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, I am sitting with Anna Chazinski, James Harkin, and Andy 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, that's my fact.
My fact this week is that monorails were originally horse drawn.
That's really great.
It's like they're ultra modern, with they're not very modern at all.
Yeah, exactly.
It's the future, but there's a horse attack.
It's like, it's everything, I always wonder.
Spaceships have the same thing, I think, don't they?
Yeah, exactly.
I've always wanted to know if like back in that period there were books that were just called,
like, when will I get my hover horse?
They hadn't yet known about the next bit of technology.
Yeah, the thing I really love about it is all the main new inventions coming out at that time,
even household stuff that was run on QI, that vacuum cleaners used to be horse drawn as well.
Just everything was horse drawn.
