We ran it on QI a few years ago, which was, there's no such thing as a fish.
There's no such thing as a fish.
No, seriously, it's in the Oxford Dictionary of Underwater Life.
It says it right there, first paragraph, no such thing as a fish.
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'm sitting here with three of the regular L's.
It's Andy Murray, Anna Czazinski, and James Harkin, and once again,
we've gathered around with our favorite four facts from the last week, and here they are, in no particular order.
Andy Murray.
My fact is that over 100 people used to watch King Louis XIV get up and get dressed every day.
Did he know they were there?
Yes, he did.
So was it like a window display?
No, people would come into his bedroom and watch him.
Hundreds.
It's the ceremony called the Leve as in the French verb for getting up,
and it was kind of to ease the king into the day.
That would be quite good if you got up in the morning and brush your teeth, and you got a big round of applause.
That would really help your day start.
