Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Things A Fish, a weekly podcast this week

coming to you from Edinburgh!

My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Aniches Innski, 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 no particular order here we go.

Starting with fact number one and that's my fact this week, my fact is unmarried people

are more likely to fall down stairs than married people.

And previously married people fall down more than both of them.

It does, it's not just because they're like, it's my phone, my phone's ringing, my phone's ringing

and get it because you know you're single, you're kind of, you know.

Yeah, you're ready for the thing.

I don't think we know why, do we?

We don't.

So I read this in a Bill Bryson book called At Home which is a fantastic book and he references

in the chapter which he writes about stairs that he read this one book, the only book that

is a sort of academic look at staircases and it's by John Templer of MIT, it's called

The Staircase, Studies of Hazards Fall and Safe Designs.

Yep and I have also read this book, there it is.

That's it.

It is the first theoretical historical and scientific analysis of the stair according

to the blurb.

It is pretty hard going.
