The QI Elves are the brains behind the enduringly popular BBC TV panel show QI.
Every Wednesday the Elves appear on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show where they answer the ponderings and wonderings of BBC Radio 2's most inquisitive listeners.
Dive into this splendid collection of listeners' unusual questions and some unexpected answers that are sure to make your head spin on topics ranging from goosebumps to grapefruit, pizza to pirates and everything in-between. Generously sprinkled with extra facts and questions from the Elves, Funny You Should Ask . . . is essential listening for the incurably curious.
How much water would you need to put out the Sun?
If spiders can walk on the ceiling, why can't they get out of the bath?
Why do dads make such bad jokes?
Why does red mean 'stop' and green mean 'go'?
Can I dig a tunnel to the other side of the Earth?
How do plant seeds know which way is up?
Can you fill up a black hole?
Who popularised the recorder, and where can I get hold of them?

Great fun facts for easy reading or listening
Great alternative to my usual book of the year. It is perfect listening for the dailey commute. I arrive to work every day with slightly more knowledge than yesterday.

A solid book interspersed with horrendous sounds.
Babies crying? Recorders being played badly? Loud chewing? Why would you put these sounds in audiobooks? Every gap between chapters seemed to contain some sound designed to irritate or annoy.
The book is exactly what I expected and didn't disappoint. Fans of No Such Thing As A Fish will love it. Chock full of weird and wonderful questions that people have always wondered about.
