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

to you from the QI offices in Covenant Garden.

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

an Alex Bell 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 is Chizinsky.

Yep, my fact this week is that the inventor of the Venn diagram also invented a machine

that automatically bowls cricket balls.

Yeah, you can see how the two cross over because the Venn diagram is circular and well

there are circles in it right and the cricket balls are circular I suppose.

So I think that's where you got the inspiration.

So does that mean that you could draw a Venn diagram of cricket related inventions involving

balls in one circle and Venn diagrams in another circle and then in the middle you've got

this guy who invented both.

So that's not a Venn diagram because you've just fallen into the biggest Venn diagram

trap that the internet ever creates which is that really annoying thing where it has,

you've just said this thing plus this thing equals John Venn but that's not what a Venn

diagram is.

Is that a Ulysses diagram?

No, it's nothing.

It's just a thing the internet makes up.

Okay, do I really have to explain Venn diagram?
