I just love this show.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I once, and only once, flew with Laoag International Airlines from Manila to Laoag in the Philippines. It was during a torrential downpour and the plane aquaplaned towards the end of the runway. The pilot did a sharp right turn and did a very nice sideways stop still on the end apron. Never again.

[@dcs002]

Aquaplaning isn't usually a serious problem with airliners because for most of their landing rollout they are controlling their direction and their braking aerodynamically (rudder and reverse thrust + speed brakes). Wheel braking and steering are only used at low speeds, when aquaplaning shouldn't really be a concern, ideally only when the aircraft is moving slow enough to have good traction. (That's another reason why landing on ice is rarely a problem for the bigger planes. They don't depend on wheels for control until they're going very slow.) Runways are also usually shaped and channeled to clear most of the water right away, so it's hard to imagine pooling water, though in a severe torrent, I suppose anything's possible. If there was a strong and gusty crosswind, that can make things difficult because the wind can hit that vertical fin and knock the back of the plane to one side, but the aircraft all have limits on crosswind landing conditions. Windshear can also accompany torrential rain, and that can greatly extend the landing rollout if it gets you from behind. It sounds like your aircrew got something out of balance, like maybe uneven wheel braking. (Or maybe they were landing in conditions they shouldn't have.) Modern airliners should have anti-skid braking though. That's been in use on the bigger planes for at least a half-century. When I worked for a regional airline in the early 90s, our fleet of small twin turboprops all had some form of anti-skid system. If you try hard though, you can defeat any safety system.

"an affront to my musical sensibilities." dammit i love bill. he's much like weird al, using his incredible musical talent to make people laugh.

[@cguyre]

I’d elect Alan on that platform 😂

[@ldf4064]

Rockenspiel, obviously.

[@mickmickymick6927]

The elf on the buzzer was too trigger happy. Also they forgot Sandy's -10 points.

[@Kiwi-ICU-RN]

I landed on great barrier island off the coast of Auckland in an eight seater, and the tire blew out!

[@dcs002]

Was it a Twin Otter, or maybe an Islander? That can be an explosive and shocking thing to happen, and on a small plane with a high wing it can be kinda hard to keep things upright and moving straight down the runway. Kudos to your flight crew!

[@Kiwi-ICU-RN]

I think it was the Islander? Or on reflection it may have been the Cessna Caravan? But that has about twelve seats, I can't quite remember now! It was one or the other. @@dcs002

Wow! And, lived.

[@sherrillsturm7240]

"Tippicanoe and Tyler, too" was an election slogan we learned in school. Harrison was the Presidential candidate, and Tyler Vice-President. Nixon's campaign committee for his second term was pretty bad, as well: Committee to Re-Elect the President, or widely known to everyone as CREEP! Ribs, or parts of them are a common source of bone grafts in cosmetic surgery, often for chins and nose bridges. The ribs are soft bone, unlike legs, arms.

[@Sanguine_Bathory]

Matoaka, he name was Matoaka, John Smith and his crew kidnapped her, held her hostage, "married" and Sexually Assaulted ( she was 14), then took her to England and refused to return her body to her tribe to this day.

[@thisravenhasflown010]

A damn shame too. But that's what happens in a country run by Caucasian men🤷‍♀️

[@AkutomiNamikaze]

Credit for crimes against humanity where credit's due, John ROLFE was the one who ended up doing all that fucked up shit, Smith had much less violent interactions with Pocahontas/Amonute/Matoaka.

[@ghomerhust]

@@thisravenhasflown010 not that it's very different to what this stupid country does to this day. telling women what they can and cant do with their internal organs, thinking that machines made for death are more important than children, etc. nearly completely run by white christian males. this is all verifiable fact.

[@dcs002]

@@thisravenhasflown010 It's not a racist thing. It's an invading colonialist thing.

[@dcs002]

@@MuntsonWeekdays Yes, I agree. You're right about that. They are not mutually exclusive (as I incorrectly said in my comment), but inextricably intertwined. I think my intent was to make sure the colonialist mindset was part of the discussion, but I shouldn't have excluded the racist mindset. Related to this (another can of worms about to be opened) is the attitude of some Brits (certainly not representative of the majority) concerning people of color, and people with different religions, first languages, and cultures. We have the same attitude here in the US, so I'm certainly not pointing fingers. (We have our own terrible mess to clean up concerning African slavery and justice for American Indians.) If a nation invades and colonizes other nations, shouldn't they expect and accept the consequences? For Brits (and the French), I think the problem of accepting others is broad, but still definable in the beautiful words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: "Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince "You become forever responsible for that which (those whom) you have tamed (conquered)." You conquer and colonize a land, you are forever responsible for the welfare of its indigenous people. That means welcoming them and accepting them as part of your new society. Sorry if this is a bit astray. It's just my current thinking.

[@dcs002]

My brother had his top right rib removed. It was squishing his subclavian vein against his collarbone, causing life-threatening clots. They saved his rib because he asked for it so he could make a knife handle of it, but it was too small.

[@jb888888888]

Throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you got a stew going.

[@mattgilbert7347]

American rocketry had some rather mystical origins in the person of Jack Parsons.

[@zapkvr]

The Van Buren boys was an episode of Seinfeld

[@zapkvr]

The sub plot of Whats up doc with Ryan ONeal was about rock music

[@Laudon1228]

The word Jazz also has sexual origins. The cheaper honey has been watered down and had sugar added. In Victorian times one popular engagement ring was an oval cut garnet surrounded by seed pearls. I think that sounds much prettier, and much more apropos of love, than a cold diamond.

[@ghomerhust]

diamond is the most common gem in the solar system, fact. the price of diamonds is controlled by only a few people and is nothing more than an advertising ploy to make themselves rich. more people have died for diamonds than any precious stone by malicious means. i refuse to buy any and all diamonds, and regularly inform people in the middle of a jewelry shop of all of the facts behind diamond death. the staff members dont like it but ive asked them on more than one occassion why they support the death of slaves in african diamond mines, and they simply stop talking.

[@Leytier]

American drag queen Violet Chachki actually got down to a 17” waist for the show RPDR

[@steinbachalex]

"Violet Chachki, keep training that waist you're size'll be lower than your IQ" - Katya (I think)

[@thisravenhasflown010]

I love men thinking that their body and a woman's waist size are the same when they have different chests and hips. But hey, yall AREN'T on QI😂

[@CristinaB228]

In Eastern Europe, women do remove some ribs for a tinier waist. In Romania, the trend was started by someone 10-15 years ago, when this surgery wasn't even heard of.

[@markloveless1001]

Tsiolkovsky was the true father of rocketry.

[@thisravenhasflown010]

That stone was amazing... history is amazing... oh lmao Alan.😂😂 Btw, I believe Sandi meant that they didn't have proof of women removing ribs for small waists, nor have any of these stars there have been rumours of doing so. But if you want to tell young ladies abusing their bodies just to "look good" for men is "SAFE"... keep on. It says more about your addition to how our kids are abused😂

[@officialtea-rv4gf]

alan has an rbf like me!

[@josephwear9572]

28:08 how does something “feel shiny”?

[@JacksonBockus]

Shininess requires a very smooth surface, so feeling the texture of something can indicate that.

[@LQOTW]

When I was a kid the claim was that Raquel Welsch had had ribs removed to create a tinier waist.

[@erinsibley2205]

Can anyone tell me how the points work?

[@beenaplumber8379]

They don't. The points are completely arbitrary. They do that to emphasize that this quiz is for fun, and we shouldn't take any meaning from someone winning or losing. I think they are pretty consistent with the 10-point penalty for getting the klaxon though - each time.

[@maryphelps7381]

Jezz, If you're looking to criticize try looking a bit Closer to Home .

[@mickmickymick6927]

I don't think OK comes from that.

[@dcs002]

I have my doubts too. I see there are possible Bantu and Choctaw origins, meaning "it is so" in both languages. In school in the 1970s they taught us it stood for "oll korrekt", an archaic spelling of "all correct", meaning that a shipment of something was inspected and everything was correct.

[@saturnight.3026]

I think they meant the use of it in the context "I'm okay", not the original wording.

[@kianalvares538]

I agree, vox has a video on the origins of OK but I don't know who is right here

Diamonds are the most boring gem ever.

[@jb888888888]

Sandi said several people who didn't have ribs removed but never answered the question "who did?" Unless it was a trick question and any answer other than "nobody we know of" is the right answer, which is BS. They don't even have "NOBODY KNOWS" signs to show!

[@avikash7620]

That's a seriously gross thing to considering what really happened to her.

[@ghomerhust]

she was raped as a 14 year old, taken from her home, and they even refuse to send her remains back so she can be buried with her people. it's disgusting. and disney represented her as a busty sexual princess. look at the disney animation, and say "yes, that is a 14 year old." ive never seen the film in its entirety because of all of this.

[@dcs002]

@@ghomerhust I've heard she was a bit plump as well. That would have been a sign of health back then, but they made her to look like a modern princess supermodel, further objectifying her.

[@Hexon66]

@@ghomerhust We could start by respecting her by referring to her as Matoaka

[@octoberbabyyy]

​@@ghomerhust"busty sexual princess" is a gross take. her story was not accurately told but the character is not sexualized, unless you think the female figure is under every circumstance "sexual" even when it isn't presented as such

Kind of like a channel uploading, deleting and reuploading the same episodes. Seems its worth more to those putting it out.

[@ghomerhust]

so, just stop filming? or try to keep making entertainment for people who are locked up in their houses? if everyone just stopped, can you imagine the carnage that would cause? no entertainment at all? quit being so stinking picky. also, QI has never used canned laughter. they address it in more than one episode. any laughter they have is from real people. they regularly film the audience in those episodes. there are several episodes without an audience and the only laughter is from the crew. you can tell the difference. or, if you cant, then you shouldnt be commenting in this order.
