QI Fact of the Day

At ancient Roman dinner parties, a live mullet would be brought in a jar from the kitchen, and the water removed. When dying, mullet change colour like a traffic light, going red, orange and green. Having amused the guests in this way, the fish would be returned to the kitchen to be cooked.

'My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy the ice cream while it's on your plate.'
Thornton Wilder



Air is the key ingredient in ice cream; up to a quarter of the finished article is made from trapped particles of air. Beating the mixture incorporates more air but also prevents large ice crystals from forming, which would make it unpleasantly grainy and hard. This difference in ice cream's cooling texture has led Maria Brumm, an Earth scientist from Seattle, to describe it as a form of igneous or volcanic rock -- under a microscope its structure is almost identical to that of lava.

That's awesome.

Obsidian and granite are the same thing, cooled at different rates.

really? cool. thanks, Zen. quite interesting indeed

QI Fact of the Day

A bullet fired horizontally from a gun, and a second bullet dropped by hand from the same height as the gun, will both hit the ground at the same time. The forward motion of an object has no effect on the pull of gravity.

QI Fact of the Day


A bullet fired from a Kalashnikov weighs only a quarter of an ounce, but leaves the barrel at more than 1,500mph. This gives it a force of impact equivalent to that of a brick dropped from the top of St Paul's cathedral.
