QI isn't really about pointless information, or shoring up vast banks of trivia, It's about finding undiscovered connections and seeing hidden patterns, just like the best comedy. After all, curiosity is hardwired in all of us; we just lose the ability to indulge it. "The lust of the mind", Thomas Hobbes called it, "that exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure". There you have it, and from a philosopher not a press release. QI: better than sex. Having started in 2003 with all things 'A', QI is attempting to get all the way through the alphabet, and then possibly continue through the numbers which are, naturally, slightly more numerous.
Lisaks sellele on saatejuhiks minu üks selge lemmik Stephen Fry, kes lisaks sellele et on harukordsete teadmistega mees, on ka võimas koomik ning tõeliselt lahe sell.
Soovitan vahel paarile saatele silma peale visata, esiteks tõstab su morni meelt, teiseks annab uusi teadmisi ja on lihtsalt lahe. Britipärane on kõik kuidagi ilus ja hea.
Muuseas, sain QIst teada näiteks, et maailma esimene teadaolev kirjalik supileeme märkimine toimus kunagi koopamaalingutes ning selle supi maitseks oli jõehobu ehk siis jõehobusupp oli maailmaesimene leem. Imeline!
