Actually, water is a very pale blue.

Also, legally, Henry VIII had 2 wives.

Marco Polo may just have been a lying sack of shit.

Camels are of American origin.

Speaking of America, there are technically only 46 states comprising the US, the remainder calling themselves "Commonwealths".

The capital of Thailand is not Bangkok. It hasn't been called Bangkok for over 200 years. It is called Krung Thep, though you may say it as Grung Tape. So long as you don't call it Bangkok.

I feel smarter with every page.

And don't forget that it was the South Americans that discovered peanut butter.

Not the North American rednecks.

The book was originally called 'Things that are widely accepted as correct unless you're an anal asshole (which is a tautology)'

You don't get QI in Aus? I feel so sorry for you.

We do, but it seems it's only come over recently. I don't watch it personally, but my Stephen Fry-loving sister is all over it.

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

There have been 7 cases of recorded deaths caused by the swallowing of safety labels.

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and does not find a mate.

On average 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily.

By raising your legs slowly and laying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand.
