    Moss, in fact, actually came very close to destroying all living brain cells, when he said, "Good morning, that's a nice tnetennba."

    Pretty much every QI clip has an element that is fundamentally incorrect, but this takes the cake. The Ordovician-Silurian extinction was 445 million years ago, not 470 million years ago. Mosses did not exist at the time, the contribution of land plants to the extinction is still uncertain, and it almost certainly didn't happen the way Fry mumbled. It certainly did not take 30 million years.
