"Wu-Tang Clan killer bees on the storm" is the best thing I've ever heard in an Irish accent.
That was a treat
If you want to gauge someone’s ability to multitask, you need to have them do things they ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO!!!
Yet again Alan shows he's actually very knowledgeable and cultured. Love that guy
I really wish the description had the original air date for these episodes.
OMG Sarah has unlocked a childhood memory, i used to worry about spontaneous combustion too! It was like quicksand or lava, i definitely thought i would need to deal with it a lot more than i have!
Quicksand was definitely a big fear of mine when I was young...
It's actually good fun if you know how to get unstuck!
Why did we share these kinds of fears growing up?
Another fav of mine... such a wonderful trio of guests and, of course, Sandi and Alan are brilliant as always. 🌻
There is a wonderful David Gray song called Jackdaw that starts with the line "I'm like a jackdaw cawing at your back door." So, yes, Alan, someone has used Jackdaw and Backdoor.
Jackdaw backdoor sounds like an invitation to a pelvic x-ray and a visit from the RSPCA.
Love the way Sandi pronounces 'Groningen' (I live there)
Thank you for another full episode!
40:19 when i sneeze it sounds like either a lazer firing, the wilhelm scream, or if you were rock climbing and the person above you fell past.
After watching, what seems like dozens and dozens of QI, - I still haven't got a clue how they score it !
There is a video of the producers/writers/researchers talking about how they score them. However after they said how, I was even more confused.
Claxons are -10, I think...
correct answers are 1 Point except when the host says otherwise
Claxon is indeed minus 10. However, don't forget that the total recording can take up to one and a half hours from which halve will never be seen in the final cut. It is thus very possible that they cut 5 claxons. That is not helping ofcourse.
@@achilleshiel I definitely didn't know klaxons were -10; I assumed they were -1. Them being -10 however most certainly explains why Alan often ends up with -50something!!
Putting aside how they do the scoring itself, I've never understood how whoever is keeping the score actually KEEPS TRACK of the score, what with everyone always talking over each other!!! 😂
Multitasking is being able to move back and forth between different activities, not doing them all at once. When I was young in Customer Service I could stop in the middle of one thing to do another thing and then get back to the original and know exactly what I was doing without thinking, though maybe my ADD was part of that. I think its more a misunderstanding of what multitasking actually is.
What is that tinnitus app? I need lol
yeah me too.
@@bluetongues9824 And still, no one's come through for us 😭
As a cook/chef i am multitasking for over 30 years........
Great point, we haven’t had any spontaneous combustion’s for ages..... what’s happened there I wonder
We still have spontaneous combustion but the rate is down considerably. And since spontaneous combustion used to primarily happen to people living in the slums it's thought that it mightve been coal dust and open fires for heat that caused the brief spike in the 1700s and 1800s
Thank you.
The fact that two grown ass white men even older than me aggressively acknowledged Wu Tang, its left me feeling quite seen
OK, this took me a while. I tried to find the numbers mentioned in the 'reading in bed' topic. I couldn't find them. However, than it occurred to me that there's an incompatibility in the text. It says there were 34 deaths in fire caused by reading in bed (so this is about deaths), and that's the same number as the number of fires started by cats, but that's about numbers of fires, not deaths by fires started by cats. I did find an article containing data about fires in Londen from the same period, but over 17 years, and of the 1649 causes of the fires 'in private dwellings' 222 were candles, but only 8 were by cats. Curtains were the major cause, far over 500.
Portuguese here: we do say "little saint" (santinho/santinha). It supposedly stems from the time of the black death, as a way to show comiseration for the person, because they'll soon be going to heaven. I also had a botanics teacher in college who used to tell us when we sneezed "little devil. At your age, I don't believe you're a saint."
I'm a man, and I like to brag. TRUE
27:11 This reaction to traces of fentanyl is an urban legend, propagated by 1. stories like this and 2. videos showing people, who believed these stories and had a panic attack, when they *believed* they had come in contact with fentanyl. This drug is potent but does not aerosolize and could not do anything to a human body when touched or inhaled.
Exactly. If it was possible to get high just by touching it people wouldn't go through the trouble of injecting it.
I once put a fentanyl patch on someone and passed out. I didn't even know what it was.
“Once“, “someone”, that sounds specific and how or why you passed out instead of the person you put that “fentanyl patch” on remains totally unclear. Just as the totally irrelevant question why you were in possession of that patch and why you applied it to that “someone” in the first place.
Feel free to join back in when you have something of substance.
Pun intended.
@SuperArnie my friend had both of her legs crushed in an accident. She asked me to put the patch on her for pain she was experiencing. I had never heard of fentaynal. This was in 2020. I opened the patch and put it on her back. I immediately felt dizzy and sat in a chair in her room. That was it. She told me after that it was stronger than heroin.
🌟🌼👍💜
WOULD SO MUCH LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEY SAYING BUT I'M DEAF AND NO SUB TITLES.........
So was "S" the final series? Should be "T" time by now.
15 seconds with google shows that series T started airing in november '22 and finished in februrary
Tea time is usually later in the day isn't it?
Ye olde towers of Hanoi... 128 moves to solve with 8 disks.. assuming no mistakes
Don´t do that accent with that haircut... :D
When you do it...? Right here, right now, Sandi. We'll sell it on tape, make a bundle, put the bundle on a stick, and hit the road in search of new jobs and a new home.
Different countries also have onomatopoeia for the sounds animals make but nobody claims that the animals make different sounds in different countries.
I breed mice for a living. They do not have noisy sex. It's noisy when the female rejects the male. In some cases she will even bite off his manhood to make sure she doesn't have to breed with him. They are fun little creatures.
Raining outside was it?..? How weird,is that why we build waterproof houses?? One of the dummest things to say,same as i saw it with my own eyes...really how astounishing....how the f... else would you have seen it???
I always hate the argument people cant multitask when people drive and talk all the time with zero problems but apparently that doesn't count
Why aren't people allowed to talk on the phone while driving?
Oh no,, Sarah Pascoe. Gonna pass on this one. David got it right that time on WILTY "The good thing is that now we know a third of their team is an idiot."
So that thing about the sneeze being a learned affectation
How come in every language Sandi read out, it was almost exactly the same words or word sounds used?
Its obvious some people really take the piss with their sneezes, but im not sure i believe ALL of us are doing it for dramatic effect or whatever
They also say that Yawns being "infectious" is also a learned affectation, which i find to be much easier to believe than the sneeze thing
I mention this yawn fact because for some reason ive yawned 4 times while writing this 🥱
For anyone curious about inflatable tanks - - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_tank#:~:text=In%20one%20operation%20in%20September,landings%20at%20the%20Normandy%20Beaches.
One of my favorite WW2 stories!
Thanks. I was going to post that inflatable tanks were real, but I didn't have a link. Good job!
