I love this so much. It's a really novel use of the GIF and very well done. I want to see more 1-panel comic GIFs!

I was going to say the same thing. I want to know more about the study where they humiliated cows.

They humiliated the cows by having the sheep roll across the cattle grids which were stymieing them.

Well...it's pretty selective fact picking
Selective fact picking? On QI? You don't say...

Love the show anyway though so...

The artist who does these wacky gifs has his own site, where (if you go to Page 2 and scroll down), he had previous put on display various imaginative pop-culture 'mashup' pieces (many in animated 'neon' format). I hope somebody pays him to do more of these.

I think it was Dr Ben Goldacre who raised this point about the show, on the show.

How do wombats poo cubes? This woman isn't sure, and her homemade wombat digestive tract didn't really help.

When I read Fun foal ages? I groaned out loud.

When I read Fun foal ages? Equine believe how pony that is., I laid down and died.

Also, our feet don't point backwards, so not like a human at all.

This reminds me of a special fact from QI: the theme from Top Gear is named Jessica.

According to Stephen Fry, this is the most interesting fact in the world.

Er, yes, it's a famous instrumental by the Allman Brothers. That's not really a special fact, is it? Or am I missing something.
