  • isn't the word "creationist science" an oxymoron.

  • So what does this have to do with barbers or castrati?

  • @binaway Africans being taller, while not being able to drink milk can be explained by them eating quite a lot of mammalian protein in the form of meat, being their primary source of nutrition. (There are exceptions; the Masai traditionally use milk and are NOT lactose intolerant.) In many parts of Africa, they eat the whole animal, including the bones.

  • @binaway Well, yes, I know all that. I'm lactose intolerant myself. And you just sort of confirmed my point. I suppose I should have said that they TRADITIONALLY don't drink milk at all. The fact that younger people are getting taller is very telling, as they now ingest more mammalian protein than before. Honestly, though, they use very little milk in Japan. I looked for it in a shop when I was there, all I found was strawberry flavoured hyper-pasturised crap.

  • @MaiaMadness They do drink milk in Japan but a lot of Asian adults can't digest lactose. Europe's population has the smallest percentage of lactose intolerant adults and Japan the highest. Lactose intolerance is also high amongst African adults. A political group of Afro-Americans tried to have milk removed for workplace coffee rooms claiming it was racially prejudice for employers to provide something solely for whites. Common sense won out and it was forgotten about

  • what the fuck am I going to do when I run out of QI videos?

  • How did they not go for the easy 'tit' joke?

  • "A female's orifice" is somewhat of a mystery to Stephen.

  • this is what have cats got to do with violins again >I WHAT HAS HAPPENED BBC?

  • @freekicking85 So is 'Christian Atheist' but they exist too.

  • I find that woman fucking irritating.

  • @CrnchyBnn

    I think the BBC have fucked up.....AGAIN!
