QI Series C Episode 12 - Combustion Pt 2 of 2

[IoEstasCedonta]

1:34 C, it is called, because "celeritas" is Latin for speed.

Trivia: Ernst Mach can also be considered a significant forerunner to Einstein w.r.t. general relativity, having made similar claims from a philosophical perspective in the late 1800s.

@ Lilithly... at 0:57 Alan says "Have you had an accident at work?" in the style of a workplace health and safety advertisement. :-)

[Lilithly]

i never quite believed that so many people where killed only because someone said they were witches...they weren´t THAT stupid.

[Lilithly]

What does Alan say at 0:57 ?

Dara furiously typing = Win.

One of the best episodes in the series. I love the bit at the end where Stephen penalizes Dara for a tiny mistake in the last series, then makes an even bigger one himself, referring to John Glenn as the first man to orbit the earth. Even American children are taught that it was Yuri Gagarin.

BTW Glenn was the first person to LAND in a spacecraft after an orbital flight, because Gagarin bailed out at 23,000 ft (7km), landing by parachute. This was standard procedure for all 6 Vostok flights.

@Arthurmax180 Except when it's Mark Buxton or sutin.

I cant watch buzzcocks... I never know any of the people on it or the crappy music, This is much more my style.

[Chrisfs59]

@celtickiwi11 You don't need to know them. Phil and Noel are the funniest people there, the rest are just window dressing. 

[Arthurmax180]

@Chrisfs59 The host can still be pretty funny but they rarely have anything on Amstell.

What I love about watching these older episodes is that you remember awesome moments like the "Peter Cushing" song and the whole subsequent thing about him and Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, because they've been uploaded as individual clips, but you never have any idea what episode they were from, and when you realize one of them is coming up it's like finding five dollars in your coat pocket or something.

[Arenlor]

@Friscalating Speaking of, I found a dollar in my coat today.

11:43 -- I was rounding off!
