Pirate ships having strict rules isn't a surprise when you consider a lot of them were ex navy members who were essentially abandonned by their country once they were no longer considered useful.
Not a surprise at all, seeing as an inefficiently run ship meant the crew died in most cases. Even without robbery. Just because they have a predilection for being nonconformist doesn't mean they're idiots.
@@petecowley3481 Lots, maybe; probably not most. Plenty were merchant sailors or, indeed, coming out of the Royal Navy seeking better pay and fairer working conditions. The spread was diverse enough that one of the foremost historians of the golden age of piracy didn't make a distinction as to the main source (Rediker, 1981). My own less researched assumption would be that most privateers were ex pirates, rather than the other way around.
@@alexanderbrown8921 I suspect it depends on which side of the war of Spanish succession were on. Before the war, I’d say you’re right, but after I suspect it’s mainly ex-privateers. Perhaps some were pirates beforehand, then went legal, as it were, then went back to piracy, but given the length of the would it probably wouldn’t’ve been common
it's amazing how quickly the "dubious theory" insert became embarrassing but had to be sat through in entirety twice for each episode. fry cringes to death each time
1:45 Fun fact: in Dutch 'lol' is actually a word used for having fun. You can 'have' lol, you can 'be' lollig and so on. It has nothing to do with the Laughing Out Loud abbreviation.
Just reading about Cal Wilson has taken the fun out of my note: The 3 road signs: camel, wombat and kangaroo are on the Nullarbor in South Australia/Western Australia
Funny thing is in Dutch “lol” actually is a word, an adverb meaning fun (not joking). So Bill Bailey has to be convinced he came to hell when visiting us, LOL.
54:00. I know a waaaay more dubious theory about Alice in Wonderland than that! According to a guy called Richard Wallace, that story, along with other Lewis Carroll works, is actually a hidden confession that Carroll was Jack the Ripper...

@@Mirily It's really weird, it's been edited out of a load of these compilations (having watched QI endlessly growing up, I know these seasons like the back of my hand) I can only assume it's because of the ongoing situation with Israel/Gaza, but the Jerusalem Artichoke has NOTHING to do with the place Jerusalem (or indeed artichokes) and are infact native to North America...

Camels... Starts off the same, Young man asks his question. Old man turns white as a sheet, stuttering "it's the camels, I'm afraid." Later that night, he sees the old man take off like a shot and the old man yells, "run! You don't want to be caught by the camels!"
The Camels roam the Deserts with 'appropriate feet', so not as damaging as the Wild Horses. It is a pity that the Camels are dwindling because the benefit and the fact that Australian Camels have a stronger, more pure Genetic strain and they'll all be gone before this tragedy is realised.
Australia is a first world country. Unless you're lost in the outback, no one starves; and you are far more likely to die of sunstroke, thirst, or snakebite long before you starve.😂
It works out in total to 1.5Mte co2 for all the camels which is equivalent to over ⅓% of Australia's total emissions. Might not sound big but that is quite a lot, ~ the same as 300,000 cars
Ok, so it's not new, but this old chestnut is still funny IMHO (if decidedly crude): There was an young woman from Ealing, Who lay on her back, Opened her crack, And pissed all over the ceiling.
Missing a line to make it a limerick so it would have to be something like There was a young woman from Ealing, who suffered an unpleasant feeling she lay on her back and opened her crack and pissed all over the ceiling. Though I do wonder how you think a lady urinates if you think she has to open her crack to do so
On the subject of lol and omg, for a long time I thought ftw meant fuck the world and would always be confused when it was used. I am in my 40's though so I think I can be forgiven 😂
Fun fact Elephants can't run they just walk really fast. The definition of running is having all feet off the floor at once whereas Elephants always have three on the floor, imagine walking at 40mph
They do talk a lot of bollocks on thias show. How can you seriously claim that all pirate ships had similar rules?! That's not the nature of pirate ships.
I know someone who doesn't know how to use punctuation and puts onomatopoeias into texts where they don't fit grammatically. Using abbreviations in the way they're supposed to be used seems less curious.
There absolutely nothing funny about these jokes. It feels like they can say whatever they want and the audience just laughs like they're getting paid for it, it's so embarrassing to watch this. Why is the host rolling his R in the most disgusting way and what is up with that insufferable horn sound? Are you people dead inside or just desperate to outfunny eachother with basic phrases and references nobody cares about.
Is the rules of a pirate ship bit here twice because it was particularly funny? Or because nothing else in the series was funny enough and you wanted to bring it to 2 hours?
It's because they just steal clips from the official QI channel so if there aren't enough uploaded there, this channel just repeats some to get it to 2h, to make more money from ads. 😑
More and more I realise that Mitchell takes unfunny trilfles and spreads them out to annoyances. Isn't a mildly amusing, short joke enough? Why make us listen to him beating a stillborn horse?
Rhys Darby being taught the rules and etiquette of piracy by Stephen Fry explains so much about Stede Bonnet. 😂

As an act of great pedantry, I must say they were arguably not technically ex-navy, most common was ex-privateer, but the point stands nonetheless

@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138 you're not dealing with a first-class mind here.
With a land mass of 7.69 million square kilometers 45 kgs of methane is nothing
That per camel, so multiply by 1.2 million
