that I think I heard about this

0:12

recently joined a fairly show the answer

0:15

is biographer I know I find it

0:17

very hard every day I give it

gag by nanoseconds. The in a Bomb Us

0:37

says that's a hard one James Good idea

0:39

what the answer is. My personal favorite is

0:42

good luck running a double blind test on

0:44

that one says David in London So that

0:46

wasn't the placebo that. To

1:27

a lot of people do. that is the

2:00

If you need to this, you're in for a bit of a treat. May.

2:03

Sound a little ordinary, but am.

2:06

I told you didn't I was speaking

2:08

to students yesterday from from the Global

2:10

Academy which is one of the fantastic

2:12

car initiatives run by the people that

2:14

also run this radio station. And that

2:16

something very. It's almost like a vampire

2:18

in a room full of enthusiastic an

2:20

inquisitive young children is like you're sort

2:22

of feeding on their on their their

2:24

energy am by been really impressive young

2:26

people and their teacher Catherine was superb

2:28

as well but one of them was

2:31

a big fan. I'm Michelle and it

2:33

occurred to me. After the

2:35

session. That. He may not

2:37

have been born. When.

2:40

We did the first mister. I.

2:44

That really stop me and my tracks. Actually

2:46

I'm anna cause it may well apply to

2:48

you as well. You may have been here

2:50

since the beginning and I was speaking to

2:52

a lad yesterday. Hope. I

2:55

didn't think would have been born on with. but

2:57

anyway we digress. People

2:59

ring and requests is other people ring with else

3:01

has that's it. But trust me it's a lot

3:03

more fun than that sounds. Benzene Wix had been

3:05

question or answer. I have a question for you.

3:07

Have a sanitarium. What?

3:09

where l a city It was cold

3:11

restore electricity was discovered it is surely

3:13

they suggested that we wanna web elect

3:15

elect to the teacher was a legit

3:17

Benjamin Franklin. I don't know one of

3:19

these when I'm in Franklin at least

3:21

a couple have to d to tell

3:23

you the alerts it it was must

3:25

have been advance thousand the the is

3:27

is it would I Cope is is

3:29

a proper mystery. I mean I'd that

3:31

be millions. There's loads of stuff that

3:33

doesn't have a name. It was only

3:35

rarely saw a taxonomy and Darwin very

3:37

so of eighteenth nineteenth century. Enthusiasm to start

3:40

making lists of things and giving them all

3:42

names. On it

3:44

and it will and it would have been in a would you still

3:46

have known that it was. Stunning.

3:48

Say wouldn't a thing called the deal Is that

3:50

what you say? An oddity? It would have been

3:52

called any. So I mean, it's if or solar

3:54

think it's South American anyway. so it probably isn't

3:56

even called an eel in South America. Or.your

4:00

i's if I see what I mean of sin You

4:02

thought it was what. I. Saw initiatives

4:04

when the noise. Probably.

4:06

More I my favorite is the size

4:08

of France, a freshwater South American fish.

4:11

The Election: What we called an electric

4:13

eel that electrodes electrophoresis. Business.

4:16

And my dad had that. Now know

4:18

a definitely not electrophoresis. use his via

4:20

technical to electrophoresis. Corrects actually someone what

4:22

would it have been Cole's mom? the

4:24

as A now on the about the

4:26

already been devoted about come from what

4:28

you quote was a conga real cold

4:30

before we discovered the Colorado. the if

4:32

you touch the com the real it's

4:34

not gonna do something g that surely

4:36

people had know what came first the

4:39

cookie not a conga real his name

4:41

the Congo because they follow each other

4:43

around the say. Out

4:45

in my that I've ever dated code

4:47

I so what what came first the

4:49

the dance the conga or the name

4:51

the conga ill because it does the

4:54

conga through the see the see a

4:56

na cl less affair point ability to

4:58

so early tomorrow they will become a

5:00

do do do you can do to.

5:03

Start. Now as expected me to die

5:05

that unknown ally. That's no, I can't send

5:07

you out into the world thinking that's true.

5:09

but that's not where the Congo reopen is.

5:11

Ah God Nasa you pull toward mom's was

5:13

install a. Delay. To

5:15

kill was lunges dancing. Destroy. It was the

5:17

Electric Eel classic. You're probably right. but if

5:19

anyone knows I should give you the money

5:22

myself. I don't know, I don't have what

5:24

we shouldn't have corrected. That said we might

5:26

receipt of his let that go in and

5:28

waited rubbish and somewhere will be sitting somewhere

5:30

with someone and say tonight a Kong real

5:32

got it's name and someone would say goods

5:34

is because all the continental follow each other.

5:36

Rise is always good at i'm semi was

5:38

I heard of in embarrassed I want seats

5:40

are but seats on it would be halfway

5:42

around the world. Oil over ssl that the

5:44

largest upset why. For his troops y va just

5:46

made it out but is actually the real reason

5:48

Marco know what's going to not whether the way

5:51

com and gonna be like watching fox news. They

5:54

must be pissed I said i must be

5:56

or sisters I don't know the answer to

5:58

the conga rail and religion. It can only

6:00

answer the electric eel. Thank you for

6:02

that. I'd be amazed if anyone does or indeed

6:05

if there is an answer to it I don't

6:07

know. Maybe we shall find out Nine

6:09

nine minutes after 12 is a time. Mark's in

6:12

Bromley. Mark question or answer? Question

6:15

James carry on mate Okay,

6:17

i've reached an age now where a lot

6:19

of my friends are having various bits of

6:21

iron lungery added to their bodies Yes Bit

6:25

replacements and gold teeth and things like

6:27

that What I want to

6:29

know is when they sadly pass on and

6:32

they're cremated What happens

6:34

to those various bits of metal? That

6:37

will undoubtedly be left in the uh

6:39

crematorium. It's a bit morbid, isn't it?

6:42

It's very very morbid indeed, but it's been

6:44

troubling me. Yeah, I can see why I

6:46

can see the gold teeth Which

6:49

well, yeah, it's gotta yeah, it's gotta be

6:51

a you know, someone's making a quick Times

6:53

are hard are they Mark? Well,

6:55

not that i'm not that desperate

6:57

yet Yeah,

7:01

I mean kike I've got a vague

7:03

something Somewhat

7:05

I think I think someone told me they'd kept

7:07

a knee or a hip. I could

7:09

be completely making it up To

7:11

keep them, but what happens is they just you

7:14

know, they just gather So they end

7:16

up in someone's ear and on a mantelpiece somewhere You

7:18

wouldn't know you wouldn't be able to fit a hip

7:20

in an urn, would you? I'll

7:22

come home. I don't they're quite a big bit. It's

7:24

quite a big bit What

7:28

happens to the stuff that doesn't doesn't Burn

7:31

yeah, yeah, the stuff that doesn't burn. Okay

7:34

Thank you mark. I mean kike is all

7:37

human life and indeed Water

7:40

life what's the first sea water water life? Aqui

7:43

marine all marine life all human life

7:45

and indeed all marine life is here

7:48

Thank you. I saw so too peter's in wigan

7:50

peter question or answer. It's a

7:52

question. Carry on Why are

7:55

the numbers on a dartboard in the order that they're

7:57

in? I knew decided Um,

7:59

it is It is actually quite a careful

8:02

calculation about

8:04

the highest number

8:07

has, the one is next to

8:09

the 20, isn't it? Yeah. Is the

8:11

two next to the 19? I don't

8:15

think it is. What's the next two? I

8:18

think it's as close to the three. The three, the

8:20

19 is next to the three, the two is next

8:23

to the 17. I'm not going to

8:25

get this right, I don't think, but it

8:29

is to make it, the

8:31

higher the one you're going for, the

8:34

less, if you miss by a bit, the lower the

8:36

score will be. Do you see what I mean? So

8:39

if you go for 18, it's going

8:41

to be one and four, isn't it, on

8:44

either side? So by the time

8:46

you get down to something like 14, there's

8:49

not any really low numbers left. So 14

8:51

sits between 11 and 8 or

8:54

11 and 9. I

8:57

can't quite see the board in my

8:59

mind's eye. So that's the answer, broadly

9:01

speaking, but that's not the mathematical equation

9:04

you're looking for, isn't it? No.

9:07

All right, mate. You could have said yes. So

9:11

17 and 19 for the three, that kind of proves

9:13

my point. So if you miss

9:15

a three, if you're aiming for a three, you're going to hit

9:17

a big one. If you're aiming for a big one, you're

9:19

going to hit a small one. But I don't know how

9:21

they finally calculate. I shall find out for you, Peter. OK.

9:24

They might be in the board game, that one. I'm

9:26

sure it's come up before. But if I can't remember

9:28

the answer, then it never happened. 12, 12 is the

9:30

time. Simon's in Southampton.

9:32

Simon, question or answer? Question

9:35

please. Carry on. If the

9:37

source of a river is a trickle

9:39

of the spring and the

9:41

mouth of the river where it joins the sea

9:43

is like massive,

9:46

where does all the water come from? Because

9:48

surely, well, because a trickle is not providing

9:51

that volume of water, is it? Well,

9:53

it depends. If it never ends. True.

9:57

But it's always running, isn't it? ending

10:00

trick. It's always running

10:02

isn't it? Yeah but

10:04

the the trickle

10:07

creates a channel through

10:09

erosion. You need more

10:11

water to fill it. Where's the water coming from?

10:13

The sky mate, the sky. Well

10:18

you could be right. I am right because water

10:20

will always find its way to the lowest point

10:22

won't it? It will always cut and it will

10:24

cut a channel there and into that lowest point

10:26

all the rainwater will where once it

10:28

may have just sort of absorbed

10:31

blanket like into the earth now it's

10:33

concentrated into a channel and and then

10:35

it starts expanding again and the river

10:37

gets bigger and bigger. Yeah

10:39

but when you only notice that when it's

10:41

like a massive storm. Where else would the

10:43

water come from? If I'm wrong where else

10:45

would the water come from? Think of a

10:48

hose pipe James. I am. If you start

10:53

running a hose pipe at the top of a hill.

10:55

Yeah. When that water gets to

10:58

the bottom of the hill. Yeah. Providing the

11:00

hose, providing you run the hose constantly.

11:02

Yeah. You're gonna have exactly the same

11:06

volume of water at the bottom as you do at

11:08

the top. Yeah. Right so

11:10

at some point there has to

11:12

be other sources

11:15

or other. There is

11:17

the bloody sky. All

11:19

the rain, all the water,

11:21

all the water, all

11:24

the water, all the water

11:26

in that area, all the

11:28

other rivers, they're all heading

11:30

down to the bottomest river.

11:32

Okay. The lowest water course

11:34

will be the biggest. Think

11:37

of all the tributaries of the Thames, the

11:39

Brent and all the

11:41

other ones. Yeah. I kind of get what

11:44

you're saying. I'm not taking a round of

11:46

applause. I'm not having an unsatisfied customer. Thank

11:48

you James. You're very welcome Simon. The

11:50

source, where does all the other water come from?

11:52

If it doesn't. What you mentioned hose pipes. Come

11:54

back a minute. You told me to think of

11:56

a hose pipe. Has he gone? He's gone. Don't

11:58

worry. Don't ring him back. It's not that good. I've

12:01

got one of those hose pipes on

12:03

the rotor. You

12:05

know the ones that, Simon, you told me to think of a hose

12:07

pipe. I can't get it out of my head now. The

12:11

thing goes, and

12:13

what, I've had builders in,

12:15

right, and they've borrowed my hose pipe, and what

12:18

they've done, they've

12:20

detached the, I've

12:22

got to explain this right. You know the thing, what's it

12:25

called, the thing? No, not

12:27

the hose pipe, Keith. The thing that you wrap it around.

12:29

It's like it's got on a thing. It's

12:31

a thing thing. Like a spool. A spool's a good

12:33

word. Like a big spool. You know the ones I

12:36

mean. Like you, so you can roll it in when

12:38

it's finished, like that. But the spool

12:40

has another hose coming out of it, doesn't

12:42

it? So the spool goes to the tap,

12:45

and then inside the spool, there

12:48

is another passage of, which goes

12:50

into the hose. And

12:53

they've detached the hose from the spool, so

12:56

that they could just use it without the spool. I don't

12:58

know why. I wish they'd asked. And

13:01

I can't get it back on for love all my,

13:03

it's like I need to have, tiny,

13:05

tiny little hands. I need to borrow

13:08

Donald Trump to fix my hose pipe.

13:10

I cannot get, is there a knack to it? This

13:13

is not the best mystery hour question you're ever going

13:15

to hear, but it's my show and

13:17

my rules. Is that, what do you

13:19

do if you can't get your

13:22

hose attached to

13:24

your spool again after a

13:26

builder has removed it and tried to

13:28

cover up the fact by re-spooling

13:31

the hose so that when I turn the hose

13:33

on the other day, it

13:35

just went everywhere from

13:37

the thing. I like to

13:39

think the pictures are better on the radio, but

13:43

I acknowledge there are exceptions to that rule. 20

13:46

after 12 is the time. Mystery hour is upon

13:48

us. What was an electric eel called before we

13:50

discovered electricity? I

13:53

Don't write the questions. I Just ask them.

13:55

What Happens to the things that don't burn

13:57

after a cremation? Why is the dartboard arranged?

14:00

That is numerically as a Ray Liotta

14:02

waiting there for Salute Littler if earrings

14:04

in. And it was. I think this

14:06

is obvious. Simon the Us off my

14:08

son stand. Now, where does all the

14:10

water in a river come from? Given

14:12

that the source of the river is

14:14

usually just a tiny little springle something.

16:54

if he was standing anywhere else that was

16:56

equally near to the fire you would be

16:59

just as monkey. But you think that it's

17:01

just where you are because it's the only

17:03

place in which you're standing. Soulless? No, no,

17:05

because it you can see the plume of

17:07

smoke coming towards it. But whoop is when.

I honestly it's. Really weird for like you're

17:27

say other that's Mike's they're all right. Well I

17:29

mean first of all. The parameters

is why the side follow you around a

For the question I think here. When

did that was? when did dogs become known

22:02

as man's best friend. Alex.

22:05

An image. That. That, yes I can,

22:07

but you do that. That's what you're asking.

22:09

When did we start calling dogs man's best

22:11

friend? That has nothing to lie in terms

22:13

of animals obvious to but if it is

22:16

intended for use with a thing to humanity.

22:18

But yeah I mean I guess the don't

25:28

Someone. Is some. We

25:30

go to a place we leave out

25:32

the in a that can someone then

25:34

go to that place and. That.

25:37

See in a is to answer to that

25:39

they touch the same thing you've touched or

25:42

they see on the same thing he said

25:44

or a brush up the gun it get

25:46

something that you've pressed they've got their your

25:48

dna on men can they then transfer it's

25:51

with different place. And then

25:53

put it either like they then such

25:55

something old brushed against something next. Still,

25:57

Dna is in a place you've never

25:59

fade. What if a crime takes

26:01

place in that place? Like, do

26:03

you know what I mean? I do, yeah. Mini. Yeah.

26:08

What are you planning? Oh,

26:11

no, no, no. No,

26:14

it's just a complete, perfectly natural laugh

26:17

that you did there, Mini, wasn't it? Oh,

26:20

yes, that's a very innocent sounding laugh that we're... I'm

26:22

not worried about things like that at all. No, no,

26:24

no, no. What have you done, then? What have you

26:26

done? It's not what are you planning. What have you

26:29

done? What have you done? Go

26:31

on, tell me. No one's listening. No,

26:33

no, it actually comes from a crime

26:35

show I saw on television where someone

26:37

got in trouble and they didn't do the

26:39

crime, but their DNA was at the scene.

26:42

Your honour. And I just want to know,

26:44

like, the police, DNA swab, especially if

26:46

it's a serious crime, and even a

26:48

relative... Yeah, of course you can. Of course you can.

26:50

Yes. Yeah, even a relative that

26:52

has been... I can pick up a hair. I mean,

26:54

just think of a hair. I can pick up one of your hairs

26:56

and drop it at the scene of the crime

26:59

where I've murdered someone. No, no, I'm talking,

27:01

like, not an object. No,

27:03

I know. You're just talking about a smaller

27:05

thing than a hair. Anything

27:08

that contains your DNA is

27:10

mobile and portable. Well, how long

27:12

does it last? Well, that's not what you ask.

27:14

Also, what are you planning? I'm

27:16

not planning anything. Why do you need to know how long it

27:18

lasts? It's

27:22

a worry. Yeah, you're telling me it's a worry. We might

27:24

have to keep a record of this call for Special Brand.

27:29

No, I'm not planning any crime. I'm just

27:31

saying I have a thing

27:34

about it. I think is

27:37

my DNA somewhere? Yes, definitely. I

27:40

have read more crime fiction than you have. I

27:44

don't really want the true crime stuff

27:46

on the telly, but yes, definitely. If you think

27:48

of a little piece of skin or

27:50

a bit of saliva or whatever it is, just think

27:52

of it as if you thought of a hair before

27:54

you rang in, and you probably wouldn't have rung in,

27:56

would you? Because a hair so

27:58

obviously can be charged. transferred from one place

28:01

to the other. Obviously, but after a while that

28:03

hair is going to be... No, no, no, no,

28:05

that's your second not allowed bit of the question.

28:07

You didn't ask about it wearing off. I'm

28:09

talking about fingerprints and DNA. Yeah,

28:12

I know. Hair is DNA. Hair is

28:14

the DNA in the hair that would allow them

28:16

to... Yes, I know, but

28:19

it's the same. It's the same. Right.

28:22

There is DNA in your hair that

28:25

they would use to establish that you

28:27

had been somewhere, but they can't establish

28:29

it conclusively because someone... Your

28:32

hair could have stuck to someone's coat. So

28:34

that's how... I mean, they also... Well,

28:36

look, the obvious answer to your question actually, which I should have

28:38

realized sooner, is how the heck do you think they catch

28:40

people for murders 30 years after they happened?

28:43

Answer because they find DNA on the clothes that

28:46

matches the murderer, even though it's now in a lab and

28:49

has been for 30 years. So the DNA

28:51

has moved from the crime scene to the lab. See?

28:54

It had to be meticulously kept. Yes, all of that.

28:56

But it's still... Your question was, is it mobile?

28:58

And the answer is yes. Okay, thank you.

29:01

Thank you. Round of applause for me.

29:04

In fact, too, because that was like pulling teeth,

29:07

which also can be moved from the scene of a

29:09

crime to elsewhere quite

29:11

easily. Andy's in Tunbridge. Andy,

29:13

question or answer? Afternoon, James. The

29:17

answer to your questions about rivers

29:20

and contribution of the

29:22

water that gets into it. Yeah.

29:25

So there's kind of two elements to

29:27

this really. One is the contribution of

29:29

groundwater, and one is the contribution of

29:31

the broader catchment. So on

29:34

the groundwater side of things,

29:36

in Southeast England, you have

29:39

permeable rocks like chalk. Chalk

29:42

is a really important element in this because

29:44

it is a source of where water is

29:46

held and it can be kept there

29:48

for months through the summer. So

29:50

then at the spring line at the

29:53

impermeable rock, the water then starts being

29:55

emitted back into the river system all

29:57

through the year. But it's a slightly

29:59

different. in the case of, say, the

30:01

Lake District where you've got impermeable rocks,

30:03

but the sheer amount of water that

30:06

you get because of the high rainfall

30:08

totals means that there's always water contributing

30:10

to those catchments anyway, and you've got

30:12

glacial deposits which help to kind of

30:15

keep the lakes themselves in

30:17

place. So

30:19

that's part of it. That's called

30:21

the base flow element of our

30:23

river systems. In

30:26

some amounts when it becomes very

30:28

dry, you do sometimes see rivers

30:30

starting to dry out. You

30:33

do? So the other element of this is

30:35

the broader catchment itself. So even

30:38

something like the Thames isn't just

30:40

one river water course. There

30:42

are hundreds potentially of other

30:45

smaller tributaries which... Like the

30:47

Brent and the Fleece? Yes.

30:50

The Tyburn, is the Tyburn a river? I

30:53

think so. The Kennet, the

30:55

Coles, the Chet... All of that.

30:58

All of that. So they all contribute

31:00

to the broader Thames catchment. So

31:02

when you get heavy rain which usually falls on the

31:05

higher ground, you tend to

31:07

find all those small contributing rivers

31:09

all then coalesce to form a much bigger

31:11

river in the centre which then runs out

31:13

towards the sea. And that's the water cycle,

31:16

as you say. The

31:18

major answer is it comes from the sky and some of it

31:20

comes from the ground, but the stuff in the ground was once

31:22

in the sky. Yes, and it's held

31:25

up in soil as well. It's all good.

31:27

You've done it. I mean

31:29

it wasn't... I felt we were quite generous

31:31

allowing Simon's question to stand because the source

31:33

of his confusion seemed to be more

31:36

of a him thing than a we thing,

31:38

didn't it? But what are reminders of your

31:40

qualifications, Andy? I work for the

31:42

Environment Agency. I manage it on

31:44

duty at the moment as a flood warning duty officer.

31:46

What happens if there's a bloody flood and you're on

31:48

the bloody radio? Well, yes. I'm probably

31:51

going to be issuing flood alerts later today

31:53

actually. Really? What

31:56

about? Don't tell us. You might get into trouble.

31:58

What if there's not a flood? No, it's fine. the

32:00

Mole in South London. And

32:03

you think there's going to be a flood? No,

32:05

not warning. Well mate,

32:07

you're flooding your mind

32:10

up. Just

32:12

to what we call a level of messages that we send

32:17

out when we expect our bank flow. Well

32:19

good luck, keep them peeled. Round of applause

32:23

for Andy please. Thank

32:25

you. Thank you Andy. We should have a Premier

32:27

League of Mysteries. We should have a Premier League

32:29

of Mystery Eye contributors, shouldn't we? Andy

32:31

would be very much in it. Ruth in

32:33

Toronto. Ruth, question or answer? It's

32:36

an answer sir. It's good to talk

32:38

to you. I

32:41

am blind so that's my qualification but there's a

32:43

lot of blind people so I

32:45

don't get a radiola. The

32:50

money in the United

32:52

States is not only all the

32:54

same size but it's all the same color.

32:57

So if a person with visual impairment could

32:59

see color that doesn't help them either. Whereas

33:01

in Canada our money is all the same

33:03

size but it's a different color and we

33:06

have braille on our money which the American

33:08

blind people lament because they do not. So

33:11

here what they sometimes do is they'll fold the

33:13

money in a certain way, the ones

33:15

or the fives or the tens in certain ways

33:17

to keep it in their pocket so they know

33:20

what's what. But in order to but

33:22

then you have to trust the person who's given

33:24

it to you to tell you that they are honest in what

33:26

they're giving you. Now there is

33:29

a little machine that they can get which is slightly

33:31

bigger than the dollar bill and about an inch thick

33:33

and they can put it in and it will push

33:35

a button and it will identify the

33:38

money and believe it or not that machine

33:40

is made by the Canadian government for the

33:42

American money system. And then

33:44

all the other thing though which is

33:46

much handier now is there's apps on

33:48

the phone, there's an app called Be

33:51

My Eyes which every visually paired blind person

33:53

should have because it does a lot more than

33:55

that. And so there's different apps but it's really...

34:00

It's rather cumbersome and

34:03

unpleasant to have to be pulling your phone out

34:05

and checking every bill when you're standing at the

34:08

cash in the... But better than being

34:10

ripped off or handing over a hundred for

34:12

a 90 cent purchase

34:15

and getting 10 cents back. That's absolutely for certain

34:17

but that's the answer. Ruth, that is

34:19

perfect and you've already established your credentials so

34:21

please exit. Yes, I have logged

34:23

60 years of League of Blinds. Well there you

34:26

go. A round of applause at least. Thank

34:28

you. Thank you. Thank

34:30

you. We'll talk again. Coming out to quarter tour,

34:32

squeeze in one more. John's in... I've

34:35

got to tell you, judging by my inbox which I can't

34:37

consult on air, I

34:39

can't read it out because it's not allowed, I

34:42

think James' question about the smoke was a good question

34:44

actually. I hope we have time for an answer. John's

34:47

in Newry in Northern Ireland. John, question or answer? Question

34:51

James. Yes. The

34:53

question is, it seems a bit callous

34:55

compared to when your man's talking about dogs. Go

34:57

on. He's a nice friend but

35:00

anyway, when you get a mad dog right

35:02

and you attack somebody and the

35:04

tweets come and shoot them or whatever, why

35:06

do they always say the dog was

35:09

destroyed? I'm not killed. The

35:11

dog was killed at the scene. Yes,

35:14

if you drop a ghost paint

35:17

over a wedding dress, it's destroyed or you fire

35:19

a missile at a building, it's destroyed. Destroyed,

35:22

destroy a dog at the scene. The dogs were

35:24

destroyed at the scene. You're absolutely right. I don't...

35:27

I have no idea. It

35:30

just always seems the only thing we use in

35:32

connection with dogs. You know, if a polar bear

35:34

attacks somebody, some scientist or something to shoot at,

35:36

right? But a dog... We

35:38

don't know that, John. I can't really... No,

35:40

seriously, I think if a lion escaped from

35:42

a zoo and then got... I

35:45

think they might say on the news a lion was destroyed.

35:48

Would they? I don't know. I've never heard that. No, no,

35:50

no, but when's the last time you heard of a lion

35:52

escaping from the zoo? Thankfully,

35:55

no. That's

35:58

not a temp thing, eh? bad

36:00

stuff in the world going on without us

36:02

accidentally jinxing an escape line. Okay,

36:04

I like it. It may be too late in

36:06

the day but if anybody listening knows the answer.

36:08

In fact, I think we can probably remove all questions

36:10

now from the board, focus

36:13

exclusively on answers and try and rattle

36:15

through what remains in the time

36:17

that is left to us. You are listening to

36:19

James O'Brien on LBC. It is 1246. It

36:23

is 1249. Lots of answers coming in via text. I do

36:25

wish I could share them with you but

36:28

I can't. Them's

36:33

the rules. Yarrick is in Orpington.

36:35

Yarrick, question or answer? It's

36:37

answered, James. First of all, very nice to be on

36:40

your show. I love your programs. Very kind. What a

36:42

lovely thing to say. Let's go. It's

36:45

true. So regarding the air, if

36:48

you blow the air through your purse's lips, you

36:50

are increasing its speed velocity and in

36:53

that way you are decreasing its temperature

36:55

felt on the hands. It

36:58

is the physics laws

37:00

regarding the gas flow.

37:03

When you are blowing through your open

37:05

mouth, you are blowing the air at

37:07

much, much lower speed and

37:09

the air comes out from your lungs which

37:12

is heated up by circulating blood. Because

37:15

your extremities, your hands, your

37:18

feet are on average slightly

37:20

colder than the inside of your

37:22

body, then you perceive the temperature

37:24

which is coming from within your body is

37:26

slightly warmer. So that's why we are blowing

37:29

on our hands through the open mouth when

37:31

we want to warm up. It's

37:34

got nothing to do with taking the

37:36

heat out of your hand. No,

37:39

no, no, no. Are you sure? To do with

37:41

the, yeah, I'm sure. It's to do with the

37:43

temperature of the air. One time

37:45

it's decreased by the quick flow through the

37:48

purse's lips and then the other time when

37:50

you open through your mouth. Hang on, what

37:52

are your qualifications? I'm

37:54

an emergency medicine doctor, so human

37:57

physiology. No,

37:59

I'm not arguing. We're about. this is another though

38:01

you are no no no always on know

38:03

I know it's own on. never argue unless

38:05

it's absolutely necessary are you know this but

38:07

I found myself as an even all humanities

38:10

i agree I should can be around of

38:12

Hello James on the bit nervous or was. It

40:10

is to. Assaults

40:12

to.vote Yes. On line. Gamelin

40:14

in the eighty nineties came up with

40:16

a configuration of the numbers. Are

40:19

you silent on the on up? Almost. No.

40:22

Darling know there are thirty two Pr it's

40:24

Diego he's we are are are are ago

40:26

and Ryan gamblers. He up

40:28

in the Eighty Nine. T. Somehow or another.

40:31

Not only my her people who ryan

40:33

in the nineteenth century know Brian Brohm

40:35

as Molinari. Hey Brian Brian Okay, Gone

40:37

ninety Eighty nine. Brian Gambling Yet eighty

40:40

nine seats. He came up with it.

40:42

and I think they say that soon

40:44

as the two million or that configurations

40:46

that you could come up with that

40:48

he's just really. he did ended up

40:51

being the best. It's to increase accuracy

40:53

so you can't get a lucky shot.

40:55

Yes, I can't sleep to see to

40:57

win Said it is to increase accuracy.

41:00

So if you're not that is so if you miss a

41:02

high number by but you'll hit a low number and if

41:04

you miss alone on of by but you high number of

41:06

the but do we know the actual calculation said the one

41:08

is next to the twenty but the to is not next

41:11

to the nineteen for example. Know.

41:13

Keep it honestly. Just As Designed

41:15

to See just came up with the endeavor.

41:18

So many other. Ways like I said the

41:20

people come up with decided to is a as

41:22

to what than. Two

41:24

million. Or that configurations it could be

41:26

a he's just is wet the best

41:28

the but he died before the Pinkston.

41:30

Pick Oh how terrible. A

41:33

noisy note three as he probably could

41:36

play to qualifications. And

41:38

it was it. would. it's. With I'd always

41:40

it a village out on it with Christmas

41:42

you know it's not a full load it

41:44

on me with my dog and that kill

41:47

him to talk to jump through these conversation

41:49

run flows from a press. Conference

41:52

These incidents ah Alex's in Hotels

41:54

Question on Sir Alex I'll go

41:56

unanswered On really excites exists gonna

41:58

be more shit clapper. Zarrella

42:00

for an answer a month for question

42:02

must not have any. The another how

42:05

any chickens an excess of seventy six

42:07

years before they hatch com I try

42:09

to answer the answer to that dogs

42:12

been destroyed is because dogs are classed

42:14

as chat So and a chat So

42:16

acer looking at Gogo is an intangible

42:18

person property. So you're not gonna say

42:21

a dog was killed legal a zombie.

42:23

Know it's a cast as chancel so

42:25

that's what I say. Destroyed Militant is

42:27

taxable, And juvenile

42:30

asked me my qualifications for this time for

42:32

your qualifications for this because I had the

42:34

very first have a dog custody battle which

42:36

I know you refer to it back in

42:39

two thousand and six most listening to your

42:41

show once before. I mean I took my

42:43

ex to Colds and I were talking about

42:45

it. That's when I found out that dog

42:47

is classed as Chancellor. So that's why I

42:50

think that's why they don't say it was

42:52

killed in legal terms because a dog isn't

42:54

past as a. Dating. Back

42:56

to oddly. Dating.

42:59

Back to the times when a dog would

43:01

be of value because of the services provided

43:03

to the owner rather than the company in

43:05

the comfort and south. So that's why I

43:07

think they don't call it showed. I personally

43:10

would say by dogs were killed because in

43:12

Olive Olive dogs and a spot know that's

43:14

why I may pay for are killed, animals

43:16

are destroyed boehner and above the dogs are

43:18

destroyed because that's how I like that qualification

43:20

whether or not is relevant to the salsa

43:22

you've provided or not doesn't really matter. Com.

43:25

Dot. In a class or thing you do, you. Say

43:28

that high costs and Iconix top fifty

43:30

six is the time pizza is into

43:33

a can impose a question on so.

43:35

It's an answer pumped on this one. Is.

43:39

So I have gone. and Peter Carr com

43:41

is a proper copper Who was a proper

43:43

compass. How many proper coppers kind of proper

43:45

copper cope with a proper copper could cook

43:47

coffers. Carry on pizza? Yeah you right Dna

43:49

is mobile and when we leave Dna at

43:51

a saying it's in the cells of our

43:54

body so the hair is in the follicle

43:56

at the end of the had yet. our

43:58

skin cells over ever or

44:01

in blood or any other fluid and

44:05

yes it can be moved around and that is

44:07

a real problem for proper coppers because

44:10

there's sort of degrees of

44:12

contamination with different issues. The

44:14

first is that somebody brings

44:17

DNA into the scene, their own

44:19

DNA by walking through

44:21

the scene after it's happened. Yeah exactly, it's why you

44:23

have to put on your special shoes like you're at

44:25

the swimming pool. Exactly, exactly

44:28

right. All of that clothing and

44:30

over shoes and the packaging of

44:32

things and gloves, they're all important

44:34

to avoid contamination. Perfect. So

44:37

that can distract the inquiry but even

44:39

worse, it's secondary you can move stuff

44:42

around within a scene. Because it lands

44:44

on you and you take it somewhere

44:46

else unwittingly. Exactly and you put it

44:48

down onto another item and even worse

44:50

still... Defense lawyers dream mates. Somebody else's

44:53

DNA. Somebody

44:55

else's DNA. You saw a spit on the pavement,

44:57

someone walks through it and next thing your DNA

44:59

has been walked into the murder scene of the

45:01

house next door. It's not as easy as that.

45:04

So it's really really difficult. Qualifications. Used
