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.
