Yebbut, if you invited youngsters from a school to act as ballboys and
girls in your type of game then you'd end up in clink.

Unless you moved to Vatican city

another golden nugget the other night from QI - the age of consent there
is 12. And there was me thinking they were just a band of paedos

Bingo!

"Our research has found that the main audience for QI is among
viewers who don't normally read books or newspapers but rely for
their knowledge of the world in general from snippets fed to them by
way of answers in television quiz programmes. Sometimes of course we make
mistakes - there was an example in 2010 for instance where Stephen
claimed that the age of consent in the Vatican was 12 years of age.
When this has been long recognised as an urban myth of uncertain
origin.
What was unusual about that example was that it was picked up on.
With the type of viewer QI attracts what usually happens us that
when Stephen Fry pronounces on some topic his audience are more
likely to accept it without question."

QI is always to be taken with a pinch of salt (unless it suits one's own
purpose). Not sure what reading books or newspapers has to do with it

For example, and correct me if I'm wrong, it was also mentioned that a
parrot fish ****s a tonne of white sand. Thats 3kg / day in round
numbers ... I don't think so

Providing they only live for a year, I think they live a bit longer than
that, although I'm not a marine biologist ;-)

A brief google says they live 10 years, so 100kg a year is probably
****table in a year, or 274g per day, depending on how they feel

ive never seen em but they were nibbling or ****ting coral.

So Id say that's not unreasonable

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

Sorry - a tonne of white sand / year

And yes, 10 years sounds about right

No. They are not THAT big, are parrot fish.

There's a constant stream of - **** - dribbling out the rear ends, but
not 3kg/day..

mind you that's only .03g a second.

An ounce a minute? Hmm It MIGHT just be possible

I have a couple of parrot fish

QI said, IIRC a tonne/ year

That's why I said factoids from QI were south side of reliable

I'm still wondering how the droid from the bbc would think that it's the
sort of information I might glean from a newspaper

droid from the BBC - I usually watch QI because it's better than the
****e on other channels at the time. which is not to say that the BBC
are, on the whole that much better

QI is great entertainment but it's probably not a great educational
tool. It does however make me go and look up some of the things they
talk about, either to check their veracity or because it's sparked my
interest.
