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

to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.

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

James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in a particular order here we go.

Starting with you, James.

Okay my fat this week is there is only one mosquito in Iceland.

Poor lonely mosquito.

How did it get there?

Well we think it maybe came over from Greenland on a plane because it was found in the 80s

by a guy called Professor Gisley Mar Gislusson from the University of Iceland and I wrote

to Professor Gislusson and he wrote back and he said he'd body the flight to Keflavik

Airport in 1986 and June and the plane had come over from Greenland and it was making

a stop in Iceland and it was going to Germany and he was walking down the passenger cabin

and he saw this mosquito and he thought what's that doing here and he's like I need to catch

that mosquito and so he legged it along the aisle chasing this mosquito and he managed

to grab it and then he was going to work at Karlsruher at the University for three months

but he had this mosquito and he knew it had to go to Iceland so he kept it for three

months.

Had he killed it by this point?

It was dead.

I think it probably died when he grabbed it so he then kept it in his room in this university
