Stephen Fry: What was invented at Cambridge University in 1792?

Alexander Armstrong: Was it girls?

Stephen Fry: Not . . . no, we had to wait about a hundred years before girls arrived.

Jeremy Clarkson: Was it homosexuality?

Stephen Fry: That had been going on at Cambridge, and still, I proudly claim to this day.

[set of 4 gifs of stephen fry on QI talking: “Geneticists have established that every woman in the world shares a single female ancestor, who lived 150,000 years ago. Scientists do actually call her Eve. And every man shares a single male ancestor, dubbed Adam. It has also been established, however, that Adam was born 80,000 years after Eve. So the world before him was one of heavy to industrial strength lesbianism, one assumes.”]

Stephen Fry: A few weeks after announcing their discovery to the American Astronomical Society, they had to admit that they'd actually made a mistake in their calculations, and the universe was, in fact, more a sort-of taupe or beige-ish colour. I thought it was Gay Whisper with a touch of Amber Glow, erm, which are my favourite, er... This is... My pancake colour is called Gay Whisper. Did you know that? It actually is. Literally true. Gay Whisper.

Alan Davies: "Ga—" Is "Gay Whispers" like "Chinese Whispers"?

Stephen Fry: Only, more fun.

Actually, Ronni [Ancona] and I were talking about how wonderful boys are. They live in this this very kind of clear world about themselves. When my son was about six he had a friend over and his friend asked: “What is it like having two mummies then?” and my son said: “Oh, it’s marvellous!” and he said, “If one of them is poorly you still got one to do for you.

Ian Flemming, the writer of the James Bond books, had some strange ideas. One of them was that homosexuals can’t whistle.

The Rob Brydon x Ben Miller shocker on an episode of QI (Quite Interesting) aired on the BBC early last year. While you wait for the awesome, learn something interesting about robots.

QI is a comedy panel quiz where points are awarded for being interesting even if not right, and forfeits given for all-to-obvious answers.
