Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hoburn.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, James Harkin and Anna Tyshensky,
and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that is Andy.
The beep was invented in 1957.
Was it?
No.
Well, so I got this from an article which I won't name because it turns out now to be incorrect.
But basically, it's about the beep that happened on the Sputnik satellite, launched in 1957.
And really annoyingly, Anna has found about 58 examples of beaks dating back to the mid-40th century,
and it's just like, welcome back, Anna.
Thank you so much.
I can't laugh for real if he is the answer.
Yeah, we didn't get this from Maisie Adams, I tell you that much.
She listened politely to the fact, I didn't question it.
But it certainly, the beep became popular, and a big thing about Sputnik was the fact that it beeped.
And in fact, I think, I think, that's all Sputnik could do.
Pretty much what it did, yeah.
