\"QI\" is the smartest comedy show on British television, but few people know that we\'re also a major legal hit in Australia, New Zealand, Israel and Africa and an illegal one on BitTorrent. We also write books and newspaper columns; run a thriving website, a Facebook page, a Twitter feed; and produce an iPhone App and a sister Radio 4 programme. At the core of what we do is the astonishing fact - painstakingly researched and distilled to a brilliant and shocking clarity.

In Einstein\'s words: \'Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.\' Did you know that: cows moo in regional accents; the entire internet weighs less than a grain of sand; the dialling code from Britain to Russia is 007; potatoes have more chromosomes than human beings; the London Underground has made more money from its famous map than it has from running trains; Tintin is called Tantan in Japanese because TinTin is pronounced \'Chin chin\' and means ~ censor ~; the water in the mouth of a blue whale weighs more than its body; Scotland has twice as many pandas as Conservative MPs; Saddam\'s bunker was designed by the grandson of the woman who built Hitler\'s bunker; Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981, it is explicitly illegal in Britain to use a machinegun to kill a hedgehog. \"1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off\" will make you look at the universe (and your socks) in an alarming new way.
