One of the things I like most about QI, being American, is picking up these little dribs and drabs of British culture (pop and otherwise). "I've been completely lost since the Clangers..."
"If I walked into a room and saw a man rubbing rhubarb on my silver, I would beat him toward an inch of his life and call the police!" Lol I lost it there :D
To be fair, the British in WW2 used bomb rats, terrorists in Iraq have been reported to fit explosive to animals and hide IEDs in carcasses by the road, and I've read of the Chinese using Incendiary Monkeys to burn down enemy camps and such.
Actually, the bit about the dogs and tanks during WWII is nonsense. There was a dog division in the Soviet army, but what the dogs mainly did, was bring bombs and mines, lay them out under tanks and leave. Mice and even cats were used in the same manner. Also, those animals never 'bombed' the Soviet tanks, because Soviet tanks were completely different than German ones.
Plus, few dogs (if any) died; training them was too expensive and time-consuming.
Something I'd really like to see is a montage of Sean Lock on QI - Free Myra Hindley, how fog happens, take all the money and fiddle with people, silhouette of their bollocks on the moon, ocho cardiganes, THINK THESE THINGS THROUGH, all the stories of animal abuse, etc.
For the "second commonest cause of death" question, the answer Steven gives is wrong, as is Alan's statement that childbirth was the first. It's an urban myth that's been bandied about for years. Illness and infection were the leading cause of death for both men and women. Shame on you, Steven!
Have you got that exchange with Stephen Fry where Phill takes the mick out of his shoe size... something about having to buy shoes at a clown's shop? Laughed my self sore when that went out on air.
Phill once said that his own personal favourite contributions to QI are the bits where he is allowed to gently takes the piss out of Stephen: "No-one has a kettle like that! No wonder fucking Twinings had you, pal!"
@tiger55331 Twinings is a tea company, whose brand image is rather twee and old-fashioned. Stephen Fry was starring in their ads when this was recorded.
I think it was when Stephen made a joke about a blood clot and Alan just stared at him blankly (after firing off a ton of awful jokes himself). The clip should be on youtube :D
Wonderful stuff. Where's the clip where they're talking about pub quizzes and having Stephen on your team giving himself away by swearing in Latin. I want a link to that
If that's a British thing, I wouldn't have heard of it. And if we do have them in the states, I've never seen one. It does sound a bit like a hum-a-zoo though.
To the question 'what goes woof woof boom?' I cant believe no-one said a terrier-ist.
