Kate Winslet in The Dressmaker does the only other good Australian accent I have ever heard, all the other ones sound like some mutant AU/NZ/RSA hybrid.
What is it with young people and stupid language I really don't understand that it's really getting annoying ok you want to change everything so it suits your generation but you're just making up stupid now rage quit what internet site did you get that from
In the first “Making of…” show (search for “ QI s09 e00 Making QI” on here), you can hear Alan explain how his feelings about it changed over the first five seasons.
@Jay Hackett That could be a good explanation. I genuinely tried to find something about it, but the only thing I got was, that it got it's name because it shimmers like moon.
@@Chimera_Photography as insufferable as I find people who complain about the words and phrases that others use, I can't help but agree with you on this one. Right up there with "same".
You are not alone, Unc. Sunfish helped me to recognize/identify my ichthyophobia when, at age 10, I spotted a photo of one in my World Book encyclopedia. The entry on fish had several pages of illustrations and photos which disturbed and fascinated me until I finally understood why I hated going to the fishmonger's shop with my grandmother. 😀|🐟|--😨.
4:17 - The "River" Hamza - is not a river. The water movement is through porous rock at a depth of 4,000 meters. It was originally estimated that the Hamza was moving thousands of cubic meters of water every second... however, that's not what scientist found when measuring it. The "flow" is moving at a pace of just a few centimeters PER YEAR - even slower than a glacier - so the notion that water is being transported in some way is entirely incorrect. It's also not a river in the traditional sense because the water is saline, not fresh. Due to these latest discoveries, the description of the Hamza as a river has now been highly disputed by several geologist, including Jorge Figueiredo, who views referring to the Hamza as a river to be highly inaccurate.
1:47 No, you won't get the bends. It's not pressurized. It's normal atmospheric pressure. You would hardly notice the 500m extra layer of air on top of you just like you would hardly notice the 500m less if you went to the top of the Empire State Building.
@@rexfoxoloughlin6033 I've seen them from towan headland in Newquay.. only rarely when theres a heatwave in mid summer though it seems. First time I'd ever heard of a sunfish was when baffled trying to work out what they were and asking some fishermen. Quite interesting things!
when i was a prek teacher i would tell the kids if they went all the way over the bar on the swings, they would go back in time and if they met themselves the universe would explode
This could have been the episode wherein he'd come straight from the airport after a delayed flight suffering from very bad jetlag. Evidently he simply had to record the episode nonetheless!
Now that I think about it... the biggest thing you've never heard of is very much a question that's impossible to answer. As the moment you answer, your answer makes itself wrong.
@@seanclements6206 Never heard of not... never knew about... if you say the words you've already heard of it once... so... the answer invalidates itself even if your correct answer is just a serious of random sounds to you...
@@squeakybunny2776 ... Yeah... I was just pointing out the wording issue. Read the above comment to know my further description on the topic as you are not the first to debate the topic but you are the first to seem to simply miss the topic.
@@jocomfiresin6982 I'm not debating the topic. I'm debating your notion:"now that I think about it". What do you mean now that you think about it. As if it was an afterthought after the video ended that just came to you. Your "debate" was already raised and closed in the video itself....
The most dense the concentration of water reaches per cubic meter of air is 30 grams at saturation. The "river" of water vapor therefore does not carry as much water as any of the rivers Alan mentioned as a cubic meter of water contains 10,000 grams. As usual, the information QI uses in order to trip up the contestants is wrong.
@@jamespfitzI didn't realise that was an option. Can I do that? If so, what process must I go through, or whom must I contact? This is great news. There are so many channels that are going to be hearing from me. Thanks mate!👍
Not only is the Ocean Sunfish fairly well known, but you also get them around the Cornish and southern Irish coastlines too……… But, most people wouldn’t know, that they are bullet proof, and inedible……………
Sunfish surely are found in British waters - they're regularly recorded in Irish waters every summer. Bound to be a few around Cornwall or western Scotland. I'd love to see one, my mate has seen them on a couple of occasions
What do you mean "impossible"? Allright, this might be a Baltic region thing but in Latvia as kids we've done those 360 swing loops both - standing and sitting!
The reason it's usually impossible is that people are trying it using swings suspended by chains rather than swings suspended on rigid poles. A typical chain swing has to remain under tension all the time, while the poles depicted here don't collapse under compression like a chain does. With a chain swing you'd have to go from a slow swing back and forth into a really fast swing that has centrifugal force stronger than gravity all the way around, in *one repetition*. If it takes more than one swing to work your way up to that speed, your chain collapses on the intermediate swings prior to that speed and you fall in. When you have stiff poles, on the other hand, then you don't collapse the swing on those intermediate repetitions so you have time to work your way up to the speed where you go all the way around.
@@wilkatis Do you guys in Latvia also do 360 with the large wooden swings for multiple people? In Estonia, you can see people doing such things, usually around mid-summer eve.
@@tarksurmani6335 While I haven't done it myself, I have seen people doing it! Most of the wooden-pole swings I've seen do have height limiters however, limiting how high you can actually swing. As far as traditions go swinging is a big thing during the Easter, but it's definitely a summer time thing aswell. Actually, on a not-so-fun note, a guy I knew died as a wooden swing collapsed on him while doing those loops. So maybe it's not the best idea to do so
Me too. They have a stuffed one in the Museum of Natural History in Gothenburg. Appeared in Swedish waters, probably swept here by the Gulf Stream (klumpfisk).
The issue with the sun fish is that I had heard of it before this episode came out so it not the largest thing I’d hadn’t heard of. Mola mola are so cool.
At one point in Australia some children from war torn Kosovo came over and Channel Ten gave them a march pack of pens and other such stuff from popular programs at the time - it backfired a bit when one of the pens had Just Shoot Me written on it!
OMG Atmospheric Rivers!! That's what has been kicking Californias ass recently with 9 storms in a row! ... I was actually quite pissed off that I didn't already know about those, because I know a crap load of useless interesting trivia. Little did I actually know that it had been covered on QI already probably like 10 years ago. Seems 'tis I who is getting the ass kicking today.
Not true I have seen molas off the British coast, they follow currents, and if the water is cold, they lay on the surface to warm up. There are many around Bali. Saying they like warm water, when they dive to huge depths where the water is cold to hunt.
I watched a rather short hairy guy with very powerful legs do the overthetop swing at Maryland Rennaissane Festival. it' really quite breathtaking to watch.
Depending on how much you know, the Shinano class CV of the IJN. Sunk c. 1945 by a USN submarine and the largest ship sunk to this day by a submarine *and* the largest carrier in the World including the Essex class until the advent of the USN's Midway class CVs c. 1948.
My God, I don't think I've ever seen Sandi look as good as she does in a school boy's uniform. Pity she's gay, and married, and 2000 miles away, and gives zero fex who I am!
Nothing like some incompetent editing from the get-go to make me not bother with the rest of the video. How hard is it to include the initial question?
