Hello and welcome to another Working From Home episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with James Harkin,
Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Czazinski and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order,
here we go.
Starting with fact number one and that is Anna.
My fact this week is
that the Holy Roman Emperor once made every citizen of Milan pluck a fig from a mule's genitals with their teeth.
Ok.
There's so much to unpack here.
Yeah, my main question is about the dynamic of as in how do you get a fig into a mule's genitals?
Like which bit of the genitals is it going into?
I'm so glad you asked both of those questions actually because I do need to be more specific.
I believe it was the anus according to most sources, which we're counting as part of the genitals.
Is that a genital?
Yeah, I don't usually know.
No way.
It's called a genital.
You can't generate new life.
Sorry.
