Love that Lou Sanders referenced the Infinite Monkey theorem!

I would appreciate if these were captioned on release. Thanks for all the videos!

I live in California and we need great comedy here. This is both fun and intelligent

_The Wonderful Wizard of Oz_ allegory that people have usually drawn is to late 19th century monetary policy (gold standard vs. bimetallism vs. greenbacks), an interpretation apparently due to Henry Littlefield. But there is not much convincing evidence that the novel intended any particular political meaning. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't read an interesting meaning into it.

[@Vtarngpb]

Probably the most enjoyable lineup QI has ever had ❤❤😂😂

James Bond. Based on the ancient Hindu spy Jameshi Bondhu

Lou Sanders is great!

Typically the bell rings before the shuttle reaches the margin. It rings to alert you that you have to go to the next line soon. Just pressing the return key doesn't usually make the bell ring. Clearly the typewriter used in the performance is an exception. (Cash registers were another exception.)
On an ASCII teletype, you can get the bell to ring by putting a ^G character in, which I imagine offered a lot of early trolling potential.

I still often write notes by hand - even longform writing sometimes (though I will more often type). I also write letters (and am trying to resurrect the practice among my friend), mostly using a pen (sometimes a dip-pen, which I am growing to quite like).

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

QI is the best tv show ever…

[@dianehrechko6370]

I love how happy Alan gets when he wins

[@seanbear69]

That dictation pun never fails, see Richard Thompson and, of course, De La Soul

[@davidconnell1959]

I love when Alan talks about
Scusi, scusi. This show is always best when it is true.
