Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin, and once again,
we have gathered around 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's my fact,
my fact this week is that firefighters use ping pong balls to put out wildfires.
Do they fire the ping pong balls from enormous ping pong bats?
You're thinking here perhaps that the ping pong balls are also enormous, are you, Andy?
Are you thinking that the wind from waving the bat might put out the fire?
Well, I was thinking of one massive one per wildfire, and you just load it up with water, and then you drop it on.
Yeah, are they filled with water?
They're not, and I should just clarify for the listener, Andy is wrong as well, that is not how they do it.
What this is in fact is, these are little ping pong balls,
they call them ping pong balls, I couldn't officially find if they were,
you know, taken from a ping pong ball bag, but they look exactly the same, and they are carried.
What's a ping pong ball bag?
You were laughing at ball bag, James, I saw it.
I wasn't, I was laughing at the idea that someone might have invented a specific bag to carry ping pong balls in.
And according to Dan's definition, nothing is a ping pong ball unless it has been taken out of a ping pong ball bag.
