How to open jars - hit the bend of the lid (where it bends from the top down the side) hard with the back of a butter knife. It breaks the seal and the lid can be unscrewed easily.
@@tc2486 The knife is much quicker. You don't need hot water or the sink.

Alas, the QI researchers misled Stephen: democracy was not born in Athens. In fact, it was imposed on two of the Greek islands a century earlier by the conquering Parthians, who (it is believed, though there's no documentary evidence) wanted the Greeks to spend so much time squabbling with each other that they would be unable to unite to rebel against their overlords. Much of what we think we know about democracy is the consequence of Victorian invention and has no solid basis in fact.
You don't think the answer is pretty obvious? If you had to compile over an hour's worth of clips, you might make the same mistake. And you might not want to sit through the whole thing to make sure that you didn't. You might just post it knowing people would be happy.
Love these early episodes were the other 3 panelists tried their best to give semi sensible answers and then you just had Alan driving Stephen mad with his class clown antics, problem was everyone saw how many laughs Alan was getting and started stealing his schtick and pretty soon Alan was playing the sensible one
Not entirely sure what "pinto" has to do with being small besides its similarity to "pint" or "pint-sized", but that seems to be the context he's using it in because he's referring to the "crude(ly)" drawn penises.

I knew that little bit about a newly-elected Pope. I think there is a scene in the tv series, "The Borgias" where this ritual is performed! I can't recall if there was just one of the Cardinals performing the "inspection" or whether it was several.
It isn't true though. The whole Pope Joan story was debunked centuries ago, and there's no evidence that this ritual ever happened even in medieval times. Gyles Brandreth should really know better.
The sound you think is eagle, is red tail hawk. Also used by Hollywood so much that it is now the sound of an eagle.. And.. tigers do not sound like they do in movies. And if you hear a bone snapping, that is wooden sticks or celery stalks being snapped, head smash is a pumpkin or a melon being hit with a bat etc. If you listen them eyes closed, you can often hear what they actually are, bit the moment you see it being associated with some action on screen, your head decides to combine the two. McGurk effect also demonstrates how easy it is to fool your ears, which is always funny to show to an audiophile who has no formal training whatsoever and claims they can hear things at quantum level..
The bit about light being invisible is such an odd thing for them to have said. Sure light isn't visible if it's going somewhere other than into you eye, but everything you see is light. It's like saying that sound is inaudible (unless it goes into your ear)
Pluto should be a planet again, since they discovered the complexity of it's surface during the fly by. The whole thing of declassifying it as a planet was a smear campaign started by Clyde Tombaugh's rival from pure jealousy, once Tombaugh died. Pluto needs its planet status back!
Apparently I'm wrong but thought it was common practice to wed a dead brothers widow. Allowing her to retain the status and honours of the married woman.
The whole thing about buying Alcoholic Drinks for children under 18 in a Restaurant or beer garden really doesn't hold up in reality. I recently went out with relatives (To a Restaurant), 1 of which was my cousin who was over 18. He forgot his ID and his dad tried buying him an alcoholic drink and was refused. He actually Said, I thought the law was I'm allowed to buy it on his behalf? Still got refused. The law may state what Stephen said, but in reality, If you're not 18 or you can't prove it if you look younger, you ain't getting served. Once again, what the law states verses what actually happens are very different.

The best part of QI is the panelists slowly driving Stephen insane.
He's like a teacher in a classroom and all the students are the class clown.
The part with the lava lamps and then Ronny and Jimmy going "sir, sir, sir!" is one of my favorites. Peak classroom vibes.
