nine days old and three. Sorry, wow. I've heard of some prodigies in my life. Oh, Jesus. I can imagine his parents.

What were you doing for the first eight days, lazy bastard? He was nine years and three hundred and forty days old. The three hundred and forty because this is Guinness giving you the exact day to beat. But it started when he was three years old. He was watching a show on dinosaurs and he decided he wanted to go and find some fossils. So he went out to his driveway and remarkably there was a fossil in his yard. Wow. Yeah, which to me smells of parents laying down.

You think it was a plant? No, I think it was a fossil. And there's the joke. So he finds it in his yard, jump starts his passion for paleontology. And then when he's seven, he applies to his local councils, I think, to the city. And they go, no, you're seven. Yeah. It took a few rounds for them to be convinced of it.

He did a GoFundMe, which allowed them to buy the building that it's in. Come back when you're eight, all right? But now he's running it. They've got a bunch of fossils in there, bunch of minerals, artifacts, Native American artifacts, taxidermy animals, and, yeah. A few par patrol ties. Well, that's wonderful. Congratulations, young man. Yeah, well done, buddy.

Go far. Yeah. Well, look, we've got to move on now. It's time for Section 2, which is always huge fun, is where we give out our own headline facts from years ago to anyone who has joined Clubfish at the Friend of the Podcast tier. Go to patreon.com slash Clubfish. Have a look at all the things you can get on Clubfish.

There are bonus episodes. There are extra long episodes. There's all sorts of stuff. And if you join at the top tier, you get one of our headlines. time facts to be your pet in perpetuity. So let's give out a few now. We put the pet in perpetuity. Really good.

Shall I read one? This is for Lucas. Lucas, you now have the fact that archers at the Battle of Agincourt had three arrows in the air at any given moment. I love this fact. This is one of mine. And it's that you'd have one, you'd just fire it. One that was halfway in the air and one that was about to hit a Frenchman because they could fire so quickly. Yeah.

It's a point about archers. It wasn't three at once. It was... Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, they weren't doing sort of lazy Robin Hood stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But didn't they...

I thought they also had like a couple of layers of arches, like when one of them's reloading, the other one's firing. I think they probably would, yeah, yeah, but an individual archer would have... Yeah, ideally had to be in it. And also it's very...

Because these were longbows and they were really, really hard to pull, right? Oh, yeah. You had to be unbelievably strong. And then when they found the fossils or the bones, of these people. And they had like one massive arm like Raffa Nadal,

and one tiny arm like a T-Rex. That's basically it. That's it. Yeah. And when their fossils were found, there was a nearby seven-year-old boy. He said, I'll have that. But yeah, amazing.

Okay, the next one. This is now under the custodianship of Charlotte Blackwell Gates. And Charlotte, your fact is that right-handed marmasets are braver than left-handed marmosets. Hmm. Really good. Interesting. Why?

Would it be that so much of life is built for people who are right-handed and more so. And I know we're not talking about humans here. I think those marversets find that it so hard to use scissors. The thing that Anna said is that they freeze for longer when faced with a predator. They're more cautious about new food and they have a more negative outlook. I think I'm the only lefty around this table. Yeah. And I think, ding, ding, ding.

Yeah. That's me. Yeah. Negative outlook. Cautious about new food. That's me. What was the third one? I freeze when faced with the predator.

I'd see that. Maybe if you're, if being lefty is rare among mamasettes, then you're a bit, just, you feel a bit less confident to deal with the world because all the other marmasets are using their right hand to high-five each other. I don't know. It's the tiny things, isn't it? I don't know why it would be. Yeah.

Do you find it harder to high-five people being a left-handed person? Yeah, it's a nightmare. Do you really? I would have thought, actually, if me and Dan high-five each other, we're going to do it now. Okay, our bodies are quite far away from each other. But if I was to high-five you, your left hand with my right hand, we would be quite close to kissing. Because our heads will be directly next to each other. So that must be really awkward.

Well, I'm still thinking on face-to-face with the predator. I don't know. I don't have a good explanation for this. Very interesting, though. All right, here's one that goes out to Kate Georgia. And it's a great one. It's that the French saying, Avois le top o guiche, means to have a mole at the counter,

meaning you really need a poo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a mole at the counter. Yeah, yeah. This, I think, was not a headline fact. Oh, really? We went through a vanishingly brief phrase where people could say,

look, I'd really like that particular fact. What an odd one to choose. So someone selected that. Well, Kate's already got the phrase tattooed on her, so it makes sense. I don't know. I don't know why she wanted this one. I think maybe it had just become a thing in her house to say that it sort of entered the household lexicon.

Yes, they heard it on the show. They've started saying it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Very rare situation here. That became unmanageably complicated, the request system. So we have now shut it down. You get a wonderful random fact from our archive, such as... Well, this one goes out to Kate Knox.

Chikovsky used to hold his head when conducting, because he was afraid it would fall off. Had he done a lot of long-distance cycling? Did he have Shermer's neck? Shirm's neck. It's a thing that we mentioned in the show, or Dan mentioned, whereby if you cycle for a long time, your neck muscle stop working and you have to hold your head up.

The reason I bring it up is because someone messaged me on Instagram yesterday saying, my friend, who does a lot of cycling, thinks you made that up, and thinks it came from AI. So can you prove that it's not, please? and it took about two seconds of Googling to show that it wasn't made up and I sent them a link and we're all good. Because I did use AI and that's very lucky. That's a lucky escape.

I think perhaps AI has now gone into the internet and created a load of sources. I probably read my Instagram private messages and thought, oh, guys, we need to get the gang together and sort this out. No, I read it in quite a few places. because it is true. Yeah, yeah. There's like proper medical journals that describe it.

Yeah, and there's been quite a few comments on places where people who can comment on that specific episode have said, my friend had that and things are really. Yeah, yeah, which is very interesting. Ironically, you had to look up whether it was real or not, whereas if you have got this condition, you can't look up because you're next gone. Very good indeed. Yes. Very good.

The next one here is now under the custodianship of Dennis Botel. And Dennis, your fact is that Asmese, you're a small. Otters can be taught to use inhalers. Adorable. Adorable. That is so good. And asthmatic otter is cute enough. But one using a little inhaler?

Maybe a little furry inhaler. Oh yeah, that's to be fair. Don't otters have pockets as well? Do they keep it in their pocket? Of course they do. Got to have it on you at all times. Exactly. I thought there was their armpits, though, that were their pockets.

Okay. They've got a body pocket somewhere is what I meant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're thinking of a phrase as wet as an otter's pocket. I've not heard that What does it mean? Very wet. Oh, I understand.

There's not one of those that you need to get a couple of different levels. Difficult phrases that James keeps you chucking out. There's no mole at the counter. Right, come on, let's drag it out of the gutter now. And let's give a fact out to Reaper Fox. Pretty cool. We've had moles, otters, and now Fox. That's nice.

Your appendix. can be turned into a sphincter. And that's yours, Reaper Foxx. Yes. But your fact today is completely separate. No, is that your appendix can be turned into a sphincter, which is very useful stuff. It's in surgery. They can repurpose your appendix, which you don't need.

Yeah. But if you are having sort of gastric surgery, you might need a new sphincter. A ring of muscle. Any muscular opening, right? Yeah. But this is one of the key sphinctors for weying out of, as it were. So, you know, to control things down there. And isn't that good about the appendix?

That's amazing. Is it just yours for your own sphincter? Or is it, if you're getting your appendix taken out, do they put it in a fridge until it's needed for someone else's? Fantastic question, don't know. I don't know if it has to be yours or if your body were rejected if it was the wrong kind or whatever. But no, good point.

I think the appendix has been shown to have some uses these days. Like, it's useful in the immune system. the kind of stuff, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not quite as useless as people thought. Okay, here's another one. This is for Brandon Tan. Your fact is, the founder of Crofts designed,

the founder of Crofts designed special train carriages for celebrity dogs. Crofts. Do I say, Crests? It was unclear what you said. Okay, it certainly weren't crofts. It felt weird coming out. The founder of Crofts. Oh, I can't say it.

No. I actually can't say that. Crofts. Wow. I can't say it. Do you want me to do this one? Sure. But that's amazing in its own.

Why don't you just say the founder of the world's most famous dog show? The founder of the world's most famous dog show, Crofts, designed special train carriages for celebrity dogs. Here's a question. When you are in the army and you don't have to wear your uniform, you call it Mufti. Yeah. Muffty. Muffty. So it's not the F-T.

No. It's the F-T. It's the F-T-S. Muffties. No, I can do that. F-T-S, yeah. Try that. Muffs.

Then you're there. You're rhyming. Crofts. I can't. No. What's going on? That is strange, isn't it? Well, the founder of crofts.

Oh, look at you. It was called Charles Croft. Here's a question. So, like, an old word for a farm is called a croft. Oh, yeah. Can you say crofts? Crofts. No.

So that is it. It's the FTS. Okay. FTS. Well, Good thing you weren't mates with Charles Croft, the founder of Crofts, because you'd have had a very awkward time. Should we invite Charles to the wedding? Oh, no, no. I've been avoided him for years. It's terrible. I wouldn't be able to take attendance at the wedding.

Or thank him in the speeches as well. He's been so generous over the years, but I just can't mention his name. How big is the FTS community? I don't think it is usually, which is why you've been able to sneak through for so many years without getting away. You know the room at the very top of your house that some people call an attic. I would call it a loft. So if there's more than one of those... I would have two lofts. Oh, closer.

Okay. If you were feeling the Christmas Radio Times and saying, feel the heft of that. But of course, you were carrying two copies of the Christmas Radio Times. I love that what you're doing with your hands now. It's like six, seven. What would you be feeling, Dan?

Feel the... What would be? I'd be feeling. The hefts. The hefts. I sound like a drummer. There we go. That's the only way to get into it. The hefts. Oh, so close. We do need to wrap up at some point. I'm afraid. It's quite fun now, isn't it? It is fun, yeah.

Brandon Tan, I hope that you're happy that you've absolutely demolished Dan's formerly spotless reputation for pronouncing words right. Okay, this is the final one, I think, for today. And it is now under the custodianship of Amanda. And Amanda, your fact is a bit of a classic, I think. When something thought to be a meteorite actually turns out to be an ordinary rock, it's called a meteorong. Lovely. Lovely fact.

That is a classic, isn't it? I think so. I feel like you and I, Dan, might have recently been to the Natural History Museum and someone had shown us a meteor wrong. Yeah, exactly. I don't think we knew this beforehand, Andy. I don't think it was one sitting in the wings. What do you mean one sitting in the wings? Like, as you say, like, we all know the fact, and then maybe I couldn't find the fact that week.

And I said, oh, can I use the old Meteoron? Everything that Andy has ever found is something that he's literally found within the last seven days. Often within the last seven seconds before the meeting. That's great fact. Well, that's terrific. All right. Well, those are our custodians for the day. Congratulations.

And thank you so much for your support to all our new custodians. That's Amanda, Brandon, Reaper Fox, Dennis, Kate Knox, Kate George. Charlotte and Lucas. We'll be back again in a week's time with another episode of Little Fish. We'll be back in four days' time with another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish. And if you're a member of Clubfish,

you'll be getting extra dropers of lines here and there as well, plus bonus episodes. Once again, patreon.com slash clubfish. Thanks so much to Dan and Andy. I can't say crafts, but I can't say James' name. Well, Dan, Andy, you've been terrific today. You've been the core of the show.

And that's it. That's all the thanks, dished out. Hi, can I just say one thing, Andy? Yeah. The World Snooker Champion for a couple of years ago was called Luca Brousel. Fantastic. Luca from the snooker. In at the kill. There we go.

And thank you, James. You're very welcome. There we go. We'll see you next time. Bye.
