Right, but notr totally nor completely right. If Lee were totally and completely right, the same would hold for statues, but it doesn't. You actually can walk around a statue and get exactly into the subject's line-of-sight (if it had sight). Statues are, as I understand (I'm not very educated on this point), designed to be viewed generally from a certain favorable angle (sculptor's POV), but there can be no illusion of the eyes tracking the viewer in 3D.

Gotta credit Lee for tolerating the misdirected condescension and playing along with it. Some comedians get criticised for being overly aggressive/rude/etc., but you can tell when it's just part of the game when they display professionalism appropriately. This instance is a good example. Lee is incredibly quick-witted and talkative but he doesn't lash back, presumably because it wouldn't end well. If it were, for instance, David Mitchell, Lee would probably just get into a comedic row with him because it'd basically be familiar territory. That said, David's not likely to be this misinformed or rude.

You're seeing a 2D image representing a 3D space, within an actual 3D space. Perspective within the illusion of 3D space created by the 2D image always has a fixed point of perspective. Even the curving light analogy kind of works if you're imagining translating the movement of light into the illusion. Lee is probably more right than he's ever been in his life.

He's only got part of the picture. Imagine trying to get the same effect with a statue. You simply can't. In a 2D representation of a 3D object, you get no relative motion when you move around, like you do in a hologram. That locks everything in place. A 2D representation only works from one perspective, but it's not because it's the artist's perspective. It's because it's 2D The artist chooses a perspective, but the 2D medium locks it in.

More that she contradicted Lee rather rudely, even though he was actually right.

The lobster bit is also misleading, while it is true that lobsters do not experience cellular decay like most animals, the act of moulting requires a lot of energy, and eventually a lobster grows to such a size that it cannot get enough energy to sustain another moult so it either dies inside a shell that's too small, or it gets an infection that kills it. So they can kind of live forever, but in practice, they can't and its very likely these super lobsters they were theorizing here never existed.

I do the happy Queen/sad Queen trick as well, can often get some laughs at the bar if the person never seen it before. Just crease at the eyes/edges of the mouth, and then one in the middle for the nose basically. Can do it with anyone on a bill, provided they're looking more or less in your direction. if you've got some strange bill where the person is looking off to the side, I don't think it'll work. Well... maybe. Given the angle, it might look like the mouth is tipped up in a smile or down in a frown. Interesting, perhaps it WOULD work. In Canada, we've got the Queen on our 20s, and different people on our other bills, so lots of variation. I think Sir John A McDonald, our first Prime Minister is on our 5s, Sir Wilfred Lauier on our 10s, who was Prime Minister during or before WWI, and I know Mackenzie King is on our 50s or 100s and he was our Prime Minister during WWII.

One of the rare occasion that Sandi didn't understand a simple concept

The Durable Mike Molloy, a Donegal man.

About Rasputin not being killed by being shot, the revolver that was in service at the time was the M1895 Nagant. Shot 7.62x38r, which might sound big, but it's a rather diminutive round. Only a small step up from .32 ACP which is kind of known to be an underpowered cartridge, and quite a bit weaker than 9x19mm. Around 100gr going 1000 ft/s vs roughly 115gr going 1300 ft/s or 147gr going 1000 ft/s. Pistol rounds in general aren't very lethal unless they're well placed, but of course it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more oomph. The later TT33 had a much more potent cartridge with the 7.62x25. Around 95gr going 1400-1600 ft/s if memory serves. It's essentially just a lengthened 9x19mm casing necked down to .31 cal (9mm uses the same sized bullet as .357 Magnum and .38 Special I believe).

***** I never said that the British used the M1895 Nagant. Did Stephen? I can't recall, been a while since I watched the episode. I was simply describing how the Nagant's 7.62x38r cartridge wasn't too powerful, so if the rounds weren't well placed, he could have very easily survived for a few minutes or hours at least. I might also add, it's basically the only mass produced revolver that's capable of being properly silenced, because it creates a gas seal when using the proper 7.62x38r ammunition. As for the British, yeah, they've used the old Webley style revolver for ages. Definitely advantageous over fixed-cylinder designs such as the M1895, or M1873 Colt SAA. Also the double-action trigger pull on the Webley Mk.VI isn't too bad, that's the model famously used in WWI. Enfield Mk.II was used in WWII if I recall correctly, using a smaller .38 calibre round I think.

@@lethe56 She did and still does occasionally have a rather ferral hatred for anything male though. When they discussed the invention of the chainsaw as a lifesaving device to help women in labour, she was just full of disdain because it was men who invented it. She's also said that when boys found out they played a role in conception, that ruined the world. I like Sandy, but she's really quite an unpleasant manhater at times, and most of the time it doesn't even make any sense. She's fortunately let a lot of that go when she became the host (probably because the producers told her to tone it down a bit). When I first heard her anounced as the host, I was rolling my eyes and convinced the show was going to end up as a soapbox for her irrational anti-male attitudes.

Sandi blew it here.

I'd say it's Sandi and Stephen that didn't understand it. They just assume they're the smartest on the panel so condescend to the other panellists.

I think the average top speed of newly built aircraft also went up by a significant amount during WWII. Wouldn't surprise me if that also was in the order of 57%. Speaking of WWII: if you're interested in people who survived a lot, look up Alan Deere. Dude scrapped more Spitfires than most Germans did.

lee is so good. love him.

Actually, all letters were pronounced in old and middle English; that's why we have all sorts of silent letters in modern English spelling. So, in "the olde pork pie shoppe", olde and shoppe would have had 2 syllables. Further, pie would have been pronounced /pee-a/, that is, before the Great Vowel Shift that took place between 1400 and 1700. Just saying, . . .

How do they separate the men from the boys in the Navy? With a crowbar. I don't get this joke. Anyone wanna explain it to me?

Hahaha! Men are screwing the boys, so in order to separate them you would have to resort to force. Much as you would with dogs.

"Separate the men from the boys" is an English idiom that means "tell the capable people from the useless", but Stephen's joke hinges on using "separate" in a literal sense.

This is not series 1 episode 1

Whenever Stephen gves up the show, i think Sandi would do it quite well

I rewatch the series quite often, especially to fall asleep so I often miss parts, and 33:50 is the first time I heard a clarkson for Sandi :D a miracle!

13:02 nobody quite got Jimmy's joke about the Queen bowing down. When I see a dog I can honestly say its balls are not the second thing I look at... ... nor are they the first.

38:26 Don't mention ze waaar, Lee!

I'd heard of the lemur, but not the sloth.

The way Sandi explains stuff just makes me think when they were looking for Stephan s replacement they watched old episodes and thought oh look Sandi already acted like a host she's perfect

And Johnny Vegas was not on?! Sweet relief!

Lee understood perfectly. Sandy didn't. She's such a bloody snob.

I think Stephen was just done with the whole show, he didn't find it fun or fulfilling any longer. Alan said he'd go to his room, have a drink and a lie down and come back and say "I don't want to do this." But that was just something I read in an article, who knows the extent or validity of it all.
