"I HATE this show... Cause this sun is THERE and you're like "NO". You - it's the SUN -! 'Not there! Miraaaaaaaaaage!'" XD

[BloodFromTheThorn]

'i dare say that the drivers of New Zealand as they see the sun setting, are reassured to know... that it's not ther :) '

<3 Phil :D

@SlappaDeBassMon Perhaps we don't get enough exposure to NZ accents in the UK. Similar to how some Americans think that there are only two English accents - RP and cockney, since most exported TV and film contains those accents.

[SlappaDeBassMon]

Funny, every time I hear someone from Britain attempting a New Zealand accent, it sounds Australian to me (I'm a NZer by the way).

hmmmm... it's this sunset spot thing the same all over the world? or this happens just in the equator? Too bad this isn't aired in my country I love this show

[SaFadaShaa]

i love it how the video says "An error occurred. Please try again later." - it is as if youtube can't handle the great amount of awesomeness it contains.

@Mx41204 I'm two weeks late on this, but he's actually pretty damn smart. He plays the naive simpleton role for QI, but I dare say he's usually the smartest one around the table other than Fry.

@Mx41204 btw, MST3K Mantra is "Relax, it's just a show." Although (most of) the info they give is right, it's a comedy show through and through.

[Mx41204]

@navierstalks First of all, MST3K mantra.

He talked about it for 20 seconds. He's not an expert, definitely doesn't know all the details, but I'm sure it exists. He says it happens in New Zealand, not 'only' there, and it probably is seasonal, because around December and January, New Zealand is one of the closest countries to the Sun, so it can't happen then with the conditions he described.

Also, it's Alan freaking Davies. There's a reason he's in every show and it's not because he's smart =))

Love the way he says "miraaage"

[navierstalks]

@CommandLineCowboy You're right. When I said they were the same distance from the equator, I was being generous to the guy in the video. In fact, GB is further from the equator than NZ, which makes him even more of an idiot. Higher rain and higher sunshine is a good point, if true, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the video. He was talking about the angle of the rays. The angle is closer to the perpendicular in NZ than in GB, making him flat out wrong.

@navierstalks GB is latitudes 50-60, NZ is 34-47, that's like the difference between Great Britain and Spain. Do Spanish drivers suffer sunstrike? NZ has higher sunshine and higher rainfall than GB. In the same day you can have an early afternoon rain shower, and then drive home into the setting sun reflecting off the rain slicked roads. Forgetting your sunglasses in conditions like that is deadly.
