Hello, and welcome to another episode of Little F ish. This is the bonus Monday episode where we put down our favorite facts from the last seven days and we go through your favorite facts. So we have gone through the inbox, Andy has picked out some of the best, and I am now gonna sit here with Anna Toshinsky and James Harkin and go through them. So who wants to start? Go on Anna. Well thank you. I'm gonna start with this one from John Cornell. Sorry I said that with an American accent. I'f hes American, that's just because of the university from John Cornell. Is that the Yes? Yeah, of course that was better. He might be a cock the Barrow boy. We don't know. Exactly. Equally likely. And he said I love this fact actually. Um just came across this fact about the Huli people of the Hela province in Papua New Guinea. And it is that the young boys of the Huly tribe aren't considered real men until they've attended Whig school. And this is and he says, and made either an ordinary or a ceremonial wig. Um, and then he specifies I'm not a real man, sadly. And that's okay, no judgment about not making a wig. Are you guys real men? Uh I've never made a wig . Well there you go. I don't think I've made a wig. No. You would remember, I think. I don't know. My my parents are hairdressers. I feel like I help them in a lot of stuff. I can imagine baby Dan sort of crawling around picking up all the discarded bits of hair from all the customers and weaving them into a little coupe in the corner. Presenting them to the customers where my parents are looking away and they never come back. And yeah, it's it's I'm sure that was a childhood thing. So I'm sure it was too. Funny old childhood you have. On the actually in the source what I that I read, I think you guys might be men, because it actually said that the oldest known tradition is where the boys learn the fundamentals of the Huly tradition, which is how to grow the hair to make into wigs. And actually I think it's more about how to grow your hair in a wig like manner. I see. That's interesting because what would turn your hair into a wig like shape is constant haircuts so that it grew as part of a shape. You can't you can't make one bit grow longer than the other just by thinking it. Well, you can, I think, according to maybe the Hoolie people. That's the thing, Dan. You're making a judgment based on your own beliefs. And I think these people would say they believe that if you do think it and if you have the Whig master who runs the school really think it, he's got the power to make your hair grow. I would argue actually that Dan was making a judgment based on physiology of human beings rather than his own beliefs. Well that's just your opinion, James, the physiology of human beings is an existing factual thing . Anyway have you actually been away at debate club for the last nine months I've been at Whig School and I hoped you'd notice I've been thinking my hair into being longer. There is um a group of people in Peru. I think it's the guys on the um on the lake, on the Titicaca, but it might not be those guys. But anyway, to become a man you need to knit a bobble hat that is solid enough that you can carry water in it. And once you've done that you go through 'cause these are all rites of passage, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Why do bobble hats have to be so solid around Lake Titicaca? Well they're I don't know why they're heads a lot. Yeah. I don't know really. I've worn one of those bubble hats, the Lake Titakaka ones when I went to Lake Titakaka. Yeah. It's nice to say Titakaka. I know. It's the only reason you raise this fact, I think, is so you get to say it . Um but yeah, I bought got one of these hats and they're like just woolen hats with bubbles on the sides. Uh but yeah, that's just part of the culture that you just have to learn how to do this and until you do it you can't grow up and that there's quite a lot of places that do things like that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I that's funny because bubbles, I think when you say bubble hat, where would you say the bubble hat ? On the top, of course. On the top. Yeah, yeah. No, I agree with that. Yeah, but they believe it's on the side. Don't that's what they belie fs. Very insulting. Um okay, here is a fact from Charles Ekman . Uh sorry, Charles Ekman . Uh and it's a bit of a complicated one. So we'll see if I can explain it. Well, I might not be able to, but Charles says there is no such thing as a random number generator because there is no such thing as a random number. I see. Okay. Okay. So basically you say that randomness is not a property that a number can have. If you roll a dice and you get a number four, you have managed to generate that in a random manner, but the number itself is not random, the number is just the number four. Yeah. Okay, so what he's saying then is that you can have a random number generator, but not a random number generator. Hold on, what would a random generator be though? Surely anything. The generator is the dice which generates a random number. So you can have a random number generator. So the number generator is the dice, which gives you the random randomness. But you can't have a random number generator because randomness is not an adjective that you could put next to number in mathematics. No, no, absolutely. I can see how you can have a random generator as well and actually you can only use it as an adverb. Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to use random as an adjective at all. You just generate numbers randomly. Well if you're a magician you say pick a random card, that is a generator, the card system of which you're picking, right? It's a random generator. Yeah. Something that's doing it randomly. But the numbers will never be the random thing. I'm just trying to work out when you would ever use this email in real-life context. And it does feel like it's been used by this person. I don't think so, really. I think it's just a bit of pedantic mathemat ical stuff. Yeah. I d I think if the bar is when you're gonna use stuff in a real life context, I think our podcast is completely dead. So it's not that avenue. The word random used to mean to run somewhere very fast and very ferociously. And then it made they had lots of different meanings. But in um the 16th century, if you're on a ship and you were firing like a cannonball, uh a random firing would be the way that you would fire it to go the furthest. So that would be 45 degrees basically. So if it said ever said fire in a random direction and you're on a sixteenth century vessel . You mustn't fire it in any direction. You must have fired at exactly forty five degrees. This is when time travellers get in such trouble, don't they? They take very bad naval officers. All right, let's get on to another one. Uh this one comes from Mike Gray from Radium Hot Springs in British Columbia, Canada. Accent does not work. Uh anyway, Mike Gray says I am the mayor of Radium Hot Springs in British Columbia. Yeah, and I thought our town might have a little fact for little fish. The village is named after the nearby hot springs, which were renamed in nineteen fifte afenter scientists discovered trace amounts of radon, a radioactive gas in the water. The levels are completely safe, but it does mean our town is now named after what is technically a mildly radioactive spa. Yeah, I don't know why they chuck the radium in because Hot Springs is a town that I'd go to. Radium Hot Springs. I'm not taking my clothes off. This is very cool because we've had Lords write in. Um I don't think we've ever had any mayors from Canada write in before. This might be our first one. I think it's our first. I think that's really cool. And I think also it's really cool. If it's cool enough to be the mayor of somewhere, but to be the mayor of somewhere that has such a cool name. Yeah. I think Well done. That's a hell of a badge. It is really cool. And I I went to their Wikipedia page and they have 1 3 39 residents there as of the 2021 census. We wrote a book called 1339 Facts. Exactly. So if you lived, if you're listening and you're from Radium Hot Springs, you could assign a fact from that book to every single one of the members of your That's very cool. Wouldn't be cool. And every time a baby's born you have to kill an old person. Yes, exact has to be a swap. Yeah, exactly. Pass the facts on. I have a this is so Andy sends round the facts that he's curated from the inbox, isn't he? He sends them to us and he sent this one. This is from Gary Randall. So he thinks that this is specifically good for you just before you you read it out? Not necessarily for me. You'll see why I've dragged Andy into this though. So this fact is that Avril is a French name that means April, as we know. And Levine is a French surname, which actually means the fool, because it comes from a name that means someone living near a playhouse or an occupational name for a jester. So that's Levine. So Avril Levine is actually April Fool . Oh that's very good. But wait, Andy. I looked into it. Oh it's not true. He's he's having you on Andy. He's having it's an A 'cause it's an April Fool in a fact about April Fool. What? And Andy has yeah, Levine doesn't mean the fool. Levine just means the veen. Well yeah, but I mean it could have been an a ye oldy thing., but it's not Someone's made up a clever trick. So I was it who sent that in? Someone called Gary Randall, who I believe is either Gary Randall's been tricks or Andrew Hunter Murray's been tricks, but let the record show that I haven't been tricks. Good good to have you back. I wonder when it was sent. If it was sent at the beginning of April, as in I wonder what day it hit the inbox. I had a look in the inbox and it's not there. So I think Andy might have a secret channel because it's isn't in our main inbox. Do you think Andy's done this to trick us? He could be the tricker. Oh my god, Andy is Gary Randall. Is it an anagram? Wow, Andy. Yeah, it's got Rand. It's got Andy in it. It does. Andy girl Girl Andy Girl It's Andy Girl Yeah Because we know he loves Avril Levine Like Do we Yeah He was a boy She was a Andy Girl Can I make it any more obvious? Jesus. Okay. That is very interesting actually. Great stuff. Um do you remember Andy fell for a April Fool's trick on this very show? Not on this show, on our main show. Oh yeah. Which was the elephants inventing the road system in the south of England. Yeah. That was good, wasn't it? What what was the claim that they trampled the grass down or something into that? All of the roads in the south of England are based on old animal tracks made by elephants. Oh, can we lay into Andy some more? If he was planning to fool us, this is very much backfired, hasn't it ? Okay, well that was a bad prediction by him if um he did that. And here is another fact about a bad prediction uh from Matt Birch. And he has found the worst prediction ever made by scientists, and that is that the calculation for the energy density of a vacuum, uh, because their prediction exceeded the observed value by about one hundred and twenty orders of magnitude. An order of magnitude would be 10 times more two, orders of magnitude, a hundred times more. This was a hundred and twenty orders of magnitude, they got it wrong. Uh, and the difference is so big according to Matt that if you um said the universe contains one atom, you would be about forty orders of magnitude out with that because there's one to the power of forty. And this was a hundred and twenty, did you say? Yeah, yeah. So that's three times worse than you saying there's only one atom in the universe. I've got another mistake here. This is from 1992 from the president of Sri Lanka who was called Rana Singha Pramadas a. Uh and he spoke to soothsayers who said that by changing the country's name to Sri Lanka instead of Sri Lanka, he would improve the country's fortune. So he did that and he was assassinated the following year and the former spelling was restored. But did the country's fortune improve? I mean that's his fort it didn't about improving his fortune. That's true. That's the thing with these soothsayers. Yeah. They always tell you the truth, but you think that they're not telling you the truth. Yeah. You've got to read the small print. Always for the Sith say. Well, while we're on uh names of places, uh here's an email that we got from David Croy, who says Today I learnt that North, South Carolina, is in the center of the state. Why? Because it's named after John North. Put it in the book. It says the bit where it says put it in the book was that Andy adding a little comment. It's different font, yeah. So um that's weird. Uh yeah, this was named after a guy called John North, um who in eighteen ninety one was part of the southbound railroad that came through the area. He was an assistant on that. Uh, and then um he donated a hundred acres to the area, and then it got named after him, and he also became the very first elected mayor of North South Carolina. Very cool. A very mayor centric episode we've got today. And actually I've got a related fact that I got sent from Lucy Frey. Oh yeah. And this is that in my town she, says, in my town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, there's a pond downtown named Ashley Pond and it is named after Ashley Pond. As in the surname is Pond. Yeah, her surname is Pond, yeah. But the Pond is called Pond. What is Andy doing? Why is he he's not even here. He's not here. Why what are what are we doing? Why did I read my one out that led into yours? Samuel Donaldson of Christchurch, New Zealand writes one of the few tall buildings still in Christchurch after the earthquake is the Height Building . Named after James Height . Officially the Powaka James Height building. Uh Powaka be Maori for the Rigel Star Cluster. Really good. Okay. What is he doing? This guy is is taking us on a ride. This is this is bullshit. Check this one out. This is from Jem Condliff . This is etymology rather than a fact, but I think it's also a brand new fact, says Jem. Oh, that's nice. We always like those. Yeah. You know when you have an amorous moment? People might say Andy got off with Dan's sister. What ? That's what it says. This is Andy's weird way of telling you this under the pseudonym. So go on, what what 's the rest of the fact? Why is he saying that? Why is Andy seeing an email like that and sending that to me? Okay, he says, uh why do we say get off with? I believe I can explain. So Jem says I work for a local newspaper and in our archives from a hundred years ago we had paternity cases where a man would have to pay for his illegitimate child's upkeep. The court would possibly hear that nine months before the baby's arrival the couple went to a dance in a nearby town riding on a cart chartered for this purpose. On the way home, beer and lust would take over and said couple would prevail upon the carto to let them off at a secluded spot. So the idea to get off with is get off the cart. Yeah. And that literally is definitely true. That's the connection that Jem is making. I agree. It's not very strong, and I think Andy only included it so that he could put the image of him making out with my sister into my mind. You've been seen, mate Indeed, presents.

But your delicate fragrance, hints of lemon thyme. When the tea's this good. Do you even need the G ? Fever tree. Straight up or mixed. It's a matter of taste . We got time for one more, Anna. Uh one from Martha King. She says this is the funniest fact she's found out recently. Get ready. Hold on to your britches. In the first two original Thomas the Tank Engine books, the Fat Controller was called the Fat Director. It's not the end of the fact. The reason was that after the first two episodes or the first two editions, um the railways were nationalised and the bureaucracy was rejigged and um director became controller. So that's why his name was changed from director controller. Mr. Topham hat now, because you're not allowed to say fat controller anymore. Yeah. I will say that I um I preemptively look this up because I read a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine, which by the way is so full of weird old railway jargon that it's very hard to read to a young toddler. But I knew my mum was gonna come along and say, isn't it ridiculous you're not allowed to call him that anymore? So I googled it to check and it's not true. What? Um Yeah, yeah, you're totally allowed to call him He just happens to have been uh called Mr Topham Hat in some American editions, I think, but like modern editions happily called him the fat controller Well they're incorrect, I'm afraid. Ah , who knew that SNL was not a rigorously researched academic fact based show? Do you guys remember that we happen to know one of the Certopum hats out there, one of the fat controllers? Oh, something's ringing a bell, but I can't remember what it is. So you know when if a kid writes in to somewhere that has a fictional character , sometimes someone is assigned to be the official person and they'll write back or they'll do certain things for them. Yeah, we know a former one which was Craig Glende , the current editor-in-chief of the Guinness World Records. Yeah. Wait, so what did he do? He wrote in as a kid to Thomas the Tank Engine and said, Can I be the controller? No, no. I misunderstood this. Quite the opposite, in fact. Think about the exact opposite of what you've just said. And that's true. Thomas the Tank Engine wrote to Craig Glenda saying Can I be the Guinness World Records book? Sorry. Look, feel free to explain off air. I'm sure the listeners got it. Kids would write to the fat controller and Craig would reply. I see the fat control . That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Makes more sense that way, doesn't it? It does make more sense. Yeah. Okay, well that's it for your facts for today. But before we wrap up the show, we have to dish out some headline facts to our latest custodians. So if you join Clubfish, our secret members club, and you join the highest tier friend of the podcast, you will become the custodian of one of the headline facts from our 12 years of doing fish. And so here are eight more custodians to hand out now. James, do you want to start? Yes, this one is now under the custodianship of Krista Hill. And Krista, your fact is that Finland's parliament sometimes makes decisions in the sauna. Sauna. Sauna. Um yeah. That's I mean playing up to national stereotypes. Yeah. As usual. How big's the sauna? Like how many how big is their parliament? Isn't it hundreds? Oh, hundred as in like six hundred and fifty like we have in our very bloated uh government. We'd need a massive sauna in the UK, wouldn't we? I bet they're very slim down the Finnish people. I bet they've only got sort of four people in their parliament. Right. I don't know how many they have, but what would be Brit theish equivalent? Like do it making all your decisions in weather spoons maybe. Yeah, yeah. They might be better ones. Yeah. Worth a try, kid. In a calf. Yeah. With a full English. In a calf. Yeah. Um very cool. And saunas are they're I mean when we did this fact I think we found out that during war times, you know, generals would bring their own portable sauna as well. A lot like it's just it's it's huge in the culture. It is, it's absolutely massive. You can't go anywhere in Finland without seeing a sauna. Yeah. That's for sure. You've been, haven't you, James? To Finland, yeah, for sure. Did you have a sauna? Um did I have a sauna when I was in Finland? I feel like I must have done I reckon when we did this fact, however many years ago it was, I'd never had a sauna in my life. But certainly now I have had saunas. Yeah. You've changed man. I know, I know. Just slightly warmer than I was all those years ago. Okay, let's do another one. Okay, well this is for Mike Smith. Here you are, Mike Smith. You have to guard this fact with your life. In British electoral history, eight candidates have won no votes at all in a general election. There you go. Eight candidates, Mike Smith. I want you to guard that, memorize their nam . Wasn't one of them someone who in fact maybe more than one of them were people who lived in that constituency and didn't even vote for themselves. Oh , yes, you're right. That's politeness, isn't it? It's like you know 'cause on the off chance someone recognises your handwriting or how you do it cross and they're like, Oh my god, they voted for themselves, how embarrassing. I think like if I was playing like games at Christmas time or something and you had to vote for someone , I would naturally not vote for myself. Like in some kind of voting game. You wouldn't vote for yourself. You'd always vote for someone else because it's a bit feels a bit icky to vote for yourself. What kind of games are you playing at Christmas time? Weird democracy game We we play like a parliamentary game where we each take one of the members of World War Two and then we make our arguments about why or why not the war should occur. Right. You don't do that. Consequently James is Prime Minister in the Harkin Household are you kidding me? You've met all of my family. How far up the pecking order do you think I am in that family? Okay, let's get another one here. This fact is going out to Girgo de Brex eni. Okay. And the fact is the final McDonald's burger ever sold in Iceland can be watched decomposing on a webcam. Very cool. Now I have seen that, I must say. Yeah. Um I was And it's Iceland the country. Iceland the country, yeah. Um yeah, it was I don't know if it's still there actually, but it was in a hotel. It was like even if you weren't staying in the hotel, you could just go 'cause it I think it was in the lobby and you could just sort of see this Big Mac. Wow who's under like a a glass thing. Yeah. They should just leave it in one of the bedrooms and then everyone who gets that room goes in and goes, um, sorry, the cleaner hasn't been in. There seems to be a perfectly good Big Mac here. I mean, half of a perfectly good Big Mac . Yeah, I mean how desperate would you have to be after a night out to look at that and go, it's probably still okay. I'd have to have had at least two drinks. It would be you though, of us for smashed into. Do you remember when we did our live tour? I had as a hall of famer come onto the stage the man who decided to live stream a random puddle Mr. Puddle. And I remember on the day watching it myself, you know, we were just watching a random person not realize how big the puddle was and either get into it or it's just wild. Yeah. The wild of live streaming. That was the level of celebrity we had on our live show, so bound up if you missed it. Okay, um this next fact is under the custodianship of Callan C-A-L-I-N. Callan, your fact is that in 1851 Prince Albert commissioned a ballroom for Balmoral Castle made entirely of corrugated iron . And I remember this episode so well because John Lloyd was on the show. Yeah. And he got so into corrugated iron. He hasn't stopped talking about it since. Oh, yeah. It was intense. Oh my god. It was like he just like managed to get almost everything in the universe and then pulled it round to Corrugated Iron. He's like, Did you know the shape of the universe must be a bit like corrugated iron because of the stiffness of it and it's like, oh my God. I feel like I remember the thunk of his research notes hitting the table. It was such a thick Wad was that John's first ever show? I think it was actually . You're right before that. You're right. Yes . Yeah, I can't remember exactly what it's called. But it was like Miraculous Theor em or something that if you get something flat like a piece of paper, if you hold it at the end it kind of flops down, but if you bend it into a U shape, it stays stiff and it it's basically why if you fold pizza it won't flop over before it goes in your mouth. And I literally tell my daughter that fact every single Sunday when we buy her a pizza at the farmers market and I say, Did you know that if you fold it here, it'll make it stiffer and again you've changed, man, buying pizza at the farmer's market. Strong with pizza. I have changed in that sense, but I haven't changed in the sense I'm extremely tedious about my facts to people . Uh Anna? Yep, this one's for Brian Hess. No relation to other Hesses you might know. As far as we know. As far as we know. And here's a fact for you, Brian, during the 19th century, Sadler's Wells Theatre in London was routinely flooded to stage fake naval battles. So goes Yeah, these were incredible. Theatre used to be more fun. You went and you were told you had to wear your swimming stuff when you bought the ticket and you came. It could be immersive. It could be. I know it could be literally immersive. They also had horses as well on the stage, didn't they? That's another thing I remember you. Running on treadmills. Yes.. Yeah Out towards you, which is what a what an illusion of scariness that you would have. It's like a three D movie. I would argue it's not really an illusion of scariness. It's just scary. Yeah it is scary. Uh here's another one now for Adrian Carter. Adrian Carter, your fact is that the practice of dog owners pretending they haven't seen their dog having a poo is technically known as strategic non knowledge . That's fantastic. That's Andy's. I'd like the technically. Well I'd I'd forgotten that fact, but in what official dictionary? Which experts? There must be a paper about it, right? It must be. It must be. Andy's not made that up. No. Andy . And he wouldn't do something like that. Oh, I don't know. Technically is doing a lot of work there, I think, in an Andy Fact. Yeah. That's true. There's technically a giant kettle called Jenny. It's just a big building that heats water. That's not a kettle, mate. Yeah. He plays it fast and loose. Uh hey, you know when I wasn't on the show last week. Yeah. Were you slugging me off in the same way that you're slugging Andy off here. So what's going on here? No, but you weren't trying to get off with my sister in emails . Uh okay, is it my turn? Yes . Then this fact now goes out to Amanda. And Amanda, your fact is that instead of being one of the founders of the USA, Benjamin Franklin almost stayed in Britain to found a swimming school on the Thames. Oh yeah. Yeah, this is a cracker. Spent some time wandering London , got really into swimming. He did. It was I think I remember the location where it was. Not from the time from reading about it. Yeah. Was it near his house? Because his house was quite near the old QI office, wasn't it? It was near embankment, so yeah. That's cool. You wouldn't want to swim in the Thames there now because it's too fast flowing. Um whereas like it's probably cleaner than it was then, I reckon, because the Thames has improved quite a lot in cleanliness over the years. Right. Uh but they put in extra bridges which makes the water flow quicker. Uh-huh. Because there's like the arches that the water has to kind of squeeze through. So now it's like doing wild water rapids. Well, compared to the in those days, yeah. Like if Benjamin Franklin jumped in the Thames now, you'd have to fish him out in Fulham or something. Is that the way it goes? Yep, you've done that right. God, is it's actually I've I'm actually spending so long working this out. But remember when you and I um rode on the Thames, Anna, and they were teaching us how to do it, and you would have to go, you'd be at next to this factory or something, and you'd have to like row for half a mile or something, whatever it was. And you rode to the other end and then they're explaining to you like, okay, this is what you did, this is what you have to improve, okay. And then when you turn round, you're exactly back where you started. So what is it just taking you all the way back there and you're like the amount of effort I put in to get to that point and now I'm back where I started is And that's that's why in the Olympics they never stop to have chats, do they? They never go let's have a team talk, team talk, heads together. Although, do you remember there was one rower in the early days, I'm not sure if it was Olympics, but there was a race where he was winning by so much, there was some ducks went past and he could stop and let the ducks cross the river and then carried on going and still wandered. Yeah that's right. I having mentioned John Lloyd earlier, I once was having a coffee with John and we were sitting and the view was the Thames and we're mid-chat and he suddenly just went, Oh look, it's Bill Bailey. And I looked out and on a paddle board standing in the Thames was Bill just waving at us, going, Hi John! Hi Dan! That's odd . But feels in keeping with who he is . That's amazing. He must have been there every day for like six years hoping that John Light would turn up. Um let's have one. I think Fulham is the wrong way, isn't it? Is it? Because Fulham Fulham we'd be gonna have to be going westward westward . Be right in. Don't please arrive. Alright, let's have one more. This is a fact for Ed ilith. Edelith , your fact is sumo wrestling referees carry a knife so that if they make a bad decision during a match, they can kill themselves. Remember that? I think uh that was I that was one of my facts and I I think they don't do it anymore. Yeah, right. I think I d and I don't think there have been any modern fatalities anyway. It's probably more ceremonial as a concept, right? Um yeah. Um sumo wrestlers and Benjamin Franklin, I feel like those were two quite heavy friends of the podcast that we've not
