Trevor Noah is so humble and is my hero. You were fortunate to get him.

51:31 she’s actually correct I think. iirc Kangaroos, like the western reds, can halt the development of the zygote for a year or so. I remember it being called diapause or similar. It’s an adaptation to drought and irregular wet periods. And when there are good conditions the zygote kicks back into gear and starts developing to take advantage the extra feed that will grow.

The USS Kidd is the only US Navy Ship entitled to fly the Jolly Roger Flag. Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, was on board Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and was the first American flag officer to die in World War II. Royal Navy's submarine service who still allow the flying of the Jolly Roger on vessels returning from a successful mission.

I'd never heard of Trevor Noah when I originally saw his first appearance on QI. I now know he was already huge in South Africa and known on the live comedy circuit. I can't help thinking this appearance, and especially Sandi's interaction with him, might have had a hand in his international success.

To mention, going into shock can kill you. That is a fair part of why being shot/stabbed while drunk is less likely to kill you, you are just more resistant to shock.

Working in a laser optics lab for safety we have a small shielding block to put in front of the laser emitter. This is to prevent someone being accidently blinded while working on the mounting hardware (which is often because it is horrible hardware) if something happens and the laser is turned on by the monitor & control system. Therefore, on the fine motor mount ('on a lazy laser raiser') we have the block to stop the laser beam ('lies the laser ray eraser'). There is your context!

One of the more clever sobriety tests I've seen on cop videos is to ask the presumably inebriated person to say the alphabet from F to T, and then ask them to count backwards from 68 to 50. They can usually do the first part correctly, but when they start counting backwards it'll be 68 ... 59 G H. Think about the syllables involved there. First step - from F to T increasing. Second step - counting down to FifTy nine and then if you're not paying attention you start with the alphabet again.

While I don't usually like Trevor Noah's comedic take on most things, he seems to be a very nice and interesting person in everyday life. If I had not seen his comedy here in the US, but seen him here first, I would really look forward to seeing him in other things. I guess that is why I love British/UK comedy so much more than any here in the US...other folks think I am nuts. They don't see the humor.

Human boobs work pretty similarly to kangaroo boobs. They produce slightly different sort of milk at different age and different situation. A sick baby will get very different milk from when it's healthy. And if you breastfeed two kids of different age at the same time, you should probably breastfeed them from a different boob each. The two boobs will make a different kind of milk for the kids.
