Something to ponder on. Oddly enough, Fry and his "elves," a rather meticulous bunch, addressed the whole golden crown story wrongly, or rather not fully. In the story, they new the density of gold and could use it to either prove or disprove that the crown was made of solid gold. They could easily weight it, but that wouldn't help them much without knowing the crown's volume, as ρ = m / V. That's where Archimedes' bathing incident kicked in saving the day.
Did anybody else get a little excited when Stephen announced I was watching (and in turn he was hosting) Never Mind the Buzzcocks?
Don't get me wrong I love QI (actually more than I do NMTB) but that would be amazing. His Lordship Stephen Fry hosting Never Mind the Buzzcocks! Being a guest once is all fine and good but I reckon he could whip it back into shape.
@bellboy64 Actually, curiously enough, right before I watched this, I watched the NMTB episode where Jack Dee signed off with a QI reference. Really weird coincidence.
Jam is different then jelly. Jelly is made out of just the juice of the fruit, typically grape. Jam is made out of crushed fruit such as strawberry or blackberry. The FDA actually has a published standard on the difference between jelly and jam (21 CFR 150). The USDA also has standards to grade both Jelly and Jam.
as @mchandler2112 said the word jam is used in America, if you say I'm making a peanutbutter and jam sandwich people will know what you mean. You are more likely to see a jar of jam in a grocery shop than a jar of jelly.
@stevebloodymckenna As a northerner in America, I've heard nothing other than "jelly" used to describe the product, regardless of whether it's artificially-flavored. I've seen "jam" used in older television, but not in conversation.
@Glarfugus which is odd cos I am from Wisconsin and at least here people say jam just as much as jelly, and I see jars labelled jam in the store all the time(as well as jelly). :)
For anyone wondering, we (Americans) don't call jam 'jelly'. Jelly is reserved for artificially flavored jam-like products, but we still say 'jam' if it is made from real fruit.

We have preserves, jelly, and jam. We use jam a lot around here.
I love Jimmy's answer to the commandments question.
