The absolutely savagery of that insult from Fry to Alan 'there are unborn foetuses that know that', and Alans loss at the lack of attention from is just brilliant

That ending line from Sean got me.

The Kangaroo's Remarkable Reproductive Organs | QI. 22.4.24. I took a hell of an earwigging after I suggested treasure hunt was terrible. My mum loved it. I wasn't ransomed...just wasn't enamoured of her behind as she shouted over the chopper blades...

"A Wallaby is someone that wants to be a kangaroo" Steven starting rugby vs league wars over here.

The clitoris is no longer considered to be an organ exclusively for pleasure. Stimulating it helps creates an environment where sperm have the best chance of reaching an ovum. The clitoris, therefore, has pleasure and reproductive functions. As for the 8,000 nerve endings, someone went back through the research to find the source of that claim. A cow’s clitoris (or more accurately the glans of it) has 8,000 nerve endings, and an assumption was made that a human clitoris must have the same number of nerve endings, too. Woman actually have more, about 10,000.

I looked it up, there is an article in medical news today from 2022 which says - They found that the human clitoris contains 10,281 nerve fibers on average, which exceeds a previous estimate based on a study in cows.

her assertion that it's twice as many as a man's is based on circumcised men. for the uncircumcised their figure is (vaguely) thought to be somewhere between half as many & fully as many

What exactly did Bill say about coins? BBC's mumbly audio in the old days is just too much for me.

He was referring to the spring-loaded coin holder that holds pound coins; he thought (he was implying) that that is called a clitoris.

I think it's some sort of coin return toggle or button on their style of parking meter. Coin operated pay phones also had them.

The third vagina actually only appears when the roo gets pregnant. It’s a more direct route for the joey to travel to get out and to the pouch. So like other marsupials they start out with two vaginas, but end up with three.

I would have joked three so that the line about being ****** left right & centre could be used… Who knew…

So what is the actual name of the parking thing you put coins in that Bill said was a clitoris? I was assuming it would be something that sounded similar but it seemed to draw a complete blank from everyone.

@@sandrograndi6638 I think he was talking about a cylindrical coin holder you carried in your pocket - a way of keeping coins of a certain size ready (for things like parking meters, shopping trolleys, anything that needed a specific coin). They were common a few years ago - I haven't seen one recently. They varied from all cheap plastic (apart from the spring), up to quite high quality leather. They operated a bit like a "Pez" sweets dispenser.

It’s very frustrating trying to listen to Stephen say the quite interesting things and everyone else won’t shut up interrupting and talking over him, it’s like an unruly classroom. That’s something I really don’t like about the earlier seasons.
