  • We ran it on QI a few years ago, which was, there's no such thing as a fish.

  • You think 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.

  • Once again, we've gathered around a microphone to discuss our favourite facts from the last seven days.

  • My name's Andy Murray, and I'm joined by three other QI elves.

  • Their names are James Harkin, Molly Oldfield, and, on fact-checking duty today, Anna Chazinski.

  • We also have a special guest with us today, whose name is Mark Abrahams.

  • And for those of you who don't know him, Mark is the founder of the Ig Nobel Prizes,

  • which is a series of awards given out every year for pieces of research

  • that first make you laugh and then make you think.

  • So, as an example, this year's probability prize went to a team of scientists for making two related discoveries.

  • First, that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely that cow will soon stand up.

  • And second, that once a cow stands up, you cannot easily predict how soon that cow will lie down again.

  • Hello, Mark.

  • Hello, thank you for inviting me to your elf cast.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you for coming along.
