Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray,
James Harkin and Anna Czazinski and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order,
here we go.
Starting with you, Czazinski.
My fact this week is that in Amsterdam the roads are paved with used toilet paper.
Let's catch his gold.
Yeah, Dick Whittington is very different there and this is a really cool thing actually.
So the road constructor in the Netherlands called KWS has realised that to make a kind of improved version of tarmac,
it can use the cellulose that it gets from recycled toilet paper.
So the toilet paper goes into the sewage system,
you flush it into the sewage system and then they basically put it through kind of a sieve which gets the poo out and keeps the paper Oh that's important.
It's a really important stage of this whole process.
It is.
You don't want to be driving on poo.
No.
But all walking on it.
All walking.
No.
