This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
I do
welcome to another episode and no such thing as official weekly podcast as we coming to you from the servants Theatre in Central London. My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting with the three regular Elles is James, hearken, Andy,
area and annexes and ski, and once again we go around the microphone with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go as starting with you Andy. My fact this week is the finnish budget. Meatballs have so little meeting
them that they have had to be renamed balls, beauty, Greta pronouncing, which translates,
his balls. But the thing is this is a this is not entirely fair. It's due to european labeling requirements. Basically, all the meat has already been cut off the animal and the stuff they use to make the cheap meat.
this- is no real attitude to jam mechanically reclaimed meat, but they are fifty percent Annabelle they're, just not fifty percent stuff wish you can
You would be called meet a chop, so they have had to remove it. I didn't realize meet stops being actual meat, otherwise, environment, animal thats, it you'll meet the life and they ve been than has the world's oldest piece of chewing gum, as well as net or had was warehouse gown five thousand year old piece of chewing gum. Why it's made from tar made of birch bark- and it was-
found by a twenty three year old archaeologist Union sought teeth marks in it. What we like the danger is that where it was found in violent,
This will be at the bottom of the world's oldest true or something I am did you guys know either in waiting greens invade sand is in a lot of what you eat just
If you found what you know, then
soup, if you have a soup sandwich, show or soup, if anything that so it is down to silicon dioxide, which I guess we can all no reason, but you never think about it. So it's it's put on the ingredients list. I checked my seat from my cupboard as Anti caking agent brackets to the can dioxide, and it's just
and and they put it in my day, I'll be like in great chief, so it doesn't sticks together. At last, there was a guy not just from Chile called Marco ever risky and he mixed far removed from his body by life or social with ground meat
to make meatballs? He was with trading
it's going to yeah it did. He then ordered he said someone else that I believe he definitely displayed them in the gallery. Cause he's an artist have a feeling he might have fathoms
friends. Did he tell him his friends the? I think that new right,
Otherwise, it will be a bit of a bad trade. Could we analyze and french why we had no Christmas courtesy of the Jackson we haven't seen Lipsitz may, when I fed the buyer body around with meat that I found. I found a few things on when you said this fact. I just I love whenever someone is forced into having to rename themselves something new, because the thing they were saying was not true or whereas, as they would stop, anything is a great one, is actually in one of the key. Why books of the fact books, which is that of theirs,
the place and is trailing cold shark bay, but it was renamed safety, Beach
to attract more tourists, the name from to a to shop beach, and they still
we're getting with people that guys. Maybe it wasn't the baby that was putting people. What else could it be frank, read an interview with a greek brewer, a great beer brewer, who was complaining about the fact that his beard he's trying to brew keeps being pushed out of the market by Heineken which basically dominates the great bear market?
and his beer only has by point five percent of the market in Greece a moment and it's called vagina beer is keeping. Is this entity or get a mention at any point? Is the fact that was a bit of rebranding might with
I have another one. That's a favorite of mine. There was a there's, a sushi bar in Montreal that got forced to change its name by by a judge, high court judge, because so the name that they gave it was a
Yo Sushi. After U K Y Yo Sushi and it looked like there was a moment where they were going to try and defend it, because it's a genuine japanese word and it means good fortune in Japanese. It's also in a karate stance, apparently
It's also the main complaint that people gave at the restaurant when they haven't like the food, but they got their downfall, was the fact that they have a facebook page and they started saying we have other ideas for bits on the menu that we want to put up, and this really was their downfall, because the other bits on the menu were up a fuck Youtube,
me wrong
fuck you all wrong and my favorite the fuck.
Mama role. They change does it they were imbracing trying to embrace it. I think it was a joke
the beginning, ok back to balls or in the alley twenties. There was a a law case between Uncle Luke's meant balls. These guys, who made these these little confectionery things and Uncle Jack's meant
boss and Uncle Luke was saying Uncle Jackson we make him impels, etc, etc, and the judge
cited that the term uncle could not be copyrighted, as there are millions of old uncles around the world, and he said uncle Jack is just as entitled to offer his bowls too.
Public, as uncle my parents
facts about Finland
at the fact that I had that one too, they like strange competitions in Finland, so they have the mobile phone, throwing world championships, the world AIR, guitar championships, the wife carrying world championships and swamp soccer, and the finals of that are called the ss.
championships and I think it's too late for that one. Actually, there was just speaking about ass, your member south end on sea traffic wardens I think, had a unified which not ass on so many complaints.
They could about S. O s very easily, does not bring the Finland also got an and nest sitting competition. That is basically the idea behind it is, is a bunch of aid,
asked and trousers down on it? And then you wait. The last person to leave is the winner wow. Now that is one of the champions of the mobile phone phone throwing competition. It's also common, for which I quite like, as if you're having for dinner
you're off season, Gunnbiorn jobs, but also in the wife carrying championships, and there are various different position from which it carry a wife and people debate over which one is the most efficient and there's one, which is Estonia style, which is, if you have the wife's legs, I've your shoulders and hanging down, which makes you wonder what kind of weird race
was happening, sexual practices. That was, I think it was because the first people to do it were
the most populous, it is the most populous island
use these days
has briefly of why I must be every year. Someone comes in with a rope
new position they ve got there why everyone gets nervous going. What does he know the reductions? Then they fail
Estonia is going to war. He has. We have now is a good estonian impression, either way, there's a boot throwing world championships also held in Finland and for an interview. They asked the two time: organizer, not the two time, winner, two time, organiser of the championships and they have their own official throwing boot. So you can't use another boot. You can't use a a non return,
nation boot and they have all kinds of they have anti doping regulations have been out of a boot, throwing
possession of drugs in fractions
I use it out yeah. I also have mosquito killing championships. That is how many mosquitoes you can kill in five minutes, using only your hand, wow
a lot easier,
yeah do you have a tiny, tiny gunboat to go retrieve the corpses when you ve got and giving selling, they must have so many gold met by potential gold medalists in Finland who, like happy, limping, brought up the wife kept no time like this
the Olympics Clean
carrying out the work going. Whatever it's always was won by a finnish man this year. Anyone
is really going there? So you can call your friends to tell me one which is a bit o. We must change and I met a guy to speaking throwing thing
we met a guy two days ago who and he's a scientist who part of his major study- and he published a paper on this and he's really proud of. It is that he throws snails for living yeah, so he chucks them over his his garden fence
and then he waits two years to see if they come back. He knows if they've come back because he puts tip x, dots all over them and then he trucks, then he puts one tip hex on if one whenever he gets one of his garden. He throws it over into this. Like a railway,
it goes next to him, so he throws him over and try yeah, but then everytime they come back. He puts another daughter and another daughter. I think there was like one with seventeen dots on it in the end, because he just kept coming back and coming back
and he doesn't use slugs because the tip tippets doesn't hold,
He has no way of doing it. We're
Yvonne began to want another cool thing: they haven't been and a's fines over their fines are dependent on your salary or your income, and so that was a Nokia executive in two thousand and two for instance, who was fined one hundred and sixteen thousand euros for it
I earned about forty miles an hour in a thirty mile an hour or something it feels like the mobile phone throwing was invented by Nokia. Don't you think cause he's?
thrown away only gonna have to buy another know. Do you know what Nokia used to make to make gas masks really yeah? The finnish army used Nokia gas masks until nineteen. Ninety five mcu is good.
Imagine you've got your gas mask on diluted, yeah. We need we need to move on, and I just got one last thing, which is that the movie just going back to the maples, the movie cloudy with a chance of meatballs in Israel, was
retired, it's raining falafel good in Finland every night they cloudy with a chance of game time for backing.
we're too, and that is just empty. Yet my fact is that Queen Victoria is acquaintance once Hunter apologized her after her pet junk. You killed three of the queen's pet deal, which I just think would have been a really all could moment,
it's bad planning, though, isn't it? What what can I lead? The jag you just put them in with the dear you're, not gonna, believe what happened yeah. I do it's an amazing sentence that is the closest sentence to the kind of otherworldliness of royalty having to apologize that your Jaguar
but this woman was, she wasn't a royal washing knows he was by weird coincidence. She was both these aren't you.
Basically all lovers, aren't so
and she was an amazing character called Lady Florence Dixie. She was an explorer. She was a raging nineteenth century feminist and she picks up the John Hewitt in Patagonia when she was chased up a tree by a junkie, her mother- and she was in this tree and she'd- had to shoot the job, your mother dead, and then she felt bad for the the baby Dracula, and so she brought it home, and she recounts do this in a letter to Charles Darwin,
in fact. Well. They were correspondence. She did correct. This is such a name. Drop of us know that Queen Victoria is because my son is dating Oscar Wilde and Anyway Darwin. The thing is that would you put any more? She was well connected: yeah wow,
what I love about hers, the guy who she married another guy. He was called Sir Alexander Beaumont Churchill Dixie on his
Name was a b c d
this
one of his nicknames actually, so they were known in coal circles, apparently, as so sometimes and lady always,
I think the enjoyment good time I asked the queen Victoria would have liked
pretty much, because I have to argue it killed Queen Victoria's beloved pet deer and was then sent to a zoo, but also have you know, John Brown, Queen Victoria's love of her lacy is lady. Florence Dixie claim that she'd been attacked by irish transvestites in the grounds of Windsor Palace and demanded that not be investigated, and so John Brown was sent out into the.
wet cold, and he died about six months later of a cold. He caught out doing six months later of a cold. He caught that wow has a big cold not going to mega man. Flour yeah I root, so I've never looked into Queen Victoria before and she was such a badass. She was so
Oh yes, she wore crotch, listened where's. She did she wore price nigh view do by Bigley the Roma. Are you really Victoria's secret nosey? She is not bad ass. Does anybody ass if your horse riding personally
No, they got to the boar bad
go on. I saw that Fiona Bruce on the antiques roadshow. They were showing that they were selling them and they were like. This is a crotch lis bit of underwear
what happened was when she died. Her underwear was auctioned off to people. I think, and she had enormous bloomers like show, is very big by the end of her life. In fact, the circumference of Queen Victoria, as weights by the time she died, was larger than her height wow, which is quite a
Terry was technically the wrong way up. Research recited the first thing she did after five exhausting five hour coronation ceremony, she ran upstairs to watch
a spaniel she added value, called Dashwood Dashing and she loved it. Sir
Umarex. He loved all around a huge amount. Actually she was when one of her dogs died, she had to be sedated, she was so upset and she had a parrot called Coco which could sing God save the queen, which was a fantasy and trick
Yeah, that is the most arrogant thing I've ever heard of anyone doing with that pet, though I think I finally told her to sing God save the queen and then they they revealed that her. She was delighted you know
the painted is having a.
A very rosy marriage, but actually she was very I
with him. She was having children all the time. She at one point had nine children under fifteen years old, which is a law, and she was just constantly busy having children and so Albert had a lot of the responsibilities of state found out to him. So he did a lot of dealing with parliament.
And his life. But she was very angry about that. You had to go but knows under the Daul report,
surprising when he'd wielded too much power like I cause she has the reputation of the the famous quote of we are not amused and so is attributed to her. But there is no direct evidence that she ever said it and the thing that we have from her staff and family. They are on record as saying that she didn't say it and that she was in fact, immensely amused.
It was such a lovely pr. Polish actually choose immensely. So no further question. Ok, some things on pats, maybe
Okay, so Rudolph, the second, the Habsburg Emperor king of hungry. He had a pet lion
and hear these horoscope read: Bites high cobra. He friend of the show
who told him to the king and the lion, had the same star, sign and so
when the lion died, Rudolph shut himself in his room was convinced. He was going to die as well, and he died. Three days later
cause. Tycho Brahe we've talked about him before, but he was a serious scientist who understood that astrology was all complete eggs, but it was how he made it
these guys, nice.
This kind of during the civil war and other friends of the show Prince Rupert of the Rhine, popular dead people,
other poodle called boy who we trains a cock, his leg and urinate on cue, whenever the name of his enemy Commander Pimm was
spoken, so whenever he said his enemy, the dog would urinate and the people thought that he was Satan in disguise. This dog, the enemy, felt that and they thought he was immune to bullets and could catch bullets fired at Rupert in his mouth. That is.
It's awesome he's had some good pr really good reason to believe amazing nonsense didn't buy back in the day. It wasn't true, I'm sorry you used to have a pet ocelot who he took everywhere with him, and if the ocelot urinated on one of his paintings, when he was painting it, he would charge the buyer more for it.
while he chose to buy them, are really only sell. The painting it'd be like my also let miles wait on this so yeah. It's ten percent increase on the joint work. The first Padres cost us
As a house budget, your house budget,
I really think we need to go come we get all the budget house
Does me out, as though they're in the nineteenth century and eighteen forty five say they cost about fifty quid which for working man was an annual salary,
and there was a budget boom as well. You shut up demand out straight, as so much
glad to be relieved from a stranger didn't. Do you know what I found other budget costing as part of the House thing: Jeff CAPES, former Britain, strongest man, competitor, Jeff, capes, now caves, but
he's the president of the budget society Hawaii yeah, I was, I was looking into royals with pets because I just I just think it's so bizarre
because they do get given a lot of presence which end up being exotic animals and stuff and Henry the third of France. He had this thing where he used to carry so he had pets. He had three dogs and he used to carry them in a basket around his neck, like a big bit of bling and they used to bark at people. They didn't trust and he'd, be like get away from me. If I didn't like the person, the dogs would bark them away, but I was so I looked into the Tower of London because I've met through stand up a guy. Who is
the Raven Master of the Tower of London, who does stand up as well as crazy. He looks after the ravens. He lives there that that's his job. He does stand up, has dick jokes, it's amazing right angst, but basically the Tower of London has extraordinary animals, or at least did back in the day. They had a polar bear. Apparently was a white bear? No one knows for sure. I can't see anyone yet and they used to swim in the Thames right yeah this kept alone, but that was Henry to that of England. Yeah, it wasn't a deliberately long leads.
again for us when I went to they'll now as it is to the tower. In those days I may enable that is its very confusing cause. It sounds like the animals had a lot of liberties. They I went to the tariff London's website and they have a whole page on the animals that used to live there and they included they had monkeys which the monkeys rashly. They lived in a furnished rooms. He could go and visit these monkeys and it says, be amused by their antics, inhuman, like behaviour, but they removed eventually be,
is one of them tore a boy's leg off in a day in a dangerous manner which makes it sound like the first time they did it? It was kind of quite well done you did it safely this time, so we're going to we're going to keep the boys.
coming into the room by you aren't a warning that we're going to have to the Bu blood, but any any. Last minutes I just have a pet facts. In two thousand and four, a man called Jake Perry owned the Guinness World record holder for the world's oldest cat. In two thousand.
Five. That record was broken when another one of Jake parries cats. This man has owned. The two old is caused by chance.
Well he's lying about how old they are hated, the first one a different color than the other. It died, the other one. Does they counted the number of rings?
They is that they have to chop the cats down.
to find out how old the very first one died and yeah. He said he feeds his cats, bacon, eggs, asparagus, broccoli and a cup of coffee every morning,
smoke, forty a day the there-
we're going to have to move on to the fact number three and that's my fact. My fact this week is that the statue of Liberty originally wore a headscarf, so the statue of liberty was originally designed for Egypt and it was originally meant to be at the mouth of the Suez Canal. It was going to be standing there with a torch and hand. It was going to be a peasant, lady, and it was going to it was all designed it was already, and then Egypt had a financial situation where they couldn't afford it anymore, and the guy who was called Bartholdy. He was an architect. He was so distressed that he had this colossal thing
can be built, there was no longer built, he went back to France, he was french and he then said why don't we make a new similar, very similar another for America, and that became the statue of liberty so richly it was meant to be a peasant woman banning it was so he's gonna set torch in hand, actually the head of Egypt's when he agreed to it once the church on the hedge rather than the hunt
but a bit weird? It's it's interesting, because it was on it. It's it represents
much for America, and this guy, obviously when he was trying to get it made in America, is well yet to deny so much about the fact that was originally meant to be for Egypt and everyone was I'd, but
it feels like you would deftly pitching this Anita only non of somebody different, and so they can bring up stuff like wool. Ok have at the fact that when you ve now re pitched it to us, you still want the statue of liberty not on. What we now know is the classic stand
natural liberties on he wanted it on a pyramid. I just did a really bad job of losing the edge it Egypt connection and then they said they site, but its literally the same design. You ve got a torch being held up and he was like: oh ok, short, so how the hell am. I meant to design a lighthouse effectively without a torch being up there for the light, forgetting to point out that
both of the designs. The lighthouse elements of it was in the head began. He just kept shooting himself in the foot you talked about the am you talked about the kind of plinth that its own? Yes, that was paid for by America right here, so fronts paid for the statue and America pay for the plant by America couldn't get any money for the plant, and so they had a big self campaigns, try and get it, and there was a company called Costa Rica who made laxative. Who offered to give.
All the money. If the name of the laxative will be displayed on the top of the statue, why go to a very different kind of liberty? Isn't that pretty and
easy movement, so the sort of the peasant she was to be a slave slave was the word for it.
It's a fella right, F E, W, o h and one of the main conspiracy theories about the statue of liberty. I'm straying into your territory. Here is the the model, for it was a man and we don't really know a lot of people say that the model was
either. But all these mother, older, the faced with on his mother,
we do, but we don't know what you're saying is that they heard that it was a fella and they thought. Yes, that's what I think it's come from. That's a really good book written last year. I think about the statue of liberty and I come from what it's called, but on the women who wrote that did hypothesize that he based the face on his brother who committed suicide. I think
whom he really loves, and it doesn't look very musket face. If you look at it tomorrow, I wouldn't say that address the
The evidence actually, as far as I could find, that it was based on his mother, is the fact that someone later on after been built, went to the opera or went to a big sort of arts events with him and his
mother, and when his mother came in this guy was like, and I turned around, and I was like whoa yeah and then he said that to people and they're like oh, that must be it. So I dunno how credible a theory. The idea of the statue of liberty was actually by Guy called La Boulay, who was a friend that he and he said in a dinner- and this was in a newspaper article if someone who was at that dinner, that it should be a statue that can be seen from the shores of America to the
host of France. Ass, big out, isn't ain't big statue, so I'm some of the guys that Q, I don't come slush talk, posits how unsaid, zig IE works. How how it would have to be in order that you be able to see it from France
It has to be more than three thousand kilometers high. I am an idiot,
the international. Do they want a high yeah, the ice s goes around what light three or four hundred kilometers high. So it's like a
how much
Matthew Stafford
as Thomas Edison of
of electricity, fame, wants it. He suggested putting a massive disc inside the statue, so it could deliver speech.
is from inside it all across New York. So, like its talking to you,
exactly and no one took him up on it. Thankfully, it's weird to think of her as it as originally Brown, all kind of golden Yellowish Brown for the first twenty five years, obviously being made of copper, it was supposed to be this shining golden statue and because we so obviously picked up green and bought all he wanted her to be gilded in solid gold. I think at first he tried to petition the american people to raise lots of money to do that, and I think they said, we've already raised quite a lot of money. Thanks very much. He had real trouble funding it. He joined to get her image copyrighted so that
We single image of her that appeared, he'd get money for it, which was quite in the eighteen. Eighties, was quite a modern thing to try and to fail to do that used to be able to they had fundraising, dentists as well way. They would try desperately trying to raise money cause all they need. They have the statue, all they needed was the pedestal and you could buy a metre tall version made of ice cream at these dentists
fun. He sold his signature and but all these over three thousand times too, to raise money for it. The only way they have actually got the money was by crowd funding. Basically, they printed in just appeal: it's a printed in his paper, the name of everyone who gave, even if you gave a petty to it, they would bring your name in the paper. So eying erase huge amount of money, be people bought the paper because they will see that even as a circulation rocket in his house
quite clever. This guy sounds amazing. It sounds like he started copyright laws kickstarter. This is really advanced thinking. So I went onto a trip advisor to see what people thought of the statue of liberty and there was one guy called Hg
and he didn't like it very much. I said he said it was bad because I don't like the site's. It's just a statue, nothing else. The tall was bad and I all the food that the car
on the person sneezed on. My back, I really dont get it. This was the worst trip ever want to stop.
And we're going to have to move on to our final fact. You guys got anything more that you want to add then mega time for a final facts of the evening, and that is James Harkin. Okay, my fight this week is that a polo mints takes forty two point: five minutes,
to dissolve. If you stick it up your nose, the first Han Q, I research, the one Risa I actually when I read that I stopped on the way to get parliament's so for the rest of the show
I might have only very comfortable minutes that just above
while he's doing I'll, explain the points of this fact. This was a fact given to me by by my mom, actually, which quite nice chief.
in this study it was by a guy called Dunn. Leopard and he's an e n t specialist at the University Hospital of Wales.
We want to see how long it will be able at home. That is inserting candy ensues knows. I'm being put off here, know that he studied five different populist sweets favoured by children and saw how long it took to dissolve in the nose and the idea is he put them up his own nose and the idea is that with children, gettings stuck up their noses is kind of hard to get it out on his quiet. You know no very nice thing, but he thought if they dissolve quickly, then maybe you don't have to go through the whole thing, each just let nature through its thing, so I shall is quite in.
One study, even though it's a bit dumb, I like that, going into that everything smells great. Actually it's not it's. Actually, quite I like, and I know that's not the point of it.
But actually it's it's making my nose feel like I'm getting more ever. Ok, so other sweets schedules take thirty seven point: five minutes to dissolve in your nose: smarties thirty, two point: five and tick tax. Twenty seven point: five, I'm now extremely sceptical study, because one of my friends is here: he is
sour schism up her. No one other day is not forward. They actually just a funny thing.
and apparently it was extremely painful
explaining. In her note, she tried to like push it out and ended up in her eyes of the all the way it's our acid was streaming out of her nose and like bits of her eyes, okay, with falling out of her face and stuff and
when I get to any. I think which implies that it does take longer than that. Maybe silence juveniles have a different. Did you love your rights? I don't think this is.
important to say at this point, but don't try
although quick update, it feels
and actually I can feel the tight smaller same about Poloz, that if you snap a polo in open in the dark, then it glows, I didn't notice and I,
Try to that was daytime. When I read this- and nobody knows why, so as a single tribal luminescence, if you turn on the lights out sniper polo it, they think about electrons, suddenly rushing to certain points of the ILO and it happens with pozos- haven't sellers eight. If he whipped sellers eight of its role, ready fastened at all, then it will glow with the point where its being ripped off and also emits x rays, and they didn't experiment last year where they managed to get an x ray of a research has finger by just the x rays emitted by sellers, eight pages of seller,
have an he managed to get an x ray through that of his own thing of Limey. How cool is that so yeah cool? So when you go to hospital the future they'll just have a massive roll of sellotape yeah. Just stand in front of the statistics know something about the smelling things. So when people who are asthmatic smell, something that they think
it's going to cause them an allergic reaction. They will have an allergic reaction, even if the thing that's smelling doesn't cause an allergic reaction, Hawaii yeah- and it's because you from what do you smell something that goes to your brain before it goes to your lungs, as it were the signals of what you've smelled and they they tested. Seventeen asthmatics, exposing them to a rose, smelling chemical for a quarter of an hour and neither were told it was. It would irritate the asthma and the rest were told that would come down
that's exactly what happened, even though it was the same stuff that some allergies, all in the mind, know what these people should stop
The opposite is it. Is it about?
it is also a real thing in some people. Yet
and thus they have my another. One of my friends is a pediatric nurse and she recently changed hospitals and, as part of the showing her around the new waterworks and any ipob showing her on the knew, what they were like, and this is where we hit the metal detector and they have now in a lot of pediatric and he was metal detectors because it's much easier way and less expensive way than an x ray. If a kid comes,
It says I've eaten like seventeen marbles, not marbles. Think the fact that you just go down there buddy. Oh, that's clever, because this pie in this paper of the polo thing they did say that if a child states, they have inserted a sweets into their nose and a
not be visualized? One must believe that there is indeed a sweet and not an inorganic or corrosive object. In other words, you have to trust the kid. Otherwise, if he says it's a sweet and actually at some
but I also know what these mysteries so that no one can visualize
It is kind of sweet before yeah can of describe it. No yeah, so I I read a report that there was originally we thought that the nose had about ten thousand ways of smelling. We could smell ten thousand different things and that recently they they looked into it again and like,
We got the number bit wrong. It's actually a trillion, wait a bit of the discrepancies ate up
counting other mobile exert MIKE. How can we hope, for we know that seems like such a high number have no idea. I have no idea bite me:
I could only smell men, said the second update deftly getting smaller wonder
If it might just pull out on its own accord, stay tuned so, but I
was so? It got me thinking about how kids I've always thought, like you know you they test people for how good their hearing is and and eyesight. You can see quite well and I thought smell that must be. We must have humans who have amazing, smell yeah and there's a guy actually who his job and it's one of the most important jobs in the world. I think this is his job title he's NASA's sniffer a NASA has a sniffer who smells everything before it goes into space. This is how powerful his nostrils aren't. If he doesn't like the smell, it doesn't go to literally his nostrils or the gateway to planet activity.
because, because, if you put summing up into the international space Station- and it starts to smell after a few months, then back can be, you can open a window open the window, I'll get it out, and so his nose has the ability to smell the tiniest of smell. So you can see that smell exists and if it's there, it can then eventually turn into something bigger. But so his job is tested every four months to see with it with a bunch of tiny little test tubes and once some of them have no smell and some have the tiniest dismount and if he fails he loses his job. We still has a job
he's got the best nostrils on earth. Did she think he can smell old trillion things in the world yeah? So I just don't know how you I mean. Maybe they can try very, very similar things and you can't tell the difference between. I have some things about things that get
