Moments the boys were wrong...

I can't listen to the speeches about ties being invented because we didn't have buttons yet for the same reason.

So why were ties invented? (And don't give me some crap about slave collars!)

Interesting, if it's true. I haven't got it verified yet, but.

[Spuddy]

As if it being on a website isn't verification enough...

[Scotland Rocks!]

Everything on a website is confirmed.

The last item on the page, I think you'll all recognize it. After all the shit they give Karl, it's nice to see Ricky and Steve believing an email from an unconfirmed source that turns out to be utter bullshit.

[Scotland Rocks!]

Yeah, we mentioned that a few years ago. It's probably also in this thread somewhere.

pretty sure someone even posted the original "disproof" story a couple years earlier than this - just can't find it...

It has it's own Pilki-wiki page with more info:

Fair nuff

Now I know

And knowing is half the battle.

On the TV just, they said the stakes for carrying cocaine were high. (high punishment)

This meaning would make stakes and risks the same.

EDIT: It was BBC3, do I dunno.

What is at stake is the punishment/reward and the risk is how likely he'll be caught.

Karl has won!

There's a few things but as I've been listening tot his in particular..

when Karl says about how birds are louder on holiday and that they change their songs when closer to the road. Ricky says this is rubbish. It's not. It's true. And there's been research on bird song in urban areas (plus other species) for years now and birds song's do vary in different parts of the world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombard_effect

[ScottHanson]

Wouldn't they be louder in London then, rather than when on holiday, where it's quieter?

[Woody]

And there's been research on bird song in urban areas

It's true, the other day I heard one singing along to Jay Z's "Big Pimpin."

[Forty Tooth]

When Ricky and Steve said xfamily fortunes was going to be a great feature.

[slytown]

When Karl told the fact about the Thames freezing up in the 19th Century, that was actually true, yet Rick and Steve displaced it. From the 14th to the 19th C. (aka The Little Ice Age), the river would occasionaly get so thick with ice that the citizens would hold "frost fairs" on it. Quite interesting.
