Samenvatting

Includes some of the facts such as: cows moo in regional accents; the entire internet weighs less than a grain of sand; the dialling code from Britain to Russia is 007; potatoes have more chromosomes than human beings; the London Underground has made more money from its famous map than it has from running trains and more.



'I love these books ... the best books ever. Brilliant' Chris Evans

QI is the smartest comedy show on British television, but few people know that we're also a major legal hit in Australia, New Zealand, Israel and Africa and an illegal one on BitTorrent. We also write books and newspaper columns; run some (frankly thriving, if we do say so ourselves) social media pages; and some of us appear on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Showon BBC Radio 2 every week to answer your questions. At the core of what we do is the astonishing fact - painstakingly researched and distilled to a brilliant and shocking clarity. In Einstein's words: 'Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.'

Did you know that:

Cows moo in regional accents.

The entire internet weighs less than a grain of sand.

Tintin is called Tantan in Japanese because TinTin is pronounced 'Chin chin' and means penis.

The water in the mouth of a blue whale weighs more than its body.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981, it is explicitly illegal in Britain to use a machinegun to kill a hedgehog.

1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off will make you look at the universe (and your socks) in an alarming new way.

    • no explanation or examples

    Since I've watched all the seasons of QI (up till now), I figured I would really enjoy the books as well.
    I love learning new and peculiar facts and this book is full of it. I often read a few pages on the toilet or while I'm cooking. The only thing I am a bit disappointed by is that it only states the facts, nothing more. The facts are not further explained, neither do they give examples or backstory. This is something I really miss sometimes. Though you can find those when you watch the show.

    Overall I would totally recommend to buy this book. It is fun, interesting and a good read when you're looking for something short.

  • Zinloze humor

    Positieve punten

    • Fantasierijk
    • Grappig

    Negatieve punten

    • Geen diepgang

    Meer dan duizend dozijn zinloze feiten en of verbanden.
    Het boek is vooral geënt op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, gelukkig komt Nederland ook een paar keer aan bod.
    Is het belangrijk dat je weet wat meer gedrukt wordt: de bijbel of de Ikea gids?
    Nee, maar de verhouding is verrassend.
    Boek vol met leuke en vooral onzinnige weetjes.
