#QI #RoyallyOddEpithets #Education
Jodi and Nick react to QI as they look at epithets for royalty that today sound odd. This clip shows the panel probably the most out of sorts but they are still great at what they do.

epithet - an adjective or phrase expressing a quality or attribute regarded as characteristic of the person or thing mentioned. "old men are often unfairly awarded the epithet ‘dirty’" epitaph- a short text honoring a deceased person. Strictly speaking, it refers to text that is inscribed on a tombstone or plaque, but it may also be used in a figurative sense. As a teacher when I get something wrong I always tell the kids that is why it is important to read and learn every day of your life.

Let's face it, all of these old kíngs were likely "dirty".
Spike Milligan, the father of modern British comedy, worshipped by most other comedians, has carved on his gravestone, written in Gaelic, “Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite”, which translates into English as, "I Told You I Was Ill".

He wanted it to be in English, but the custodians of the graveyard thought it unseemly, so the language choice was the compromise.
"I will NOT be bossed around" - then that cut, lol
The comic character Alan mentioned was Janus Stark, a rubber-limbed, Victorian escapologist who fought against injustice. "The Incredible Adventures of Janus Stark" originally appeared in Smash! in 1969 and then continued when the comic was merged with Valiant, eventually ending in 1975. Originally written by veteran writer Tom Tully and drawn by Francisco Solano Lopez (and his studio), Angus Allan later took over the writing duties. The strip was reprinted in France where it proved extremely popular. When they ran out of strips to reprint they created new ones which ran well into the 1980s.
For QI I recommend. QI They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is.
The full episodes on QI is worth watching.
The fart question is really just another version of "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The tree still creates a pressure wave capable of producing sound, but it's the perception of it that creates the sound. Therefore, the fart still has a chemical composition to create the smell, but without a person to perceive it there is no smell, just chemical compounds in the air.

Nah, it's just nonsense. Sound is what we call something that can be heard, not something that is being heard at the time.

Are you confusing epitaphs with epithets ?
Ragnar Hairy-Britches (or Lodbrok) and Ivar the Boneless were main characters in the TV series "Vikings"..
Such a great topic of conversation first thing in the morning with my coffee 😂
Yes, I can confirm that heart surgeons use an electric saw to get through the sternum - well that's what he told me when I had heart surgery a couple of years ago. What annoys me, was that the surgeon made no mention of using a toffee hammer, or any similar device, as this would have been a far gentler procedure, I am sure. Though he did delight in telling me afterwards, that he had tied my sternum back together with stainless steel wire. I am pleased that he used something rust-proof for this purpose. Although I did have to hug my chest tightly with both arms wrapped around my chest, should I happen to sneeze suddenly, or whenever some other dastardly patient in the cardiac ward would tell some particularly funny joke.
A teacher who thinks Epithets is epitaphs? oh my ...

We seem to have lost the ability to generate really good epithets. Russians had Catherine and Peter the Greats, & Ivan the Terrible [ England had Alfred the Great, as well as Edward the Confessor ]. But, not really since William the Conqueror, or William the Bastard as he was originally known have we really done much. Charles II was 'The Merry Monarch', & Elizabeth I was ' Good Queen Bess' , or 'The Virgin Queen' [ if you believe that ....], and Mary I was also known as Mary Tudor, to identify her from her relative in Scotland Mary Queen of Scots, or as 'Bloody Mary'. That's about all really. Hardly compares to someone like 'Vlad the Impaler', who really did what it said on the tin.

"We" don't make them. That rarely works Kaiser Wilhelm II tried really hard to establish Wilhelm I as "the great" but it never caught on. . The world, historians or the successor makes them. And they have various reasons for doing it or not.Or give them demeaning ones. Lot's of politics and emotions involved. You know, what they say about who's writing the history books.

It smells when it hits your olfactory sensory neurons high inside your nose.
Come on, does methane, hydrogen and the really bad one hydrogen sulphide smell because it has oxygen/nitrogen (air) combined or not?

A lot of the really smelly compounds contain sulphur. Sulphides obviously, as you mention, but also thiols & mercaptans. Mercaptans are present in brassicas [ cabbage family ], which lead to many of the associated bad smells. Organic acids, alcohols, esters, ketones & aldehydes tend to produce much sweeter, more pleasant smells [ with the obvious exception of butyric acid, which forms in rancid butter, milk & cheese, & also present in US chocolate ].

@@happilyeggs4627 you need air to breath, but a toxic smell devoid of life giving oxygen will still smell vile, wouldn't it? Not that you'd need to endure it for long. The smell is its chemical compound activating your senses not a comparison to air.

We do have good bacteria in our gut so I’m sure it’s fine that we have stuff inside that won’t cause any problems.
They smell fractionally before they exist, the smell is the fart. The smell is where it starts. I'm not a doctor, but I know that's got to be true.

Is Nick always "super excited "? Never only excited ? Or interested, perhaps. Intrigued? What is the verifiable difference between "excited " and "super excited "?"

Here is some advice for you. If you are bursting to do a fart and there is a lit Candle on your Coffee Table. Never try to put the flame out with your fart. The gas would catch alight and you would burn your bum. Or would you?
