Hi everybody and welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name's Andrew Hunter-Murie. I'm here with James Harkin and Anna Tijinsky, and we are here to read out the best of your facts that you've been sending in to the fish inbox over the last seven days. Hi, guys. Hi, Andy. Hello.

I have a bit of parish business before we start. Ooh. Yes. There is an exciting new fan site created by a fishner? Fish listener? Fish listener? He's called Luke Delaney. He has built a website.

It's about fish. It's called place to know.com, place like the fish. That's very clever. It's very clever. We should get him on section naming. No, I will not have anyone. That's mine. Place to know, it's amazing.

It's basically a huge map of the world, and it contains all the places that we've mentioned on fish over the last 12 years. Wow. And if you zoom in on anywhere, it shows you the place and then you click on it and it shows you what we've said about that place. It's amazing. There are all sorts of little bells and whistles. Yeah, yeah. And I've shown you guys. So if you zoom on to Loch Ness.

There's like 500 different mentions. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly that. Anyway, so good. So anyone listening to this, if you want to check it out, Luke, Luke, thank you so much to you, Luke. And it is place to know.com. That's place with an eye like the fish.

Very good. Clever. All right. Let's have some facts. Got one coming from North Carolina, from someone called Hunter. Weird name. Oh, because it's also yours.

Yeah. Of course. Well, he's found an interesting story. He said, have we come across Joseph Palmer, a Massachusetts man, who in 18, 3,000? 30 his beard was hated so much by local townsfolk that they attempted to shave it off. So there's a difference because of course you still can't grow a beard, can you?

That's very funny. And also it's an interesting story. Wow. Wow. One two. It's a rich star, isn't it, for Andrew Hunter Murray. Anyway, so these locals hated his beard. They attacked this guy.

They tried to shave it off. And he refused to have it shaved off. And this is a time when I think beards were banned. so he refused to bow to social convention. Apparently he was part of the transcendentalist movement of New England. I don't know if that's related to his beard keeping. I've vaguely been interested in transcendentalism in my past, and I didn't know that you had to grow a beard for it.

So why did you grow yours? It was a mistake. Listeners won't know. The only person who's got a beard is James. I have like a goatee beer because that's literally all I can grow. Would you keep the beard even if they banned them on pain of prison? No, I wouldn't. And in actual fact, I feel like even if just the two of you were strong-willed enough to want to shave it off, I would be hard-pressed to stop you.

Okay. Challenge accepted. Great. I just think that like one or two people can overpower one person and an entire village can almost certainly overpower one person, even a bearded person. Yeah, you're right. It's easier to chop someone's beard off than it is to give them a good close shave, though. Because your beard is close enough to your face that I would not want to be wrestling. with the razor for fear of doing you any injury,

which I wouldn't want that. I don't want that. I just want the beard off in the scenario. And actually almost all beards are close to faces, so it is sometimes... Eventually they are. Eventually they are. You could do a good chop of the main thing.

You could do a trim, yeah, hackered it with a pair of garden shears from a distance if it's a Santa Claus gig. But this guy sounds like he had one of those amazing 15 foot long bits. He did, and in fact he's got a tombstone that shows his head and it is a massive beard bigger than Santa Claus as I had a look. And his tombstone just reads, persecuted for wearing. a beard. Wow.

Yeah, he's really attached to it. Anyway, great fact, hunter. Great facts. That's really good. Yeah. Here is one from Drey, Falzerano. And they talk about a place in America as well, in Vermont. And they say that in Vermont, in order to stock trout in the highest stocked pond in the state, they transport them via ski lifts.

Brilliant. Cool. Isn't that amazing? What a weird sight that would be if you were just going up to do the red run at the top. And you want to lift with a bunch of trout. That's what I thought. Right. In your head, when I tell you that fact, what kind of ski lift is it?

An old school ski lift where you sit in it and you pull down the bar and then it takes you clackety clacketing up. Is that it? I think you're trying to be funny here, Andy. No, I think you are being funny. No, no, I'm not. Oh, I thought you were trying to be funny. Because obviously the most logical thing is to put the barrel inside one of those big enclosed glass. This bubble thing.

This is where we come into a problem, which is that I am a man of the people. and I've never been skiing, whereas you two, hoisty-toity types, you know all about the different kinds of ski lift because you're always on the slopes. Well, it's just the thing is like normally I'd go horse riding, but the horses are too cold in the winter, so I have to go skiing. So what's the truth the trout got upon a lift? No, in actual fact, the trout go in a chairlift, it seems.

Yes! Because I read a newspaper article about this, and it said you may have seen snakes on a plane, but have you ever seen fish on a chairlift? Brilliant. No, in a box? They put buckets and each bucket's got about 400 tiny trouts in it And they put it next to someone presumably in a chairlift

Because it would be mad to send it up on itself How would they dismount? Put skis on the bottom. Well, it's always hard to dismount from a ski lift. It is. Is it? It is. Oh, I don't know.

Let's see. Can I tell you a ski list story? I've got a second-hand ski list story. Okay. My friend Joe, I won't say a surname, but you've both met him. Yeah. Has been skiing and it was his first time skiing. and after he got to the top for his first run down,

his girlfriend asked him, you're right, how do you find the lift? And he said, yeah, it was okay. A bit scary, that lift, though, wasn't it? And he had forgotten to put the bar down when you were too safe and in the lift. And he had just been like hovering over the abyss for the whole journey up.

That's really horrifying. He also got to the bottom of his first round and he forgot to put his goggles on. So his eyes were incredibly red. That's all right. This article that I read about snakes on a plane, slash fish on a chairlift gives an extra bit of information and it is that brook trout

are notorious for having a fear of heights so the more we can do to keep them happy the better chance they'll have of having a new home at the top I'm sorry I'm calling it bullshit Notorious is doing a lot of very heavy lifting How can you tell if a fish has a fear of heights? Yeah it's hard Is it high if you're closer to the surface?

I don't know I just think that's such a funny line Because it appears to be said quite seriously. You do get flying trout, don't you? Isn't that kind of fish? Or is it just a different kind of fish? Do they have a fear of flying, though? Maybe some flying trout are notorious for having a fear of flying. I just imagine one of them being sort of pulled out of the water in a net and going,

oh, oh. That's one. It's absolutely crazy. Brilliant fact, Ray. Great fact. Just keeping the theme, I have a fact about a thing in America and evolving ice. So this comes in from Mark Saltvite. Here's the question.

Before the invention of planes, what was the fastest vehicle on earth? Well, you have given a bit of a hint, haven't you? I have. I have. I have. I shouldn't have done that, but I have now. You can't take it back. No. It's something to do with ice, I reckon. Might be. You know what I would have said before?

I somehow got the idea that it might be something to do with ice? Like, do you remember they used to have those sort of log flumes, but they were literal log flumes, as in you were a logger, and you would cut down a tree and you put it in a flume. and people used to sit on those to get home and they used to go really fast. I thought they were slow, logflip, but I guess there were fast bits. Yeah. Well, that's a good contender.

So Mark says that the answer is the ice yacht. Oh. And I have never even heard of these things before. Basically, it's a boat on ice skates with a sail. Awesome. So the lake or whatever is frozen over or the bay and you go whizzing over it on your boat on skates.

That's clever. And Franklin Delano Roosevelt. president was an avid ice yotter, as was his cousin Ellen Roosevelt. And sadly, this century, of course, a lot less ice than they used to be, there are no ice yachts left. Ice yachting a tragically dying sport. Yeah. That's interesting. There are plenty of places that have ice, though.

There's no reason why they couldn't do it in Finland, for instance. Yeah, that'd be good. It's a fath to get to Finland for most people, isn't it? Not for Finns. No, they could keep doing it, sure. Maybe they are. And Mark has let me know that there is a Hudson River Ice Yacht Preservation Society and I think membership is $16 for a year.

Okay. It's a bargain. Go on, Andy. I'm going to. You've got your badge? I will. I will. I will get it.

I think that we're all absolutely rolling in money, the amount of money that Dan spends on eBay and you spend on these kind of societies. Well, I'll save all the money on skiing holidays. It's got to go somewhere. That's amazing. It reminds me of those ice ice ice. truckers that you get in the Baltics, don't you? Love that.

It's illegal, I think, for them to wear seatbelts or something. Like, because they're driving over ice roads. But at any stage, the road might just disappear and they go underwater, so you can't wear the seat belts. You have to be able to get away straight away. That's very cool. It reminds me of the beginning to Frankenstein, which I only recently read. And it's so confusing. Have you guys read Frankenstein?

I have, yeah. Don't you find the beginning incredibly weird? Because you know it's about, you know, Franksle and his monster. And then it starts in the Arctic Circle watching someone gallop along on an ice carriage, a carriage on ice skates. And you think for the first 30 pages, are like reading the wrong book. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, so maybe that must have been a thing. Yeah.

Ice carriages. What fun. Okay. I've got another fact here from Renee Westerhausen. And this is about left-handedness. I love this because Renee's done such a deep dive into the British newspaper archive and has found out that. that left-handers were barred from all these professions. And specifically opens by saying you weren't allowed to be a hairdresser.

So they found out that the Ministry of Labor barred left-handed people from training his hairdressers until the end of the 1960s. There's an article, it's mad. All the social change. It makes perfect sense. Why? Because your hairdresser is standing behind you on your left-hand side because they're cutting. And there's another person sat to your left as well.

and their left-handed hairdresser will be stood on their right and the two hairdressers would be banging arms all the time. But your hairdresser doesn't stay on one side of you for the whole haircut. That is they do, yeah. That explains a lot.

Just another short back and left, please. Yeah, yeah, great, yeah, yeah. We didn't mention the beard is actually only on one side. So I could look in the mirror and keep telling my head and pretend that I'm talking to someone else. And you've dressed half of you like a lady as well, haven't you, for your vaudeville show?

Yeah. It's nice. It just gets you a bit of company, doesn't it? Yeah, you know. A bit of intelligent conversation for a change. I think that there would be bumping into each other. You're right. But is it that they couldn't make the scissors for them, the left-handed scissors?

There were any right-hand of barbers scissors? It was just that people were generally suspicious. And I did look into the archive as well. And I don't think it was outright banned. And there was a lot of complaints about prejudice in other industries against left-handed people. But sometimes, you know, plasterers, carpenters, tile fixes. Sheet metal workers. Definitely. Oh my God.

Can you imagine having sheet metal in your house made by a left hand? God, it wouldn't... The wrong way around. You wouldn't be able to put it on the bed at all, would you? So they get, oh my God, and then I found this amazing thing when I was diving into the British newspaper archive looking for this. And I just found the headline from 1930. Husband, who in 20 years had never seen his wife's left hand,

which was an incredible story. George Eliot's husband. It's too big. You can't see it when you're too close. It was a story about this guy who'd married someone who always wore her hand bandaged and he'd been too polite to ask her, what's up with your hand? And then eventually she died of sepsis in her late 40s. And so the doctors came around and said,

golly, why is your wife's hand bandaged? And he said, I don't know. I never really asked. Yeah. And he took the bandage off and all her fingers had fallen off. Oh. That had such a sad ending. You sold it as such a funnier story that it ended up being.

Do you know, my husband says, I have a problem with this. I always start really sad stories. with a really perky tone. Yes, that's true. It was bad, wasn't it? Certainly in this case, that's what happened. Yeah. I'm sorry about that.

Oh, well. Ooh. Anyway, James, anything? Cheer us up. Can I tell you about the Raspberry Crazy Ant? Yes. Because Brian has told me about it. It's a serious pest along the Gulf Coast of America,

but it's drawn to electronic devices and electrical systems. Brian had an infestation on his personal laptop. and it's called the Raspberry Crazy Ant Crazy obviously because it runs around in a crazy manner Raspberry because they were named after the exterminator who reported them Tom Raspberry Beautiful Excellent

Having read the original email and thought that's good for you James I had misremembered it and thought you were going to say they only go for Raspberry Pi Those little computers Oh that would be good Made laptop ones but it's named after Tom Raspberry Named of Tom Raspberry And I just looked into them

found that actually NASA has big problems with these ants. Really? Because the ants keep going into the control station. Oh my God. And Tom Raspberry actually was hired by NASA to sort out the Raspberry Crazy Ant. Incredible.

Wow. Maybe they're trying to take over the space program. Maybe it's trying to get to the moon. That's so obviously what they're trying to do. They're organized. They don't need much air, I'm guessing. They should go to the rocket rather than the control center if they want to get the moon shouldn't they?

That's a good point actually. Unless another lot of ants went into the rocket and these guys are directing them. No doubt. They've got colleagues in the rocket. I don't know if they need a rocket because I've got a children's book at home about how what animal can put a star back in the sky and it turns out to be ants because they all are so good at teamwork that they climb on top of each other and the top one can get to the moon.

It's just that starting off with quite a nice children's story. What did they all get boiled to death? someone paring violin water on them or something. Here's one from Rodrigo Pimentel. What a great name. I'm just going to read the thing to you, right? As you probably well know, the oldest works of what we call ancient Greek literature

were Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, composed around 650 BC. The earliest literary prose in ancient Greece is widely accepted as being Herodotus' histories from about 4.30 BC. Okay. Now, in episode 55, Anna says that the fire hose was invented in ancient Greece

and made out of an ox's intestine, okay? The few sources I could find date this to around 400 BC. It seems like, for the ancient Greeks, it really was, narrowly, prose before hoes. I see, I get it. Okay, yeah.

And Rodrigo does say, I'm sorry at the end of it. Oh, do you know, definitely. No way. I think that's wonderful. An incredibly laboured route to a below par pun is what we live for. What about a fact here of Joe Hanley? Here's one from you.

This was brilliant, actually. So, Dmitri Shostakovich, maybe one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Russian heavy duty? Heavy duty, yes. Second World War inspired. Absolutely, yeah. Bear that in mind. Not a laugh a minute.

Could soundtrack your anecdotes, actually. All right, let's be careful about anecdote digs, okay? Who soundtracks yours? John Cage. Shostakovich went to see Jesus Christ Superstar, the premiere, in 1972. He absolutely loved it. He said it was so good he wished he'd composed it himself. Yes.

Yeah. And God, I hope Angela Weber is listening to this, because that's got to be the best moment of his life. Or actually, maybe it wouldn't surprise him. Isn't that amazing? Shostakovich wishes he'd written Jesus Christ Superstar. Well, maybe you come out of it with your feet tapping in a way you don't out of, I can't name any Shostakovich, I'm afraid. Go on, piano concert on number three.

Prelude in D. Well, that's, I mean, gosh, I wouldn't even put it in Andrew Lloyd Webber's top five. Do you know, neither would I. That's so funny. But maybe Shostakovich never heard Joseph in the amazing technical dream count. Okay, here is another one from Lucas, S.H. Lucas shh

and Lucas says Hi everyone my fact is that Carl Marks was first cousins with Gerard Phillips the founder of the Phillips Company

of toothbrush fame that's good is Phillips a famous toothbrush yeah yeah oh Anna I think of them as making Walkman

if you ever brush your teeth you wouldn't know you would know I got to start I do believe the only company that makes Watmans is Sony

by definition sorry You're right. You're absolutely right. They're going to sue me now. James, you have just avoided a crisis level email event in the inbox. That was stunning. I've never been more grateful. So this guy, Gerard Phillips, his paternal grandmother was Sophie Presberg and she was a sister of Henriette Presberg, who was Karl Marx's mother. Oh, wow. Wow. So actually, it might be once removed, perhaps. Oh, sure. But yeah, Marx didn't really get on with his mum because he was going off spending loads of money in his student day. I think I remember this. Didn't she was really pissed off with him about it? She thought he was a useless.

Yeah. And also she was worried about him. And she said, you must avoid everything that can make things worse. You must not get overheated. You must not drink a lot of wine or coffee or eat anything pungent or eat pepper or other spices. You must not spoke any tobacco, must not stay up late in the evening. And you must always rise early.

Wow. And basically, he just kept asking for money, asking for money. And then they fell out. and then in fact no one in his family went to his wedding. Ouch. Really? Yeah. I don't know whether he would have been hanging out with the head of the Phillips company

because the families kind of didn't hang out together that much. It feels unlikely that he would have been hanging out with big business. Yeah. Well, they wouldn't have agreed on much. No. But maybe on dental hygiene. I mean, that should be for everyone. Do you think that's one of those things?

They can agree. At family Christmas, stick to teeth. Everyone agrees. We all want nice teeth. And we all deserve nice. For the people. Yes. And if you don't have a tooth, someone else should give their tooth to you. No, stop, Carl.

Everyone should have the same number of teeth. I got one last one from Doug Steen from Fort Collins. Very American at the correspondence today. I don't plan it. You'll be staggered here. But this is about a place called King County in Washington State. Who do you think it's named after? Martin Luther.

Martin Luther. Oh, how interesting. It's named for Martin Luther. Luther King Jr. But Martin Luther King Jr. was born 77 years after it was named King County. So they were previously named after a guy called George King, who was a gold prospector or something. But then later on, they retcombed it. Bingo. Yeah. It was originally named after William Rufus DeVan King, who was the vice president briefly and not very well. And then he died after about 45 days in the job. And he was a slave owner.

Oh, well, good. That's a real roller coaster. I really took you on the tragic path before saying, you know what? He wasn't a great guy. So, yeah, he was apparently one of the worst vice presidents of all time. He never did anything vice presidential, you know, all those important jobs that the vice president has to do. And also, another thing, the only other detail I found about him is that he wore powdered wigs long after they'd gone out of fashion. So if you didn't already hate him for owning 500 slaves, the powdered wigs thing really put the tin lid on it.

So he was king, and it was named King County after him, and then it was renamed after Martin Luther King. That's good. How brilliant. What a slap in the face for Rufus. Absolutely. They could always just name it after another king in the future, like King Prince Charles.

Yep. Or like Stephen King. Oh, that's a good idea. It'd be great if you were called like Smith County and you just changed it every few months. To the most fashionable Smith at the time. And what you're saying is that Martin Luther King's reputation is apparently going to take a massive nosedive

and it'll be necessary to say, What about Stephen King? You never know who's going to get cancelled for you. Okay, on that note, I think I have a clue who's going to get cancelled next, James. We should dish out some facts to our new friends of the podcast. So if you go to patreon.com slash clubfish and you sign up to clubfish at the highest tier, the friend of the podcast tier, you can get a fact from our archive, one of our headline facts. dedicated to you forever.

You can become its custodian and keep it. And we're going to dish out a load of those now. So let's get cracking. Who has a fact that they would like to give out? Okay, I think I've got one. The first item sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer. It was bought by a man who collected broken laser pointers. And that is now under the custodianship of Robert Fink.

Oh, congratulations, Robert. This guy must have thought all of his Christmases have come at once. Like, he just goes on eBay. thinking I wonder what's on here and he finds the one thing that he collects. It was the best day of Dan Tribe's life he says to this day. Very good.

Great fact. What about a fact here? For Thomas Welch, I bestow this one upon you and that is that when Alexander Fleming's neighbours foiled a burglary at his house as a thank you gift, he gave them some mould. Brilliant.

But it's Alexander Fleming, so it's not... It was indeed penicillin mould because it's Alexander Fleming. So it's not just like anyone. giving you mould. Yeah, it's celebrity mold. It was celebrity mold, yeah. And I think...

That's a format. Sorry. We've cultured moulds from a random body sample taken from these celebrities and you've got to match them up. And then you turn it into sourdough bread and you taste the bread and see if you can guess which celebrity is. Exactly. Is this Bradley Walsh? Breadly Walsh. Breadly Walsh.

Bread Pit. Okay. Now we're cooking. Now we cook. Yeah. It's about to be the centenary of that. It was 1928 that he discovered penicillin. Wow. Great. So be prepared for a lot of...

Are we going to have like big sort of street parties in London where everyone gets a lot of mold? Yeah, maybe... Yeah, I think we should. You only get invited if you're a fun guy. Completely different. Let's have another fact. This one goes out. Pooey.

I'm really sorry. Let's go on to a fact... Quick. Let's go on to a fact for grey crinac or crinac. Your fact is, the earliest known ice cream recipe suggests flavouring with poo. I don't remember. It's a cheeky, isn't it? We do cheeky things like our facts.

It's whale poo. Oh. Is it ambergris? That's not cheeky at all. No, it's not, it's still poo. It's still poo? Is it not normally vomit? That's a good point.

Does it come out of their mouths, not their bottom? I think it comes out of both. but I think vomit is more common. That's true. It is also poo. Ambergree is also poo. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And is it? Because I always want to pronounce it ambergris, but I feel like... I call it amber grease. You call it Ambergris. Who knows? It's not common enough to have too many emails. Not to have an argument about, no. No, it's fine.

Fine either way. I'm a false spot. Okay, very cool. Yeah, delicious. I've got another one here. Another one from the lower regions. And it goes now to Jake. McCann, Jake, your fact is that dog pee makes streetlights collapse.

Oh, I remember this one. Yeah, and this is basically dogs weeing on streetlights and them getting more and more weak because of the urea. Yeah, and the only way to solve it is to wee on the other side? No, I think the way to do it is to not allow dogs to we on lamp posts. But, I mean, it's hard to stop, isn't it? That's hard to stop, yeah. And it does feel like you're going to know if it's on the brink of collapse.

aren't you? It's not like one day. It would have to be a very acidic dog we, I reckon, for it to be just a new, brand new street lamp and it just keels over. Yeah, that's true. So here's another fact. And this is the fact that after the button was invented, it took more than a thousand years for someone to invent the button hole. And I am going to give this fact to Sean Tobin Murphy, a fantastic fact. That's a classic, I'd say. It's a classic fish fact. It's really, it's in, there are certain formats that various facts fit into. And that's of the format. It took loads of years before. for someone to invent the hole in the basket. Like the tin was invented 200 years before the tin opener. Yes. And everyone just had full tins of sweet corned didn't know what to do with them or something. That's right. Yeah. So many completely avoidable famines.

Terrible. Stop but I get in tins. But yeah, like with their buttons, it's like they had a loop of cotton or something that you put the button in. Like a duffel coat. Right. Like a cool design feature. Yeah. And also a button hole is a specific, you know, it has a little bit of a buttonhole.

has to be strengthened around the hole, right? It's not just a hole. It's not just a slit. You can't just cut it. Yeah, a little known fact. Yeah, yeah. That's where I've been going wrong. I'll close the rags.

That's why you. Insert a buttonhole everywhere here. Should we have another? Yes. This one goes out to Tom Dix. And the fact is, as a baby, St. Nicholas refused to drink his mother's breast milk on fast days. His holiness.

So good. Love this fact. I mean, it's really dangerous for a newborn baby to go a whole day without breast milk. Yep. It's really silly. It was on Wednesdays and Fridays. Twice or two days a week? I think he did it in the evening.

He allowed himself to break his fast. Did he? I presume that was absolutely ravenous. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, her breast by the end of the day will be very turgid. Very uncomfortable for them, right. It doesn't sound like it's good for anyone, really.

But that's fasting, you know, you've got to show devotion. Do you reckon he cheats like a lot of people who fast do? What, I have a, like a... Just a little sucky on the back. When his mom's not lucky. Definitely. Is that Father Christmas, St. Nicholas? How many St. Nicholas are there?

I'm just imagining Father Christmas sucking on his mother's teeth. I don't think he had a beard in those days. That would be very uncomfortable. When was he around? What, St. Nicholas? I don't know. third-ish century or fourth or something. Okay, so what I'm asking is,

did the ho-ho-hoes come before prose or before hoes? I see. Right. St. Nicholas was born in 270 AD. Okay, so we go, pros, hoes, ho-ho-hoes. Now we're cooking. Got it. Lovely.

Lovely. We established that. Okay, here's my last one for the day, and this now goes under the custodianship of Zarco Narets. Zarko, your headline fact is when Ronald Reagan left office, he left a note on the White House lawn for the squirrels warning them to beware of George Bush's dogs. So sweet. It makes you warm to him.

Presidential handovers were nicer back in the day, weren't they? Then I'm going to have you locked up. No, I'm going to have you locked up. Well, I've pardoned myself. Eat it. Okay, one more. One more. And here is one for Beth.

Just Beth. And this, Beth, is that Las Vegas hosts an award ceremony for people who make awards. Love it. So good. Fantastic. Of course, because there's an award ceremony for everything, isn't there? Yeah, yeah. And we said at the time there are different categories.

There's best trophy and best plaque. Yeah, really good. What list of celebrity do you think you'd have to be to be asked to make the after-dinner speech at that award ceremony? I don't think you're going to get at, Anna. I'm really sorry. I think maybe a bit of profile raising and you could get there. but I think you need. Oh, right.

Well, look, that's it. That's another episode of Little Fish. So soon. So soon. If you have a fact for us that you'd like us to read out on the show, just email it to podcast.com. We read every single one. They're all brilliant.

They're so much fun to read. I've made my point. Are they all brilliant? No, they're not all brilliant. But your fact will be. So send it to podcast at QI.com. No, it's so wonderful hearing from everyone. If you've got something for Drop As a Line or audience feedback show is the same email address, podcast at QI.com.

So we'll see you there and we'll see you again in a few days for another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish. Bye for next.
