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

  • Yeah, 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 edition of No Such Thing as a Fish, coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.

  • My name is Dan.

  • I'm sitting here with the regular three L's, James, Anna and Andy,

  • and once again, we are going to go over our favorite facts from the last seven days.

  • Fact number one, this is my fact.

  • And the fact is that 30 million Chinese people live in caves.

  • Whoa, really?

  • Yeah, I've been reading a Paul Theroux book called Writing the Iron Rooster.

  • I was initially reading it because of a fact I'd read a long time ago.

  • He was talking about all the great Chinese inventions.

  • He said, you know, the Chinese invented paper and, you know, gunpowder and wheelbarrows.

  • And the guy who was telling it to him in the book ended by saying,

  • we even have wheelbarrows in China that you and the West don't yet know about.

  • What?

  • Yeah, that was the most exciting sentence.

  • Wait a minute, what could this be that's different?
