55 分钟Hello and welcome to another Working from Home episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast not coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Chazinski,
Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin 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 you, Anna.
My fact this week is that when people accidentally swallow coins their stomachs sometimes punch holes in them.
I think this is so cool and it's quite a new thing.
I'm not suggesting you should swallow a coin to test it out, but- Anna,
when you say it's quite a new thing, do you mean in the past when people swallow coins it's not done that?
Yes.
Wow.
So you didn't mean
that coins are a relatively recent human invention and we didn't have the capacity to swallow them until 8,000 years ago.
I didn't mean that.
No, people have been swallowing coins since time immemorial.
It's just that our stomachs have evolved is what you're saying.
Exactly.
In the last 20 years our stomachs have completely changed.
No, that's not what's happened either.
Coins have changed though.
