I'd love to see them do an experiment on that. :P

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words.

Someone on the radio today asked if anyone could sneeze with their eyes open.
I think the answer was the one you said.

Pretty sure it's already been busted.. Not that interested to look tho.
Pluto is considered by some to not be a planet nowadays, too small and icy Stephen said, echoing the elves in his ear.

Anyways, just passing through..

Place names. There's a place called hel, iirc, and places a and b. A guy who's name escapes me travelled from a to b and to hel and back in order to reclaim the word "literally". Think he was dubbed the literal tsar at the time.


Also I kinda forgot/couldn't be bothered to post the latest QI episodes but they're still all on youtube, several times and with the XL episodes too.. If anyone's interested.

Hi, Fudo, glad to see you again!

Anyhow, I don't think that Pluto should be fired from planethood, just because some humans feel it (he?) does not meet their standards!

This is how Aspies and Auties have been treated, and it simply is not fair.

I shall continue to include Pluto in my concept of the solar system.

There were once restrictions against showing toilets on television.

Full moon can never rise in the morning or set in the evening.

There is one joke in Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey". When Dave goes to use the toilet, there is a long list of instructions on the wall that he leans in to read intently.

Well it was humans who made it a planet, but anyways.

On phobias, acrophobia is the fear of heights.


…and something to watch.

I have to comment on this, no offense intended. – There is no clear-cut borderline between Europe and Asia, the continents merge gradually into each other. Hence, there are several towns that can be said to be located on two continents. For historical reasons, Istanbul is the most outstanding case, but it is not alone. Magnitogorsk, Russia, is a good candidate together with numerous other Russian cities.

Unicode character U+1F4A9 has the name PILE OF POO.
(I wasn't shouting with my caps. Unicode character names are referred to with capital letters.)
