If everyone in China jumped at the same time it would send the world out of orbit
I dont really know if that is true but Ive heard it a million times and I would love all the people in China to club together and go for one big jump and see if we could get this planet moving off somewhere a bit more interesting....

Another one from QI for you.....

Couldn't stand Ted Moult TBH. I don't think he did Barratt Homes, that was that tall bloke with the gravelly-voice, with his helicopter.

The man with the large chopper was Patrick Allen

There is no word to rhyme with orange.

Not quite. The surname Gorringe (as in Chris, former Chief Exec of the All England Club) rhymes with orange.

Ok smarty, I want to see a song with "Gorringe" in the lyrics!

Deh, deh, deh, deh.... Chrissy Gorringe...
Deh, deh, deh, deh.... Chrissy Gorringe...

Easy!

The slice of lime accompanying a bottle of Corona wasn't designed to enhance taste. In Mexico, where the beer originates, slices of lime where often added to prevent flies and other insects entering the bottle and the tradition has stuck.
