Hello, and welcome to another episode, and 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'm sitting here with James Harkin, Andy Murray, Anna Chazinski, and special guest Tim Minchin.
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, Tim.
Okay, my fact is that Bulgaria has an agency that shoots rockets to kill hail.
To kill it.
To kill it.
Well, to minimize it.
It's preemptive strikes, hail strikes.
So I thought all this weather manipulation technology was bollocks, but apparently it's not.
So Bulgaria has lots of agrarian, Bulgarian land, and they grow stuff, and hail damages crops a lot.
And because of its geography and its variable landscape, there's lots of hail.
And so they use seeding techniques to, well, there are various ways you can lower hailstones by seeding.
So do you want to know about it?
It's really super boring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll try and make it more boring than it actually is.
