Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode of Little Fish. Now the reason I'm talking to you before the actual show starts is because we have that little audio flood this week and the microphones unfortunately failed. But luckily for us, the microphones on the cameras that we're using to record the episode they did work. But unfortunately they are not quite the same quality as the ones we usually use. And so we sound a little bit like we're at the bottom of the well for this episode. So I've listed back to it. Wonderful tech elves have done lots of lovely magic to make it as good as possible. So hopefully it will not impede your enjoyment of this episode too much. Really hope you enjoy it. We really wanted to put it out because the facts were so good. We had a great time recording it. We think it's a really great episode. So I hope you can get past the bad audio. Apart from that, there's not really much else to say I suppose. Thank you very much for listening. We really appreciate every single one of you who listens to the episodes. And really we won't be able to do this without you.

So thank you very much. We don't get to say that very often. So yeah, thanks. Okay, anyway, enough from me. Hope you enjoyed this week's episode of Let's All Fish. I'm with the podcast. Hello and welcome to another episode of Let's All Fish. Our weekly regular audience fact show. My name is Andrew Hunter Murray. I'm here with James Harkin and Anna Tajitsky. We've gathered with your best facts from the last seven days. So let's kick off. Let's have a fact. Doug Steen is who this fact is from Doug, D-U-G. No, oh, very interesting. Then that's not even the most interesting heart of this email. Doug Steen says that reindeer, the etymology is a combination of the old North, crane and deer, where deer means animal and crane means reindeer.

So when we say reindeer, we're actually saying reindeer. Time wasted. And it's time wasting. It's like ATM machine and pin number. So we should just call it a rain? We should just be calling it a rain. It feels like I've lived a more confusion. Yeah. Does that mean all animals are deer's? Yeah, I believe so. Oh, that must be confusing for the Vikings. Oh, no. Another deer? Yeah. Oh, you got killed by a deer. That's a good point. You've had the deer today. Yes, deer. Ha ha ha ha. Hard one at second. You've grown this out. We get a deer, a standard deer. So we get that from old North as well. And it just means animal. I guess maybe it's the only animals they had. Don't push all that. That's true. Don't write to the Vikings. Yes. Bloody runes, filling up their mobs. Oh, yeah, going to come to your town and chop me head off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Steer all your gold. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, that's a great fact. Only deer. Really good. Although it did get quite confusing in the email, which I should repeat from Doug, who says reindeer means reindeer animal and thus brackets reindeer animal animal

or brackets reindeer animal animal, adds in for item, which I'm not sure quite makes sense. I think you're saying if you say reindeer animal, you're actually saying reindeer animal animal. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if anyone say that. reindeer animal. People very rarely say reindeer animal. Because there's not another meaning of the word reindeer there isn't the animal. I don't think there is no. No, no. So that wouldn't come up. But aside from that, a great email I thought. Very good. Here's one from Christian Berlin. And it's also a bit Scandi. It's very Scandi. Christian says that the only national anthem that mentions Sweden in any way is the Polish national anthem. Yeah. And the Polish national anthem basically mentions loads of different countries according to the website Brilliant Maps. Which actually is a really good website. No, it doesn't sound like it. But it is a really good website. They do loads of amazing stuff. And I have checked this on other websites. And it's definitely true. Is it like we will beat Sweden into the ground? There is a ton of that in there.

Yeah. The Polish anthem. You should know this. I should sing it every morning. Yes. Can the events this family do to the British national anthem? Yes. I only know the original Polish and I wasn't sure about the translation. Of course, because of course the Polish word for Sweden is very different. Actually, the Swedish national anthem mentions the North. Oh, as a sub-ufamism for Sweden. I'm just going to know your country. But it doesn't say Sweden by name. You know, the British national anthem doesn't say Britain, does it? No, it doesn't. It doesn't have anything, does it? I guess that's because it's so old. I just think you don't say your own name as often as you say other people's to you. I've never said the name. Of course you do. You speak about yourself in the third person. Hello, I'm most of us. Well, what about O'Cattodill or Advanced Australia Fair? Can I go on New Zealand? Yeah. Can I go on that? Well, we do mention one country in the British national anthem.

Scots. In some versions. Well, the later verses have some rather decidedly unworked stuff about rebellious Scots to crush. Yeah, you're right. There is a verse about someone called Marshall Wade who's going to crush the rebellious Scots. But that is very much non-canon, I would say. It was kind of a verse that was invented in the 19th century because in those days we were a little bit anti-scots. But now we're all mates. I don't know that it was put in later. In certain, there are a few like verses which were sung for a little while, but there weren't sung afterwards. Interesting. And that's one of those. It's non-canon. Although, ironically, if you were going to crush rebellious Scots, you were probably going to be called a few cannon. Yeah, multiple cannon. Good use of the plural cannon. Yeah, yeah. There was something to enjoy, isn't it, the plural cannon? Yeah, absolutely. Singular plurals are terrific. Or an expected plurals. Courts, Marshall. Courts, Marshall and beauty. I mean, a bit of a hack-need example. Exhaust, love it.

Exhaust, love it. Exhaust, love it. I believe that's in the German national anthem. You're from the Netherlands. Oh, can I do one? Yes. Here's a fact from Tony. Tony says, I have a fact for you. The continents of America and Europe are moving apart at the same speed as a fingernail grows. This means, if you stand at Lanzen, which is the southwestern, the most point of the UK, and point west, your fingernail is stationary and you are moving backwards. LAUGHTER No notes. I think that's terrific. Yeah, really? But both sides are moving away from each other, right? I guess. I swat the way I thought you were going to go is that the end of your fingernail is always the same distance from America, and I'm at a level of install. That's a real mind-exploder. You know, I've heard that fight before, and I always think of it whenever I cut my fingernails. Stinging! I do, I think, because my fingernails grow relatively fast. Yep. How do you know, do you ask other people how fast they're square?

Relasive to what I imagine they should grow. LAUGHTER I didn't say when it was realistic. Oh, gosh, has it been that long since I've come with fingernails? They've grown so fast. That's why I do think a lot. I find it incredibly variable, so I am sometimes extremely surprised. In fact, we're right now, to be honest. It is variable. OK, this is the great thing. Your fingernails grow more in the summer, in the pop country. Which we've become. Oh, yes. So it shoots a global warming. We're all going to be like RuPaul. Does RuPaul have long fingernails? It was the first person I could think of. I don't know. No, I don't. I still don't know. It was a great reach. LAUGHTER But that's probably just a more blood flow in your fingertips, basically. Is it? When it's a bit hotter, there was a doctor called William Bennett Bean, who spent 35 years from 1941 studying his own fingernail growth. He concluded that nothing has any effect on fingernail growth. I think he was wrong. Just a bit of the kick in the teeth, right, then. I know someone who cuts one fingernail a day,

because they think it's more efficient. Lupi, it's not. Then doing all you want is just so. So, the extra work that's being done is finally the Clepper's getting them out of the cabin net over and putting them away again. If you're doing that ten times instead of one, I'm sorry, there's just no way that's not working. Oh, he cuts the fingernails every ten days. He's psyched. Very accurate. Do you ever get further out of the toes as well? Ten days. And 20 days is about right. 20 days is about right. Yeah, but you'll have a constantly shifting border, of course, you'll. I used to say that's my mum's she used to say, if we clean up a little bit all the time, then it will save us time overall. And I was like, no, the best thing to do is to make a load of mess. Yeah. Well, once cleaned it all up, that's the most efficient way of doing it. It is. Which is why you can't use that argument as well, then. You just got to say, I like it being tidy more than one cent of the time. I don't like living in a shit pile because once a month you want to clean it. No, I think that is that is sort of sensible thing, that was thing. I think I'm going to start doing that with my hair. Oh, I've just got to go in every day. Yes, just another five heads, can I just get a brush with one, two, every twenty minutes.

Stop the phone, guys. Sorry. That's a James too. Anyway, this is a vacuum James Ralph. Something I came across, which I thought was a bit fishy. And I know, as mentioned, is that the Soviet typhoon class submarine was so big and they were meant to be under, I was going to say, ground, but under water for such a long periods, they had a swimming pool, gym, sauna, and avery. No, that's what you see. It is that extraordinary. Oh, birds. I know, it's not that fun. It's it, but maybe that if birds are in a cage, so they care if it's above water or below water. Why do they have an area though? To keep morale up. Yeah, until six. That's a key morale up, it's much of one dog. That's it. On the limits, it cuts all fish for them to have in the cage. Oh, yes. Yes. The lucky thing. Anything. Is it like canaries in a coal mine, maybe? Yeah, because they notice that when there's been a pressure change, for all the canaries of day, or in a different area. Yeah, and what do you do? What do you do? You're in a submarine, yeah.

Yeah, I think must be morale, so you can sing that seed ditties and have them accompany you. That's a good point. Yeah, thank you. No, it's nice of you. You wouldn't have a dog on a submarine for a start. I think a dog would be more unhappy then. Those. The poos. Because it's already a fat, flushing poos on a submarine, isn't it? Because it's really at a dying tip, place the poos, especially when you do what tip. Oh, I'm very happy. Oh, fuck. Oh, the dog, the James Trade. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, that's really amazing. It is very amazing. Oh, something else very cool that he added is that he mentioned that there are actually massive things and they were meant for missiles they were carrying. And they had a double hole layout. So there was an outer wall that was like water filled. It was kind of like a tent in the an empty and then the in between it was water filled in casing an inner wall. So as he points out, if you took a toy submarine and put it in the indoor pool there, you'd have a sub in water in a sub in water in a sub in water.

Oh, maybe it's really nice. Like the rocher doll of fire. Oh, and it's so nice. There we go. Very good. Yeah, that's a good one. So good. Another watery one. Oh, yeah. And after leaving the marks, brother Zeppo Marx invented the clamp which held the little biotomic bomb in place on his flight to Hiroshima. No way. Yeah, Zeppo Marx. He was an inventor. It turned out to be invented sorry, he invented what invented the clamp which held the little biotomic bomb. So what it is, it's a clamp which holds cylindrical things together. Do you know if you have a hose pipe and you need to attach the end of the hose pipe onto your sprinkler thing? Is the bag well? Oh, there's things that never work. Yeah, there's little, those little metal things that never work and you have to tighten them and they kind of make a seal. It's not that. Okay. But it's very similar to that. Because when I saw an image of it, I thought, oh, it's one of those things. So I could just say that thing and everyone will know what I mean and they'll know what the clamp is.

But then I looked more carefully and it's very slightly different. I think it is good that they didn't go with that clamp device or first atomic bomb because those things never ever work. And I don't want a loose atomic bomb rolling around in the planet. No, because whenever you use those, you get the sprinkler and it's not working. You turn it off to your face. Spray it off into your face. Imagine if that happened with an atomic bomb. So that's only because Jerry the mouse has been standing on the hose and there's a huge bulb of water that spills out behind it. Yeah. But yeah, it's that how he was like a proper inventor. He invented a wristwatch that checks your heartbeat and can tell you if something was going wrong in your heartbeat. Which is like a watch. Like a Fitbit, right? Well, when he was talking, like 1969, he invented that. Oh, my. There was a Mark's brother. Yeah, but was he the lesser? There were three of them, right? There was four. Oh, yeah. And there was a fifth who was, I think, a non-competent. I mean, not the second one, Laura. I mean, like he was, he was not in the Mark's brother. You're in the Mark's brother. There's Chico Harpo graduate.

Yeah. And I think there was George. George. Ringo. Like the Kardashians. I feel like there's one Kardashian that's not there. Susan. I think what you're thinking of actually is that he was a guy from Black Sabbath. Was your spawn. The Osborn. So was one Osborn who was never in the Osborn. Oh, really? She did a hard to be in the TV series. Okay. Yeah. Anyway. He also, one of the things he invented, this is really cool. He invented a thing where you could put two beehives together without all the bees fighting each other. How about you invent that? Was it a ferramon? It has like a reverse bend, which has a queen excluder in it. Because it's the queen that calls all of the fighting. So they're basically all the bees can go in and out, but the queens can't go from one to the other. So it stops the drones and stuff from fighting each other. It's done. That's really funny. So most of those inventions, the clip for the Hiroshima bomb, the Fitbit or the anti-fight exploder.

Do you think was the biggest invention? Which one did you want to talk about in chat shows? I mean, I think they're all completely inconsolent. What? The collaboration. The clam. Who cares? It's like, oh, like the marks brothers here with this idea for the clam. Okay, well, that's great, but it's not. It is not. Otherwise, they couldn't have picked it up though and just had a big bomb sitting in America and not knowing what to do. So it was quite important. I guess. You think someone else might have made a clam if he hadn't? I just think if you're in charge of the Manhattan Project and you're in charge of this hugely significant doomsday device, there's just a risk that if you get one of the marks brothers involved, I guess it's a bit... He is one of those early hours. Sorry, but the three stooges are not available. Imagine if we invented the ultimate weapon and the guy responsible for delivering it to the battlefield was Michael Mashlingtire. And we just think, ow! Is he going to do a bit? Iraka McIntyre is a secret agent working for the government. 100%. The light entertainment stuff is just a cover. Why do you think that?

Because no one could possibly devote their life to that? No, because you're so good at it, obviously. You must be getting a lot of help. I see. You see how I turn that around? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The government. If it's good, anything, it's crafting community. I got another from George, who says, I thought this was fascinating when I overheard it mentioned by a geography teacher. Quite interesting. Always promising. Overheard it mentioned by a geography teacher, so some clear of George was in the lesson and not really listening and just sort of overheard it. Or if George was in the pub next to someone who's clearly a geography teacher, you know, because he's very cordial, whatever. Sorry, geography teachers. Anyway, I love this fact. The wrong foot to upmins to branch of the London Overground. Okay. So brought to the North London marks the furthest line of ice penetration during an ice age. Well, I interest now, listen, I've been fooled before by ice age related facts.

Yes, you have. Elephant in Cornwall made the road network there. Well, the ice definitely didn't die as far as Cornwall. No, but it did get as far as the Horn Church till. Now, if anyone's looking for a metal band name, I think Horn Church till is actually quite good. It's a glacial deposit and it contains all these rocks and fossils, which were basically carried down from the Midlands, further north of London, 450,000 years ago, the most extreme ice age of the last two and a half million years, this one, got as far south as North London. Yeah, then it stopped. Well, we want to go south on the ridge. Not this time of night. And basically, there are all these rocks and fossils in there that we've, you know, you can tell because of where they belong in the land that have been carried out. It is so cool. It's quite, I think it's quite metal. It was discovered in 1892 by a geologist called TV Homes, Homes and Sherlock Homes, quite out to Google him because you search TV Homes. Yeah, I just find the latest shell at the place. Exactly, yeah. And this ice age, it's so cool, is the reason that the Thames go through London,

because the Thames used to go through East Anglia, north of London, came out of the sea in Clackton in Essex, and it now, it was pushed south into another valley by the advance of the ice sheet. You know what I used to think, and I thought I was a genius thinking this, that the rocks at Stonehenge were brought down by that ice age, because that line where Stonehenge is pretty much as far as it got as well. I agree. And I was sure like, I absolutely nailed the origin of Stonehenge. It was just definitely not true. I have plenty of evidence that people carried the mother from Wales. Oh, that's just awesome. The BBC publishing articles about the origin of Stonehenge every two weeks. It's definitely not true. So I think you should give it all cool. But there's all this stuff of like ice age Essex, there's the Clackton Elephant Bed and the West Thurick Lion Pit. There's all this rock stuff. Yeah, very cool. I just love it. So anyway, yeah, the Thames, just think if the Thames hadn't been pushed south, London wouldn't have a river going through it now. Just let them one be there. Yeah. Well, no, it'd be there, but without the river going through it. We can download the branches and stuff.

So there you go, super thought. Yeah, really is. Yeah, I do. Anyway, thank you George, I love that face. Yeah, really cool. That's amazing. What about this one from Kate Haines? This is that in World War II, one of the plans preferred to stop Hitler, which was a very important aim at the time, was to feed him carrots laced with estrogen in the hopes that this would feminise him, and make a meek and mild like a sister apparently. I didn't know he had a meek and mild sister. Did he have a meek and mild sister? So got through Hitler. I think there was a sister called Paula. Paula, she said. It's bad, isn't it? It's hate. Yeah, I think his sister was called Paula. I think it was perfectly well. She was called Paula. The chills have a little mustache. That was that Hamlet right? That was a hamlet right. That was a hamlet right. Oh dear. I don't know how meek and mild she was, but they're also... Probably meek and milder though, which it wouldn't be difficult. That's true. There were also his in laws, if you remember, the Scouse. Yeah. But that's because he had a different sister's husband, maybe, or I'll, no, I'll why maybe his brother married someone

who only lived in Liverpool. And then one of them moved to America, didn't they? And went on the sort of chat show scene a little bit. Yes. Or rather than that. Not chat show so much as like going to theaters and talking about my terrible cousin there. Yeah. Yeah. And so you got the terrible in at the start. You can make clearly a side here, right? But yeah, so... There's one of those modes, but... Yeah, and also apparently it was also hoped that his smoother skin and large breasts would make him a laughing stock among the military men and world leaders. You don't know they're going to be large before you feed of the characters. I'm sorry, I think this is all a bit of a fever dream from whoever's planning this. Maybe it's perhaps how many carrots he goes to one. The boobs size depends on how much Easter do you have. It does suppose it does, does it? I don't know, actually. Maybe. We're not... Don't know how not the experts. We're not expecting you to be either. I know, I'm not just because I have them. I've never really looked into how Easter didn't care at consumption corresponds. But Kate aims to specify that she found this at the World Carrot Museum of this fact. So I guess that's why they had to throw in the carrot fast. The physical carrot museum on the online one. Oh, I think the online one.

Yes. Oh, there is a great carrot. That's... Yeah, that website, I think, is gone into kind of QIFO. Plorators like one of the greatest ever websites devoted to one subject. Okay. It's just one person who collects a lot of amazing carrot masks. So good. I just always love these plants. I think there should be a competition between plants to kill castra and plants to kill Hitler, which were madness. And there is so many which involve having to surreptitiously feed them stuff that they've never eat or slip into their nightgowns, things that they... You know, how... What were the logistics of this? How likely was it? And if it was likely, has it happened to lots of other people we don't know about? Like, was Ming Campbell originally really a vicious person? And... Do you know what I mean? If they had these plants a lot, what did you... Do you think how much effort time money is going to go into making Ming Kable? Particularly relaxed guy. Do you know the other thing for international listeners on Ming Campbell? Former leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, not especially while I'm having a hearing directly. I think we should do something for domestic listeners on Ming Campbell.

Why don't you think they're a lot of hurt of him? Well, our key when New Zealand listeners... Well, our key when New Zealand listeners... He just dropped me as quite a gentle person. So I thought maybe he didn't use to be until he was fed the carrots himself. If you can get close enough to give Hitler some carrots. Which guy's true, Jin-in? It feels like you're close enough to do something more... Put a bomb in the carrots. And the bomb is attached to the case by a clamp that has been created by Miranda Hard. Now, look, Tony Hancock is carrying an incredibly explosive pie. This won't be a idea of the war department. Then outside you've just got a cue of war. I mean, it's an idea for the things that have happened. Like, Diane Morgan, ready for duty. It's a very funny idea, huh? They have to make that show. But not today. We've received the end of a fact time. Well, the good news is we're going to come on to fact allocations.

So if you join Clubfish at the top tier, friend of the podcast, then you will get one of our headline facts dedicated to you. If you want to check out Clubfish just to say, go to patreon.com slash Clubfish. There are three different tiers. There are all sorts of good things there. There are bonus episodes. There are extra long episodes that James edits. There is all manner of stuff. And as I say, if you become a friend of the podcast, you will get a classy certificate sent to you with one of our facts that will become yours in perpetuity. So let's dish out a few more of those now. Okay. Here is a fact that is now under the custodian ship of Alexander. Alexander, your fact is that the world puddle jumping championships, bands, fizzy drinks in case they improve participants performance. Who's that? And that's because his kids his kids as do it. Oh, of course. And it's whoever does the best sort of jump. It's not necessarily most puddles. It's just whoever does.

It's more like figure skating. It's all about your style. Oh, is it arm because I would have seen it with length. Oh, it. But okay, that makes more sense of style. That's more interesting to watch. Yeah, I'm not sure if it still exists that competition must have met. Do we know how rigorous the drug testing is on the fizzy drink? How do you test for a fizzy drink? I bet there's no blood test that can do that. Surely it affects your blood sugar a bit. But couldn't you just had a flat drink that was very sugary? That's absolutely true. That's the loophole. Everyone's just fruit shooting up. That's great. That was really good. Okay, here's another fact for Nicholas Romaro. And this is that the shufflecocks used in professional badminton are made with real goose feathers and they're always taken from the left wing. Because Bammettin is traditionally very socialist. Short. Brilliant. Very good. That was from a guest.

Like they sense. Oh, yeah. And it's because they spin different ways, depending on what's like the bird they're on, because they're intended to be used by the bird. Yeah. And so they're a particular shape for a spin. And you've got to have your shufflecocks all spinning clockwise. I think left wing spins clockwise. I wonder if you had an abory on a submarine, whether you might be able to farm those birds for your shufflecocks for a bit of R&R for your sailors? We don't know. That's not why they had it. I don't know how big these submarines were. It sounds like they were very big. It does feel like a goose farm and a badminton court are going to, they're going to stress the central committee for approval of fans. There's no fight having won another round. I like that, Dura. Because submarines are such a boring shape, aren't they? Two. You know, they're basically big fish shapes are effectively out there. For the grease and officer. For a good, okay, but no. No. What are you doing, horse?

You want something that's going to go nicely to the water. And I think a fish is a good example of a fish. Okay. Yes, but what else goes through that? And I see through the water a manta ray. Right? Imagine a manta ray shaped submarine. It's basically one thought. It's basically a massive bungalow. Then you've got space for your badminton court and everything. Because it's so spread out. Lovely. Lovely. Yeah. Something to think about. We'll get onto the M.O.D. Right, let's have another one. This one goes out to Danny Thomas. Danny, your fact. Now and forever is that the ancient Egyptians had pornographic papyruses. Papyrus? Papyrus for sure. But this is about the Turin erotic papyrus. Oh, yeah. And it's got various rude images on it, all in higher obliquics, obviously. Squiggle, squiggle, squiggle. Third. I have horus. I have. Yeah. And it's not quite sure what it was for, I think, but it was. Oh, we though. Well, it was maybe for, it was maybe for, you know, ancient Egyptian teenagers.

Or maybe it was a manual of some kind. Or maybe it was just, you know, a prank. I just love. Lovely idea that in 4,000 years someone's going to find an old playboy and go. We're not quite sure what they use this for. It could have been that they plastered the pictures up to show people where brothels are. They always say it is. Oh, there's loads of, like, rude graffiti on this wall. Oh, that must have been to point out where the brothels are. Fine place. I'll be 15 year old boys going. Yeah. Okay, sure it was. Oh, they're there to kind of roll back immediately on that. And the idea is like sailors come into a port and they don't necessarily speak the language. So they need to have photos. Photos? Drawings. Rude, etchings. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Here is one that is now under the custodian ship of Sam and Sam. Your fact is that the world's only Cornish Pasley Museum is in Mexico. Mexico.

Mexico. Yeah, love this. Although I think it might not be true anymore. But actually I have a feeling that they've got a Cornish Pasley Museum in Cornwall since then. I remember there was, in fact, maybe even when we did this fight, they were talking about building it weren't they? But what happened was a lot of Cornish miners went over to Mexico because they had expertise in tin mining. And in Mexico, they were going to mine stuff. And so they brought the Cornish Pasley with them, I believe. Yeah. That's very, well, I think I'm just looking for an update now. Oh, use coming in. Newsflash. This is an hostile chamber.co.uk. Plans are developing to establish the UK's first over Cornish Pasley Museum. Still developing. I just hoped it will be ready for visitors in time for the 2016 season. So I... Sorry, the article didn't have a date on it. I don't think it didn't get built. I don't think you got built.

So what, for international listeners, British sort of big construction projects like this often do run over a bit, don't they? Oh, yeah, I've just looked it up now. Yeah, it's now costing £10k. I mean, only goes as far as dead. Very good. Okay, so here's another fact. This is for Naomi Robinson Dunbar. Naomi, enjoy this one. What is that? 20% of people wake up wearing fewer clothes than they went to bed with. It me. Oh, yeah, you're feeling seen. It me, I'm feeling so seen. It's me. This is classic me. Yeah, it's just the thing people say. It me, you know. That's me. It's just an old... Who can't sit and steals them in the night? No, it's normally the night cap comes as a skew. And I get discarded. Do you think it's easy to subconsciously take off clothes and put on clothes? It is. Yeah. Definitely, okay. Of course it is. Sorry, officer, I don't know how I have right here in an extra jump. You never get anyone saying that. Are you right?

But you often get people say sorry officer, I don't know what, it's my trousers. Yeah. Okay. Oh, that's great. All right. Here's another one. Oh, I love this one. This one goes out to Lauren Castling. Lauren, your fact is, there are people who mine for jeans. Denon jeans. This is in... It's in America isn't it? There are all these old leaf eyes buried in mines and things. Because people got too hot when they were living in mining. They took off their jeans. Without even realizing it. People did used to get naked when they were mining, didn't they? Yeah, that's a pretty colour thing. Yeah. Because they said what? Yeah. People would go down into mines and they're obviously valuable now, because they're so old and they're full of proper rivets. And they're actually quite high quality clothes. So people sell them as cool agent artifacts. So what are we going to be mining for? That those people left behind when mining for jeans? Oh, I see. Like their jeans tweezers that they just pick up the jeans.

What do they do in tweezers? Yeah. Yeah. That reminds me, I must just pluck a single hair from my eyebrow. Stop the broadcast. This fact is now a custodial ship of Nicola and Nicola. Oh, Dan Schreiber should be here to justify himself, because this is one of his fights. And the fact was Jesus had a mono brow. Can I remember what his evidence for this was given that I've only seen such a such evidence that Jesus was even a historic pop. Okay. But all of them say, but if he did exist. Dan said there was someone who runs a blog of descriptions of Jesus by Tom Chivers and at least three of these say that he had eyebrows meeting. Well, go. Although another study had hairs as white as snow. Okay. And we might have... Yeah. And everywhere the pilot went, that Christ was sure to go. So Mary had a little lamb drink there. Well, that's one for the kids. One for the kids. See?

That is a conscious pilot. But then Mary was a natural character in the pilot. Yeah, that would have been a lot better. A lot better. In fact, I almost think what I've done is amazing there. Yeah. I'm like, I need... I need to adjust Mary had a little lamb to put it in the carriage for the pilot. Oh, dear. I just think your brain works in extreme ways. In very mysterious ways, I'd say. Right. Well, let's have another fact. This is one for Henry Smith. Henry Smith, take this to your grave. Oh, and it's... sorry, that's a bit dark. Just take this with you every day. Ernest Shackleton's dogs, names included slippery swabbers, Satan, painful, swanker, bummer, and bob. Bob? Bobby, poor old Bob, run out of inspiration at the end of the door. Shackleton? Which of those would you feel at least confident shouting in the park if you'd lost them? Oh, they've all got some problems. I mean, bummer and Satan feel like the two least acceptable swankers.

Swanker, yeah, true. Swanker depends on what you... if you said something before, like, you know, if you said something that could be pluralised, like, ham's, wanker. Ham's wanker, like a... To pick a vowel, to pick something normal that you'd say in the park, ham's wanker. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, good point. I'm picking the other typical character. Well, he insults your own noun. Um, so, yeah, there you go. Good old Shackleton. I just... I just... you love to hide your pants in your self-into-cord and... I know. As you were saying it, I was like, I can't think of anything certain. I felt it coming. I felt it coming towards me. It was like that, seen in Austin Powers with a very, very slow speed roller coming towards him. I'm going to finish this sentence. Oh, dear. Well, that is eight new fact custodians dished out, so congratulations to Henry Nicola, Lauren, Naomi, Sam, Danny Nicolus and Alexanderana.
