0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish.
0:05.6	Andrew Hunter Murray is away on holiday looking for rare species of moss or perhaps covering
0:12.6	his entire house in solar panels. I'm not sure what he's doing, but he's not here. And so in his
0:18.3	place, we have the founder of QI, John Lloyd. Now, you'll all know John
0:24.2	because he's been on this show many, many times. But if you're a new listener, then he is,

1:24.4	You know what the podcast? Hello and welcome to a Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hobern.
1:46.4	My name is Dan Shriver. I am sitting here with James Harkin, Anna Tashinsky, and John Lloyd. And once again, we have gathered around the
1:51.8	microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days. And in no particular order,
