QIXL Series H H-Anatomy S08E02 [2/3]

[GrunGrauWeiss]

why are scientists so obsessed with donuts?

[ldpmendes]

someone pressed the like button while upside down, that explains it.

[Yressa]

im left handed and thought of it facing the right way. weird

[Georgeous129]

Eddie Adcock? wow that guy must've had LOADS of stick in school :o

[lagranged86]

"A triangular gloriole? Somebody shoved a Toblerone through it!"

[daughterofbastet]

Nuuuuuu D: The poor little red fuzzy!

[herminbean]

The only reason I knew she faced right was remembering the kids tv show "The Queens Nose". Don't know why that popped in my head

[Viisaria]

... I thought she faced the left, too... How odd... I'm not even sure what the stamps look like in Canada, but coins DO face the right... =/

[kariatamun]

They sure did spend a lot of time talking about the Pope's glory hole...

[liuf92]

I myself prefer to draw profiles facing to the left. It's much easier for me being a righty.

[WalterLiddy]

Wierd. I knew she faced right. I can't gather why people would remember it wrong.

[johnyprestige]

@WalterLiddy same here. and I'm right handed aswell. odd.

[ninjatoothpaste]

Playing music is a global process, makes use of all the brain :D That's prolly why they had him doing that I think.

[QuixoticTendencies]

@kwkak37 Nice try, but a theorem is a principle.

[luludevreeze]

I like Gyles. He's innocently sincere.

[jedi01sith]

Gyles to me is a very typical upperclass minister, he comes accross as being so out of touch with normal regular people. Who the fuck doesnt know what a gloryhole or prince albert is?

[robbo3166]

@jedi01sith Well, I could ask my dad, and I will guarantee he wouldn't know what a gloryhole is. He is very working class from Paddington, London. Not everyone knows what a gloryhole is.

[daughterofbastet]

@jedi01sith I didn't until I saw QI. I still don't know for sure what a gloryhole is, but I have a reasonable guess. Remember... yours is not the only country, language, or culture out there.

[jedi01sith]

@daughterofbastet

Its the one that matters though

[daughterofbastet]

@jedi01sith :( What a terrible way to live. I'm sorry you feel that way, and I hope eventually you come to understand that "my way" is not synonymous with "the only way" or "the best way". Until then, you have my sympathy.

[jedi01sith]

@daughterofbastet

Ill take your sympathy and in return give you a sense of humour. I was joking.

[daughterofbastet]

@jedi01sith Apologies... >.< Sarcasm is very difficult to detect without a tone of voice or body language.

[FishFaceofDoom]

Tribbles!

[Naihatsu92]

I like Gyles. I like the humor and all of this show, but I am more interested in the Quite Interesting facts that we learn about: Gyles being so knowledgeable as he is, there's no reason for me not to like him. :D

[shelbycobra131]

I like how they mention "Nimbus" when Goku is riding his Nimbus cloud on Bill's shirt.

[RuthLeilani]

I love how Stephen says Alan's name when he breaks the furry-ball. A bir reprimanding.

[SatoTM3]

lol true true. if i would draw a face id draw it to left bc right is like...wtf x)

[MrLazyEyes]

At 6:30 after he says "What's not to like." you can see him smizing afterwards.

[Phosphatide]

I swear those are Tribbles.

[HackneySack]

They played that footage of Eddie Adcock on HIGNFY. He had electrodes implanted in his thalamus, I think.

[sharonmary]

funny i'm left handed and i immediately imagined her facing the right.

[blashthumm]

thumbs up for Bill Bailey's Dragonball shirt!

[DragonSporks]

I love how Gyles tries to be dirty... and is instantly out-dirtied by every other person in the show (particularly Stephen). Must admit to having spent the last seven series hoping that he wouldn't be back; he is quite dull.

Always nice to see Bill Bailey, though! And Stephen's tie. :)

[GiniBaggins]

Gloryhole LOL

[LGD3]

Gyles Brandreth is exactly how I imagine a stereotypical Tory to be. With his 'African handshakes' and 'the cruellest people in the history of the world'.. pffhahaha.

[rbb9753]

For American coins, the penny and Sacagawea coins are the only ones where the person faces to the right.

[BlackFalconKN]

Once Stephen said assuming profiles facing left is probably to do with most people being right-handed, I immediately thought that's the direction their head would turn if a right-handed person slapped them. So perhaps people are just envisioning themselves letting those faces know what they really think about them.

[XanBcoo]

SPOCK'S BRAIN

[oisinparis]

St Denis is not the patron saint of Paris it's Sainte Genevieve. Sometimes the elves and Stephen get things wrong.

[delacote60]

@oisinparis

Both Denis and Geneviève are seen as the patron saints of Paris, although Denis is also the patron saint for France which may give rise to some confusion. Hope this reaches you before you send a letter of outrage to the elves...

[snakesruleLMR]

I don't understand why everybody laughs when Gyles says gloriole. Can someone please explain?

[oisinparis]

@snakesruleLMR A glory hole is a hole in a wall where a man inserts his penis to be fellated anonymously by a woman or a man.

[snakesruleLMR]

@oisinparis Ah, I see. Thanks!

[Chiscringle]

@wordsmithinus Sorry, no. I think it might be a Rich Hall episode, and since the surgery occurred in 2008, it had to be D series or later.

[Chiscringle]

Stephen's done the Banjo story before.

[loganberry30]

gtfo, Gyles.

[Orlabobz]

Gyles annoyes me.....

otherwise great episode! XL is always much funnier!



[DefinitelySurely]

Stephen didn't seem so impressed with Gyles.

[Silverwolfcub]

@DefinitelySurely I think it's cause he's being shouted over. The guy hears him, then starts to get louder when Fry keeps talking.

[ScarfaceAsh]

I love Alan's random little anecdotes xD

[luciferlocke]

Topological, Fry, not topographical.

[wewoor]

@luciferlocke actually, he started talking about planets being spheres and therefore always having cyclones, so he may have meant topograhpical, topology doesn't have all that much to to with so simple a form as a sphere.

[luciferlocke]

@wewoor The theorem he's referring to is the Poincare-Hopf index theorem, which has a great deal to do with spheres. Since an even-dimensional sphere (such as the 2-dimensional surface of a billiard ball) has nonzero Euler characteristic, any vector field on such a sphere must be zero at some point. More broadly speaking, algebraic topologists had to invent the machinery of spectral sequences just to answer some very basic questions about spheres, and still don't have all the answers, by far.

[AerynRavanna]

@luciferlocke correcting Fry is one of those rare victories in life :)

[SeventhEve]

When Alan hit his buzzer with the shrunken head, it scared the hell out of me.

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

@SeventhEve

Alan's so scary in this episode.

[dairesaoirse]

Thanks so much for posting. This episode was hilarious!!!

[amalou1]

oh God, it's come off!! XD
