  Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Things a Fish,

• 00:18

  a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.

• 00:23

  My name's Anna, I'm here today with Andy, James and fellow QIL, Alice Campbell-Davies.

• 00:31

  And once again,

• 00:32

  we've gathered around the mics with our four favourite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go,

• 00:45

  Should be.

• 00:46

  Should be.

• 00:47

  So there's been a little bit of research into this, not that much actually,

• 00:51

  but we have cryptochrome in our retinal cells which is what's responsible for pigeons, migration and that kind of thing.

• 00:58

  And we also have magnetite in our brains,

• 01:00

  which is a magnetic nanoparticle which helps direct other animals like bacteria.

• 01:04

• 01:07

  Why can't I say where I live from here?

• 01:10

  Well, Andy.

• 01:13

  Yes, I can actually.

• 01:14

  But only because you know where the river is.

• 01:15

  I know where the river is.
