Idk if it's because I've only ever seen the compilations since Fry left but I prefer Sandy I think, just find she has a better rapport with guests and audience
There is one called QI innuendos and rude bits. Not all Stephen Fry but funny all the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TilkHhUXAS0.html
@@jackdog06 I know that it's in the video, but everybody acts like there is some hidden meaning to that! I mean almost everything could be an euphemism: punching the munchkin, polishing helmet, lego building...
Phil can dish it, but he can't take it. He flirts with Stephen in one episode where they have pencils between their teeth, and there's a ''special muscle'' joke that flusters Stephen immensely, giggling now thinking about it.
I did the custard thing in primary school, but I used a tin can with 3 candles in it, a tube at the base, and custard powder over the tube. I don't know they'd let you do that as a kid anymore
Chemistry is not my cup of tea, but Stephan makes it entirely exciting and quite fun. Never thought I'd ask couldn't I have Stephan Fry as my Chemistry teacher?!
I used a Custard Powder example to teach about Classified (Hazardous) Locations. If you were wondering, powder is Classification 2, Division 1 (Where dust is always in dangerous quantity), and Class 2, Div 2 (present only in fault condition); or Zone 20 (when dust is present always), Zone 21 (present only in fault condition) or Zone 22 (briefly present).
I knew I shouldn't have smoked a joint for New Years Eve tonight yearning for our back-to-back episodes of the Twilight Zone that helps me make sense out of this crazy world we find ourselves in. This channel showed up, glad I didn't do a hit of mescaline first cuz I'm dying of a coronary over here. This is the funnest shit I've ever seen.
Golden opportunity missed. When Sandi was counting down, one of the boys should have fired early, and then said "sorry, that's never happened before" or something to that effect
You can do that custard powder experiment with coffee creamer. Mythbusters on Discovery channel USA set fire to a whole heap of it abd the explosion was huge. Look for dairy creamer cannon around you tube
through the gauzelike curtain of the forevermore, someone whispered, "how did you all die?" "i was killed in the war." "there was a famine." "i got the virus." "Stephen Fry pumped us with flaming hot custard."
@@gljames24 Chlorine trifluoride would do it, that stuff oxidizes practically anything including glas, sand, water, and all metals, even the notoriously unreactive gold. It can only be stored in steel, copper, or nickel containers and not because it doesn't oxidize them, but because the resulting rust sticks to the metal protecting it from further contact with Chloring trifluoride. As long as you don't bump or shake it, or scratch the protective coating off. If it touches your skin, the moisture in your skin will make it explode. If your skin is dry your skin will ignite after which the blood under your skin will explode. If that doesn't kill you, the explosions result in a cloud of acid steam, and if that doesn't kill you both the substance itself and anything it turns into after reacting with you is toxic as hell. For such a dangerous substance the list of safety equipment is very short and a bit unusual, since it only contains one item: A good pair of running shoes. (Dr. John D. Clark) Anyway, my point is: anything is flammable in powder form if you replace the O2 with ClF3.
Question to any biologists watching. If dark colouration absorbs more energy why did man lose the skin pigmentation when migrating away from warmer climates? Surely it would be evolutionary advantageous to absorb energy to reduce calorie requirements to maintain body temperature?
Cold air/water draws heat away much faster than simple solar radiation in the higher latitudes can put it in, so it would not be an advantage to be darker-colored.
The big evolutionary benefit of fair complexion in the colder climate is production of vitamin D which is cucial for many physiological procecess eg. calcium metabolism.

When I was a young child, 8 or 10 in US 50 years ago, we could literally go into the chemist (just we kids) and buy powdered salt peter, sulphur, or any manner of chemicals we wanted with which to make loud or colourful combustibles.
Not that it's a bad thing, [i mean,it doesn't offend me],but the amount of sexual innuendo and double entendres on this show amazes me and i don't think any Australian TV audience would be accepting of it. Surprisingly to some,maybe, Aussie TV viewers are pretty straight when it comes to that kind of stuff,i reckon.
Only if she drinks Coke not Pepsi...Oh, hang on, wrong Sandy.... www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2018/06/01/john-travolta-finally-discusses-whether-sandy-dead-grease-40th-anniversary/657235002/
that convoluted apparatus is a terrible way to illustrate combustable powders ... simplicity shows it clearer .. simply put a pinch on the desk and blow it with a straw over a flame ..
That's a stupid stat. By the same logic you could also probably say that being a librarian is more dangerous than playing Russian roulette because more librarians die of old age than people play Russian roulette
