1. This programme contains some strong language.
Copy !req
2. Good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening.
Copy !req
3. Welcome to QI.
Copy !req
4. - Now, you mentioned the gluteus maximus.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
5. The ass muscles there. This a true thing, right?
Copy !req
6. It is physically impossible for the human buttocks to break an egg.
Copy !req
7. - That is true.
Copy !req
8. That is absolutely, 100% true and I've tried it and...
Copy !req
9. And... the beautiful thing...
Copy !req
10. - You mean put it in the crack, in the cleavage?
- As much as you want.
Copy !req
11. He's not allowed to work in kitchens any more.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, if you put the egg between the buttocks and it doesn't matter
Copy !req
13. how hard you squeeze, impossible to crack the egg.
Copy !req
14. Now, here's the thing, I know that to be true.
Copy !req
15. There might be people watching this who question that,
Copy !req
16. - and I'd like to think all over the country...
- People are now.
Copy !req
17. Introducing eggs into the area...
Copy !req
18. "Is Noble lying or not?"
Copy !req
19. I mean, if you got somebody laying there, you put an egg there,
Copy !req
20. if somebody else is there to go like that...
Copy !req
21. - But then that's not the muscle doing it.
- Ah, OK, yeah.
- That's the point.
Copy !req
22. - You can't...
- It's the muscle. Can you by a twitch, pulling in?
Copy !req
23. - Exactly.
- I'm doing it now.
Copy !req
24. The problem would be...
Copy !req
25. "Oh! That Cadbury's Creme Egg is gone."
Copy !req
26. That's probably melting rather than...
Copy !req
27. I think the worry is that you do it, the egg could go right up.
Copy !req
28. - Is that a worry?
- You see, that's interesting.
Copy !req
29. Now, what mania was started by a few myopic Merseysiders?
Copy !req
30. - BUZZER
- But weirdly...
Copy !req
31. No, keep going... Does this buzzer stop Jimmy speaking? Try again.
Copy !req
32. - I was just going to say...
- BUZZER
Copy !req
33. There's some support for it.
Copy !req
34. I find the buzzers really disconcerting.
Copy !req
35. It does feel like somebody's about to get murdered.
Copy !req
36. - 'Oh, go to bed.'
Copy !req
37. - There's a childish ghost cries.
- 'Mice!'
Copy !req
38. Myopic Merseysiders. Myopic's short-sighted, is it?
Copy !req
39. - Yes, short-sighted.
- Partially sighted.
Copy !req
40. So what M could help you with partial sightedness?
Copy !req
41. - My glasses?
Copy !req
42. Yes.
Copy !req
43. Any particular type of ophthalmic instrument that would help the...
Copy !req
44. - Monocle.
- Monocle is the right answer.
Copy !req
45. There we go. Very good.
Copy !req
46. Yeah.
Copy !req
47. I only knew that cos there happens to be a monocle next to me.
Copy !req
48. It was a bit of a giveaway. There you are. Pop them in.
Copy !req
49. It was a fashion thing that seemed to sweep Liverpool...
Copy !req
50. I can't imagine it taking off again, to be honest.
Copy !req
51. You do look very...
Copy !req
52. "George, me old pal."
Copy !req
53. Jimmy, you have never looked more like a ventriloquist's doll.
Copy !req
54. THEY MOUTH WORDLESSLY
Copy !req
55. He really did look like Lord Charles there.
Copy !req
56. I now feel slightly haunted.
Copy !req
57. The word meteorology comes from the Greek for things high up
Copy !req
58. and in terms of high up, they used to use frogs
Copy !req
59. for telling weather forecasts.
Copy !req
60. They built them little ladders and put them in a jar.
Copy !req
61. They thought if they went up the ladder, it was going to be fine.
Copy !req
62. If they went down the ladder, it was going to be a bit wet.
Copy !req
63. You are getting an idea here. LAUGHTER
Copy !req
64. Did frogs even know what ladders were?
Copy !req
65. - I don't think they had to know what they are.
- Did they just...?
Copy !req
66. - Instinct to climb.
- It could've been anything,
Copy !req
67. - it didn't have to be ladders?
- It didn't have to be.
Copy !req
68. "Where's the frog?"It's halfway up."
Copy !req
69. "Well, which way is he looking?"He's looking down."
Copy !req
70. "Just say scattered showers. Scattered showers."
Copy !req
71. - I think you're right.
- "Sunny spells, sunny spells.
Copy !req
72. "Just do a cloud with a bit of the sun, half of the sun."
Copy !req
73. What if it was foggy. "He's got an escalator, it's foggy."
Copy !req
74. Maybe he's just trying to get out the top. He's trying to escape.
Copy !req
75. One day, the ladder is right up to the top
Copy !req
76. and the frog has fucked off. Then what's going to happen?
Copy !req
77. He's left a note, "I have no idea what the weather is going to be.
Copy !req
78. "I'm out of here."
Copy !req
79. There we have it.
Copy !req
80. - I'll tell you an interesting thing about Queen Victoria.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
81. When she died,
Copy !req
82. towards the end of her life... LAUGHTER
Copy !req
83. - Go on.
- I feel guilty about telling you.
Copy !req
84. She won't find out.
Copy !req
85. She was wider than she was tall.
Copy !req
86. - Really?
- So?
Copy !req
87. No, tell us more about old...
Copy !req
88. She was 59 inches tall
Copy !req
89. and she was 66 inches wide.
Copy !req
90. - Wow.
- Bless her.
- Really?
Copy !req
91. - But wide or...?
- Well, in circumference.
Copy !req
92. - Yeah, I was going to say.
- Sorry, not wide.
Copy !req
93. Couldn't have possibly been...
Copy !req
94. No, sorry.
Copy !req
95. No, circumference. Yeah.
Copy !req
96. - I don't mean width.
- Here she comes!
Copy !req
97. All the way round was 66 inches.
Copy !req
98. - "We're going to have to knock through."
- Yeah.
Copy !req
99. Can't get through any of the doors.
Copy !req
100. And that's how the Victoria line starts...
Copy !req
101. - She needs a pew of her own.
Copy !req
102. The Albert Hall was just a cast of her body.
Copy !req
103. This is her bust size I'm talking about. 66.
Copy !req
104. - 66 bust?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Crikey.
- Good lord.
Copy !req
105. - She was very short.
- Ooh, yeah, some loving there.
Copy !req
106. Alaska's state motto is "North to the Future".
Copy !req
107. Don't know what that means, but it's... There it is.
Copy !req
108. They all have mottos, these states,
Copy !req
109. and my favourite one is Kentucky.
Copy !req
110. Kentucky's known, really, for two things. It's called...
Copy !req
111. - Fried chicken.
- Well, yeah, apart from that.
Copy !req
112. It's called the Bluegrass State,
Copy !req
113. but it's bourbon and the Kentucky Derby, the race.
Copy !req
114. And somebody came up with a two-word phrase for Kentucky
Copy !req
115. which encapsulates both those things,
Copy !req
116. which I think is rather brilliant.
Copy !req
117. Pissed horses.
Copy !req
118. That would do it.
Copy !req
119. No, it's Unbridled Spirit.
Copy !req
120. - Ah!
- Isn't that clever?
- Very good.
- Genuinely clever.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
121. No, that's great.
Copy !req
122. That absolutely shits on North to the Future.
Copy !req
123. It does, doesn't it? It's got to be said.
Copy !req
124. Because if there's one place you do not want to head north from,
Copy !req
125. it's Alaska
Copy !req
126. cos there's fuck all of the world there.
Copy !req
127. You want to go south.
Copy !req
128. - You want to see stuff...
- South to the Future.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
129. North to the Future, maybe you'd say from Argentina.
Copy !req
130. - Yes.
- Alaska, South...
Copy !req
131. North in Denial of the Rest of Humanity.
Copy !req
132. - Head into the Snow and Die.
- North to the Massive Tundra.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
133. Wishful thinking, exactly.
Copy !req
134. But, in terms of anagrams... This isn't an anagram,
Copy !req
135. it's actually a limerick composed by someone,
Copy !req
136. - which I invite you to recite to me.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Copy !req
137. See if you can.
Copy !req
138. - Eh?
- Yes.
- Oh.
- That's a shock, isn't it?
- Yes.
Copy !req
139. - And you can do it.
- Can you?
- Yes, you can.
Copy !req
140. - It is a limerick.
- OK. OK.
Copy !req
141. You have to ask yourself what these numbers are, in fact.
Copy !req
142. - They have some other...
- A dozen and 12 dozen...
- Ah!
Copy !req
143. But 144 is also called a...?
Copy !req
144. A gross.
Copy !req
145. So, a dozen, a gross, a score
Copy !req
146. plus three times the square root of four.
Copy !req
147. Divided by seven.
Copy !req
148. You're all right. You're doing well. That's five...
Copy !req
149. - Calm down. Do I have to slap you?
- Yes.
Copy !req
150. The episode of QI where Stephen just slapped me.
Copy !req
151. - So, say it again as a limerick. You can do it now.
- Yes, yes.
Copy !req
152. - Go on.
- Go on, then, Susan.
Copy !req
153. - A dozen...
- A dozen...
- A dozen, a gross...
Copy !req
154. A dozen, a gross and a score...
Copy !req
155. - Plus three times the square root of four.
Copy !req
156. Divided by seven plus five times 11 equals nine squared...
Copy !req
157. Plus not a bit more.
Copy !req
158. - There you are.
- Yeah!
- Well done.
Copy !req
159. Now, who would like to see some milky magic?
Copy !req
160. Cos I want to show you...
Copy !req
161. Stranger danger!
Copy !req
162. I wish I hadn't put it like that.
Copy !req
163. If a man says this to you in a park, say no.
Copy !req
164. - Would you like to see my milky magic?
Copy !req
165. You know what I meant.
Copy !req
166. Would you like to see my milky magic?
Copy !req
167. OK. I've got some... Mm, yeah.
Copy !req
168. Mm, lovely milky things.
Copy !req
169. Stop saying it!
Copy !req
170. Well, now, because... Here we are.
Copy !req
171. Now, this is just a thing about milk -
Copy !req
172. - there's never enough, you always want more.
- Yeah.
- But...
Copy !req
173. - Bear with me.
- Milky magic!
Copy !req
174. Here we have... here we have some milk.
Copy !req
175. Now, what I'd like you to do
Copy !req
176. is just transfer it along the way
Copy !req
177. from smaller to larger glasses,
Copy !req
178. as you can see.
Copy !req
179. And, well, this'll fill it about halfway up, maybe.
Copy !req
180. Just checking the size, really. Let's just see how much...
Copy !req
181. - Oh, well, that fills it up completely.
- Oh, that's weird.
Copy !req
182. That's all right, that's good,
Copy !req
183. because we've got more than we started out with.
Copy !req
184. - and that's got to be a thing...
- Fast forward.
- .. with milk.
Copy !req
185. - We've got...
- No!
- What?
Copy !req
186. - There we are.
- Oh, that's weird.
- Got to have that, haven't you?
Copy !req
187. - No!
- That makes sense.
Copy !req
188. And then see if we can get even more,
Copy !req
189. because what we're doing is earning ourselves lots and lots of milk...
Copy !req
190. - Wow!
- Oh, man.
- .. which has good to be good, surely.
Copy !req
191. - There we are.
- Can you do this with wine?
Copy !req
192. - Here we are.
- Oh, no! You're Jesus!
- We've got even more.
Copy !req
193. That's it.
Copy !req
194. There. Do you like that?
Copy !req
195. After World War II, in America they used surplus parachutes
Copy !req
196. to help repopulate beavers into the wild.
Copy !req
197. The idea was that they'd shove them in a box.
Copy !req
198. They first thought, "We'll shove them in a box, they'll fall,
Copy !req
199. "and they'll gnaw their way out of the box."
Copy !req
200. This doesn't sound like sexy times to me.
Copy !req
201. - "Shove them in a box."
Copy !req
202. They worried they'd eat through the box while they were still in the air.
Copy !req
203. - Then they chucked them out of a plane?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
204. - To repopulate...?
- Yeah. Huge areas of wilderness.
Copy !req
205. - It's incredibly hard to get them out...
- Yes, makes total sense.
Copy !req
206. .. give them their own territory.
Copy !req
207. Couldn't they have driven them there, Stephen?
Copy !req
208. No, they... Wilderness, huge areas of wilderness.
Copy !req
209. They're bigger than countries, they're bigger than England...
Copy !req
210. - What, beavers?
- No, the parks. LAUGHTER
Copy !req
211. - "Bring me some massive beavers."
Copy !req
212. - In the parks in which you wish to drop them.
- OK.
Copy !req
213. And you want to sort of get them disposed evenly around.
Copy !req
214. - Why have they been dying out?
- Oh, gosh...
Copy !req
215. - People have been throwing them out of planes.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
216. "If you don't fall out, you can gnaw your way out of your crate."
Copy !req
217. You go, "Oh, thanks a lot.
Copy !req
218. "Well, this is the middle of f... cking nowhere.
Copy !req
219. "I've got to go all the way back to Ottawa."
Copy !req
220. Until another beaver lands on your head at high velocity.
Copy !req
221. They had tried moving them into new territories for them by mule,
Copy !req
222. and they just simply got too hot, and they really didn't like it at all.
Copy !req
223. - They put a beaver on horseback, essentially?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
224. They've got to transport it somehow. How would you transport...?
Copy !req
225. I don't understand why the beavers...
Copy !req
226. - I don't understand any of this.
Copy !req
227. So they thought, "OK, there's no way we can drop them into a park
Copy !req
228. "other than from the sky..."
Copy !req
229. Or by mule, which you found also incomprehensible.
Copy !req
230. Is there a man with - or a lady - with a beaver on horseback,
Copy !req
231. - or is it just a beaver on horseback?
- Well, no.
Copy !req
232. Of course there's a person.
Copy !req
233. I'm confused!
Copy !req
234. So, is it one beaver per mule?
Copy !req
235. Because, then, we're repopulating the place with mules
Copy !req
236. - as far as I can work out.
Copy !req
237. The beavers didn't want to stay.
Copy !req
238. The mules have forced the beavers further along.
Copy !req
239. They're relying on the mule to find its way back.
Copy !req
240. More complicated than you think, this beaver transportation.
Copy !req
241. Yeah, it is.
Copy !req
242. Well, that was harder work than I expected.
Copy !req
243. Erm... LAUGHTER
Copy !req
244. But, on the subject of Mary Queen of Scots,
Copy !req
245. do you remember who her husband was, by any chance?
Copy !req
246. Darnley, his name was, her husband.
Copy !req
247. He was murdered. He was actually blown up.
Copy !req
248. This is a very extraordinary story.
Copy !req
249. One of the presumed architects of the explosion
Copy !req
250. was a fellow called Archibald Douglas -
Copy !req
251. a pair of his shoes were found at the scene of the crime.
Copy !req
252. ALAN GIGGLES
Copy !req
253. "Where's your shoes, Archibald?"
Copy !req
254. - "Oh!"
Copy !req
255. You've always got to take your shoes off before a dynamite -
Copy !req
256. that's what I say.
Copy !req
257. But he later gave an account of Mary's reaction.
Copy !req
258. - So, this is Mary, her husband has been blown up.
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
259. "She sent for a number of light ladies and women
Copy !req
260. "to come to Holyroodhouse
Copy !req
261. "and participate stark naked in a ball.
Copy !req
262. "Then they had cut off their pubic hair
Copy !req
263. "and had put it in puddings
Copy !req
264. "to be eaten by the male guests,
Copy !req
265. "who were sick."
Copy !req
266. Is that what you do when your husband's blown up?
Copy !req
267. Was she just trying to...
Copy !req
268. you know, like, trying to get back to normal life?
Copy !req
269. "First, let's just carry on as we were."
Copy !req
270. "Get your pubes and put them in that pie."
Copy !req
271. "It's what he would have wanted." LAUGHTER
Copy !req
272. Actually, I think this might be quite clever.
Copy !req
273. Probably, if your partner is killed in a horrific way,
Copy !req
274. all anyone is ever going to talk to you about is,
Copy !req
275. - "Aw, what happened to your husband?" But, now, no.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
276. - "Why did you have that pube party?"
Copy !req
277. - "What? Why was it in...?"
- It's all the detail we have.
Copy !req
278. "Two things, Mary - number one, condolences, number two..."
Copy !req
279. It's all the detail we have, sadly.
Copy !req
280. But the actual person who took the rap for the murder,
Copy !req
281. he was hanged, drawn and quartered
Copy !req
282. on the basis that he was the one who discovered the scene,
Copy !req
283. which seems a bit unfair.
Copy !req
284. - His name was William Blackadder.
- Oh!
Copy !req
285. Meh!
Copy !req
286. It's true. LAUGHTER
Copy !req
287. Oh, stop it. Don't.
Copy !req
288. Now, show me the symptoms of bicycle face.
Copy !req
289. - Bicycle face?
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
290. That's with goggles.
Copy !req
291. No, these are wheels.
Copy !req
292. Oh, I see! Sorry. Of course they're wheels.
Copy !req
293. What is bicycle face? When you get sucked off by your grifter?
Copy !req
294. Wow!
Copy !req
295. - Wow!
- I better go.
- Yes. No.
Copy !req
296. That's the right answer. That's what I've got written on the card.
Copy !req
297. That's amazing.
Copy !req
298. On my card, in this universe, on the other hand,
Copy !req
299. I've got something else.
Copy !req
300. The Literary Digest in 1895 warned women cyclists...
Copy !req
301. - Don't know why I'm looking at you.
- I'm a woman. That's OK.
Copy !req
302. You've identified me as a woman.
Copy !req
303. It's going to get worse, I'm afraid, this thing is.
Copy !req
304. "Overexertion, the upright position on the wheel
Copy !req
305. "and the unconscious effort to maintain one's balance
Copy !req
306. "produces a wearied and exhausted bicycle face."
Copy !req
307. - "No-one will marry you!"
- Yes! LAUGHTER
Copy !req
308. "The main symptoms are a hard, clenched jaw and bulging eyes..."
Copy !req
309. Wasn't sure where you were going to stop at
Copy !req
310. after "hard, clenched" there.
Copy !req
311. "..as well as being flushed or pale."
Copy !req
312. - Either of those.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
313. And, "Wearing a haggard, anxious expression."
Copy !req
314. That's just the fear of patriarchy - that's what that is.
Copy !req
315. "I'm under so much pressure."
Copy !req
316. Some doctors said that,
Copy !req
317. "Cycling would irritate the pelvic organs
Copy !req
318. "and stimulate women to disturbing lusts."
Copy !req
319. If you can't get it at home, you get it on a bike, right, ladies?
Copy !req
320. Get your stimulated pelvic organs, right?
Copy !req
321. - Well, there's a downside, according to a French expert...
- Of course.
Copy !req
322. .. who said, "It would ruin the female organs
Copy !req
323. "of matrimonial necessity."
Copy !req
324. Now, Cariad, tell me, your organs of matrimonial necessity...
Copy !req
325. - Excuse me? What are you asking me?
- I'm just hoping that...
Copy !req
326. "Hello, Wembley, we're the Female Organs of Natural Necessity."
Copy !req
327. - It's funny, cos the clitoris...
Copy !req
328. - I'm just going to draw a picture.
- La-la-la-la...
Copy !req
329. She said it! She said it! She said it!
Copy !req
330. SHE IMITATES ALARM
Copy !req
331. I've drawn a rainbow, everyone - it's all right.
Copy !req
332. Where's Sue Perkins when you need her?
Copy !req
333. The clitoris is actually a very large organ...
Copy !req
334. Shush, Cariad!
Copy !req
335. .. and... it's just literally the tip of an iceberg.
Copy !req
336. When you say, "LITERALLY the tip of an iceberg"...?
Copy !req
337. I knew I was looking for it in the wrong place.
Copy !req
338. - There was an artist in New York...
- In the Arctic Ocean.
Copy !req
339. Yeah, an artist in New York?
Copy !req
340. .. and she made, like, this, obviously not to scale, clitoris,
Copy !req
341. and she got women to ride on it.
Copy !req
342. But it literally... it's huge.
Copy !req
343. It's like there's this bit
Copy !req
344. and then there's these two other huge bits that are in the body...
Copy !req
345. - I was looking behind you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
346. - Behind me just here.
Copy !req
347. - Wow.
- It's way bigger.
Copy !req
348. But you have two, don't you? It's one under each arm?
Copy !req
349. Have I... have I got this wrong?
Copy !req
350. - Alan, help me out.
- It's OK. I didn't bring mine with me today.
Copy !req
351. So to say it damages the marital organs, is, again...
Copy !req
352. So, how much more of it is there, then, going...?
Copy !req
353. Oh, my God. Guys, do we have to, like...?
Copy !req
354. Is this the bit where I tell you about... explain it to you?
Copy !req
355. A woman, at some point in your life,
Copy !req
356. should've explained this to you, but perhaps...
Copy !req
357. I've never seen such fear in all your faces!
Copy !req
358. A man called Miura, who's an aeronautical designer,
Copy !req
359. was doing solar panel foldings
Copy !req
360. and he came up with this way of doing it.
Copy !req
361. And you... all you have to do is that, and it folds.
Copy !req
362. You just push the corners together.
Copy !req
363. - And it doesn't matter what...
- I bet...
Copy !req
364. What's more, it doesn't get, it doesn't get... Sorry?
Copy !req
365. It wouldn't work if you gave it to me.
Copy !req
366. - Stephen, did you...?
- Well, I'll give you one.
Copy !req
367. The one that you've got there, is that a map of Mars?
Copy !req
368. You've got one there.
Copy !req
369. And you just take the top right and bottom left corners
Copy !req
370. or any other way.
Copy !req
371. - Is that, that way?
- It's so folded, it just does it by itself.
Copy !req
372. Take the corners and push them together.
Copy !req
373. That's it! Jeremy, you did it.
Copy !req
374. - But this man is the greatest genius who ever lived.
- Isn't he?
Copy !req
375. I know. It's fantastic.
Copy !req
376. - Who is he?
- He's called Miura. He's a...
Copy !req
377. God.
Copy !req
378. Of course, what you don't realise, he was trying to make a crane.
Copy !req
379. Koryo Miura, his name is, and they are very handy.
Copy !req
380. I would've been so fucking pleased
Copy !req
381. - if I'd invented that.
Copy !req
382. Well, there are other things you can do with folding.
Copy !req
383. I've got some tissues here, and...
Copy !req
384. - Oh, what are we doing now?
- Oh, origami.
Copy !req
385. I'm going to give you each a tissue, right?
Copy !req
386. - So, I'll pass...
- OK.
Copy !req
387. There we are. Pass down. Oops.
Copy !req
388. - What are we doing with the tissue?
- What are we doing?
Copy !req
389. - I'll have one here.
- OK. So, what are we up to?
Copy !req
390. What you're trying to do is scrunch it up...
Copy !req
391. - Oh, yeah. OK.
- ..like this in your hands.
Copy !req
392. You scrunch it up.
Copy !req
393. - And then...
- You stick it right up your bum.
- No.
Copy !req
394. You don't...
Copy !req
395. You try and think of an animal. Then think of an animal.
Copy !req
396. I'm thinking of a swan or something.
Copy !req
397. - I've really scrunched mine up.
- Think of a swan.
Copy !req
398. You see? Like that. Can you see my swan?
Copy !req
399. - Do I have to think of a swan?
- There you are.
Copy !req
400. And we've heard the marsh warbler.
Copy !req
401. The monotonous lark is so-called cos it's monotonous...
Copy !req
402. A monotonous lark.
Copy !req
403. "Come on, we're going on a monotonous lark."
Copy !req
404. We're going on narrow boat holiday in Norfolk.
Copy !req
405. - Hey!
- THAT is a monotonous lark.
Copy !req
406. I went on one of those.
Copy !req
407. "Oh, that'll be fun."
Copy !req
408. "Yeah, let's go on a narrow boat holiday,"
Copy !req
409. and everyone was taking turns doing the engine.
Copy !req
410. Cut to a couple of hours later, everyone downstairs drinking wine.
Copy !req
411. Me, upstairs...
Copy !req
412. HE IMITATES ENGINE
Copy !req
413. .. for three days! Three days!
Copy !req
414. - There...
- HE IMITATES ENGINE
Copy !req
415. - Oh, golly.
- "Do you want a glass of wine, Bill?"
Copy !req
416. "No, no, I'm fine. I'm here, I'll be fine."
Copy !req
417. - HE IMITATES ENGINE
- Worst weekend of my life.
Copy !req
418. It begins with M, this particular life form.
Copy !req
419. - It got rid of all the oxygen...
- Mouse.
Copy !req
420. - Sorry?
- Mouse.
- It wasn't a mouse.
Copy !req
421. You've got the right consonants.
Copy !req
422. Consonants. All right.
Copy !req
423. M... m... m... m...
Copy !req
424. M and a S. M and a S.
Copy !req
425. It's wonderful how he's coming on, isn't it?
Copy !req
426. - It's moss.
- Moss!
- Moss.
- Moss!
Copy !req
427. - Moss is the answer.
- Oh, how boring.
- Yeah, hard to believe. Moss.
Copy !req
428. - It was like a phage. It ate away at rocks...
- Right.
Copy !req
429. Hey, look, Cariad - there's an iceberg like your clitoris.
Copy !req
430. - You're learning!
Copy !req
431. I mean this, Alan, you can get more...
Copy !req
432. If you've just joined the show...
Copy !req
433. I can usually predict almost everything
Copy !req
434. that's going to be said on this show, but,
Copy !req
435. "There's an iceberg like your clitoris," is a new one.
Copy !req
436. That's exactly what I was talking about.
Copy !req
437. Don't just work with what you see.
Copy !req
438. Now you've got to work with more, underneath it.
Copy !req
439. - There's not moss on it, is there?
- Yes, mate. Keep the moss on.
Copy !req
440. What's wrong with you? Don't want to look like a child.
Copy !req
441. - Wear your moss and be proud, ladies.
- You're right.
Copy !req
442. Interestingly, you only get moss on the north side of a lady.
Copy !req
443. - That seems fair.
- Oh, Lord.
Copy !req
444. Depends how long she's been at the bus stop.
Copy !req
445. I went on a bus once.
Copy !req
446. End of anecdote.
Copy !req
447. It wasn't a bus, it was a coach,
Copy !req
448. and it had a lavatory in the middle of it.
Copy !req
449. You know, you go down some stairs into the bowels of the thing.
Copy !req
450. And the driver was a very, very, very large man
Copy !req
451. who could barely get behind the enormous wheel.
Copy !req
452. And he pulled the bus over,
Copy !req
453. and he prised himself out from behind the wheel
Copy !req
454. and went down the aisle - a bit of a squeeze -
Copy !req
455. went down the... stairs,
Copy !req
456. disappeared into this cupboard.
Copy !req
457. - And we all waited.
Copy !req
458. Then when he came up, he said,
Copy !req
459. "No-one can use the toilet. It's full."
Copy !req
460. Charming!
Copy !req
461. And then he got behind the wheel and drove off.
Copy !req
462. Where are most missionaries positioned?
Copy !req
463. Matt?
Copy !req
464. I'm going to guess that most of them are in Utah,
Copy !req
465. where the Mormons tend to kind of congregate,
Copy !req
466. because they haven't yet been assigned their places to go to.
Copy !req
467. Interesting, interesting answer,
Copy !req
468. but I'm talking about which is the country
Copy !req
469. that receives the most incoming...
Copy !req
470. Well, I'm not talking about that.
Copy !req
471. No, no. LAUGHTER
Copy !req
472. I'm talking about them before they've gone.
Copy !req
473. So, I'm not asking where the most missionaries come from, I'm asking...
Copy !req
474. I know, but I am still getting to that point.
Copy !req
475. This doesn't work by you answering the question that I haven't asked.
Copy !req
476. OK.
Copy !req
477. - My guess is China.
- Yeah, it's a possibility. Well, it's not...
Copy !req
478. It is a possibility, but it's not a fact.
Copy !req
479. - Is it in Africa?
- It's not Africa, no.
- Is it England?
- No.
Copy !req
480. England's a much, much closer... KLAXON BLARES
Copy !req
481. - South America?
- Not South America. Not SOUTH America.
Copy !req
482. - Central!
- North America?
- North!
- North America!
Copy !req
483. - America. United States.
- Really?
Copy !req
484. Well, I think you'll find Utah is in America.
Copy !req
485. - Ooh!
- Yeah, impressive.
Copy !req
486. Ooh! Look.
Copy !req
487. It looks like a happy face that's taken a lot of drugs.
Copy !req
488. - It does a bit, doesn't it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
489. But what is it, Stephen?
Copy !req
490. Well, I just want to know who first wrote the theorem
Copy !req
491. that this model demonstrates?
Copy !req
492. - Pythagoras.
- Pythagoras.
Copy !req
493. Oh!
Copy !req
494. My grandfather, who was from Hungary,
Copy !req
495. always pronounced it Peeta-goras. LAUGHTER
Copy !req
496. "At school, doing the mathematics,
Copy !req
497. "are you studying Peeta-goras?" LAUGHTER
Copy !req
498. And I thought this man, Peter Goras. Who is Peter?
Copy !req
499. - No, it wasn't Peter Goras who first proved it.
- Ah.
Copy !req
500. What is it, the theorem that needs to be discussed here?
Copy !req
501. A squared equals B squared plus C squared.
Copy !req
502. - Yeah. It's the...
- The sum of the two... the squared...
Copy !req
503. The sum of the two squares is equal to the sum on the hypotenuse.
Copy !req
504. - You can see that.
- That big one should go into the other two.
Copy !req
505. So, you can see here, the yellow, that's the triangle.
Copy !req
506. These are its two sides.
Copy !req
507. And these are the squares of the two sides.
Copy !req
508. They are literally geometrically expressed as squares
Copy !req
509. rather than just mathematically as if that was, say, X,
Copy !req
510. it's just not X squared, but it's literally the square there.
Copy !req
511. Then there's Y squared
Copy !req
512. and it's supposedly equal to Z squared,
Copy !req
513. which is the longest side, the hypotenuse.
Copy !req
514. Cos here's the right angle. Here.
Copy !req
515. These are not right angles, obviously.
Copy !req
516. And... there's that...
Copy !req
517. How can we show they're equal?
Copy !req
518. Well, there are all kinds of ways, but here's one way.
Copy !req
519. - Drumroll, please.
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
520. All right, let's go.
Copy !req
521. - Ooh!
Copy !req
522. Oh, that's very clever.
Copy !req
523. There it goes. Pouring into the first square.
Copy !req
524. - Wow.
- Expensive.
- Is it going to fill it up?
Copy !req
525. - Oh! Well, it definitely equals X squared.
- Yes!
Copy !req
526. Does it equal Y squared as well?
Copy !req
527. I need to go to the toilet.
Copy !req
528. There's a Y squared. It's filling up.
Copy !req
529. It's filling up, it's filling up. It's full. And there it is.
Copy !req
530. There it is.
Copy !req
531. Isn't that satisfactory?
Copy !req
532. Highly satisfactory.
Copy !req
533. Now time for a short interval. Who wants an ice cream?
Copy !req
534. - There we are.
- Me, me, me, me. Pick me.
Copy !req
535. Yeah, go on. Take a couple.
Copy !req
536. We've got some leftover, of course.
Copy !req
537. - Wow.
- There you go.
Copy !req
538. - Johnny?
- Oh, yes, please. Thank you, my love.
Copy !req
539. I've got chocolate. I don't really like chocolate.
Copy !req
540. I've got raisin. I don't like raisin.
Copy !req
541. - Do you want to swap?
- Yes. No, I'd like vanilla, please.
- Oh.
Copy !req
542. - Just swap.
- You can have another flavour.
- Yes!
Copy !req
543. - I've got strawberry.
- That'll do me.
- All right.
Copy !req
544. - Oh, you've already had a bit!
- Yes!
Copy !req
545. How else would I know I didn't like it?
Copy !req
546. Well, do what I did - just sniff it and lick it.
Copy !req
547. Don't do that!
Copy !req
548. - People who sniff...
- Don't take a lump out.
Copy !req
549. You must have very warm hands cos this is already melted.
Copy !req
550. I'm having a hot flush!
Copy !req
551. - It's one of my superpowers!
Copy !req
552. - Mine's turned into a slushy!
- Yes!
Copy !req
553. You're going to a dinner party
Copy !req
554. and they've forgotten to get the ice cream out of the freezer -
Copy !req
555. - I just hold it against my neck...
Copy !req
556. and it's spoon-soft in seconds.
Copy !req
557. - While there's barely any...
Copy !req
558. - Right...
- I don't want to do this in front of Stephen...
- No.
Copy !req
559. .. but the next time, we're having ice cream. Just...
Copy !req
560. Don't have her on my team.
Copy !req
561. Do you have any HRT-flavoured ice cream?
Copy !req
562. - No, this is delicious. Thank you very much.
- Good.
Copy !req
563. This is what I think life would be like in a nursing home.
Copy !req
564. Anyway...
Copy !req
565. - What flavour have you got?
- Bingo!
Copy !req
566. - So what was the biggest nuisance in the Victorian theatre?
- I like peas!
Copy !req
567. - I've got a fly in mine.
- What was the biggest nuisance
Copy !req
568. - in the Victorian theatre?
- I've got to tell this.
Copy !req
569. - What was the biggest nuisance in the Victorian theatre?
- I've got to...
Copy !req
570. What was the biggest nuisance in the Victorian theatre?
Copy !req
571. - Please...
Copy !req
572. What was the biggest nuisance in the Victorian theatre?
Copy !req
573. Yes? Any thoughts?
Copy !req
574. Ice cream?
Copy !req
