Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming

to you from the QI offices in Covern garden.

My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, James Harkin and

Anna Chazinski and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go.

Starting with you Chazinski.

My fact this week is that in Amsterdam the roads are paved with used toilet paper.

Let's catch his gold.

Yeah Dick Wittington is very different there and this is a really cool thing actually.

So the road constructor in the Netherlands called KWS has realised that to make a kind of

improved version of tarmac it can use the cellulose that it gets from recycled toilet paper

so the toilet paper goes into the sewage system, you flush it into the sewage system and

then they basically put it through kind of a sieve which gets the poo out.

Oh that's important.

That's a really important stage of this whole process.

It is, you don't want to be driving on poo.

No.

But all walking.

Crawling on it after a night out in Amsterdam.

No.

None of those things.
