Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber, and I am sitting here with James Harkin,
Anna Czenski, and Andrew Hunter Murray, and once again,
we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that is my fact, my fact this week,
is that the White House's Oval Office is a giant weighing scale.
What do they use it for normally?
Weighing the president.
No.
To see how heavy he is.
No, it's not.
That's why you weigh things.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
It's to see that he's there full stop.
So the Secret Service need to monitor where the president is at all times.
However, they're not allowed into the Oval Office.
He doesn't want them in there, so they have to stand outside.
Now, when the door is open, they can see where he is, but when the door is shut, they can't see where the president is.
