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 and I am sitting here with James Harkin,
Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Chazinski 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 you, Andy.
My fact is that sometimes racing ferrets fall asleep half way along the course.
So it's a bit like the tortoise and the hare story, except that the hare is a ferret.
The tortoise is another ferret that doesn't fall asleep.
All the animals are ferrets.
Yeah, and sometimes they fall asleep.
I've confused things too much by introducing me.
It's a bit like Sleeping Beauty on the edge of sleeping ferret.
Wishing half way through a race.
I miss that bit of the story.
Just a sleeping bit really.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then handsome prince turns up and kisses the ferret.
He's a ferret too.
This is an article from the Derby Telegraph who did a report.
They've had a ferret race up in Derby recently at a place called Long Eaton and there's no track.
