She is adorable

We went to Lyme Regis on our first trip to England in 1984 SPECIFICALLY because of her and her dinosaur discoveries. I am only just now learning that she is the inspiration to that tongue twister. All that to say, I love this show.

The facts on QI about Mary have always been a favourite of mine. Natural History Museum is my favourite place in the world. 🦖 🦕 🌋🌎🌍🌏

At least Phil did not try to eat the Coprolith this time.

Note to self: sea shells bring out the best in the QI panelists!

For those who didn’t catch the answer, her name was Mary Anning. There is loads of info about her online.

it doesn't? She sells seashells on the seashore The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure So if she sells seashells on the seashore Then I'm sure she sells seashore shells

⁠@@just-tessIn the U.S. we grew up (eons ago) hearing the phrase starting with, “Sally sells seashells by the seashore…”

Nice to hear the full rhyme, I'm trying to learn it now :p

Kate Winslet played her in the film Ammonite a few years ago with Saoirse Ronan

Mary Anning is today’s featured article on Wikipedia.

I advise her romantized biography by Tracy Chevalier :)

Very well known about in Lyme Regis, especially by the residents of Anning Road.

I always thought it was: She sells sea shells on the sea shore, but the shells she sells she should sell for more. Sandys version was: She sells sea shells on the sea shore, But the shells she sells are sea shells I’m sure, For if she sells sea shells on the sea shore Then I’m sure she sells sea shore shells. (Last line the most difficult) Bless Mary Anning - I thought this was a corollary to Dublin’s fair Molly Malone! I grew up near Lyme Regis with John Fowles of The French Lieutenant’s Woman etc, a neighbour. You learn something new everyday!

Surely the shells in the rhyme are a reference to fossilised Ammonites which are frequently found on Britains coastal cliff beach areas?

They're set into the pavement at Lyme Regis.

Ammonite with Kate Winslet as Mary.

My family visited Lyme-Regis, and it was recommended as a proper Jurassic Beach, A Statue and museum in honor of this Amazing young woman's achievements!❤

The problem of supply and demand for sea shells has been addressed previously: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqKItsSFXZeoj9Y.html

Ren knows :)

I disagree with the supply and demand argument. There are loads of people that skip cheaper options to have someone else do the dirty work. Grocery stores are loaded with light duty foods (pre-shucked corn, peeled oranges) sold far more expensive than natural foods.

REN did in Money Game Part 2

Isn't this a repost?

😂 it's not just a tongue twister. It's a riddle. She doesn't actually sell sea shells. I'm not going to explain it.

On this side of The Pond, I was taught a tongue twistier version. "Susie" was the sea shell seller by the sea shore. On Mondays Susie sold sea shells in West Sussex.

You heard 'em. Freshwater shells are for chumps! Get some salt, blandos!

Was it Mary Shelley?
