QI said that "Kangeroo" meant "I don't know" in one language, and even named it.
They also said that in another australian language it meant "horse" - the reason being that they hadn't seen horses before, and nor had they encountered the word "kangeroo", so they assumed that that's what the europeans were talking about.

Only the best thing on TV!

It's a quiz show in which moderately famous people are asked a series questions based on uncommon knowledge, and are awarded points based on how interesting their answer is. If you give an 'obvious' answer, large numbers of points are deducted. :P

Most winners only score about one or two points... the all time record losing score is -70 odd :D
I see colours. And they don't like you.

What are you doing?
Washing the car!
With a hammer?!
Well, it's not going to clean itself.

Although those seals are cute, they also look like they harbor some Lovecraftianly deep ancient nameless Cyclopean unspeakable evil.
