Producer Grace Grace, did it not come in handy this
week having fun fact Friday.

To the office quiz because we go fun fat Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, you have notes because you have a show to
do it.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's also that when you told me this, we had
a moment where you said that you will dress up
and I was like, what is happening in our office?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Wear shark hats because it's the shark quiz. They do
it in the newspaper and the shark from the Chase Rights.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm not sure that's making this better anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Our office is cool.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I swear it came down to a tiebreaker between me
and one other person, and the question happened to be
something that I just googled for fun fact Friday. What
a question, Yes, but it's in today's funn I'm not
going to give it a Well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The reason why I love this is because like this
is see this as like a little education piece. You
can take this into the weekend. Maybe you like a
bit of trivia, You want something to spark up a
conversation with someone who you know probably won't find any
of these things interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I brought a fun fact today that I him he's
going to spark conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Spark it. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Did you know the average speed of a fart is
eleven kilometers an hour?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, that is also about ten feet a second.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Do you know what I'd like to know then, since
we spoke about guinnsworld records earlier the week, I'd like
to know what is the fastest fart? Not just the
average fun we care about the average one.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That is also something that I did prepare. And I'll
have you know that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The fastest fart has producing Grace Googles.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
The fastest part.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Is I'll let you take this one.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Grace there's no official world record for the fastest fart.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Sorry guys, let's what we could set it.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Some reach up to twenty miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's crazy, I reckon. My husband's would definitely have that
sort of velocity. All right, here are some of the
fun facts of this Friday Britny. You might know this
one because you did have your time in the tennis sidelines.
You are not you are not allowed to swear while
playing at Wimbledon. A player is not allowed to swear
and because of this, the line judges have to learn
curse words in several different languages.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's true. Yep, so I did. My ex plays at Wimbledon.
Is a tennis player and they get fined. So you
get fined and penalized for swearing. You get fine and
penalized for like hitting your racket. You cannot under any circumstance.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
No aggression.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You can't din to the grass.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, it's a it's a big thing. I think my
ex got fined a few times.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
All right. Have you ever heard of the expression I
have newt toe of frog and wool of bat. If
you ever got into paganism or witchcraft, maybe that's something
you say quite often. But these are all just very
archaic terms for mustard seed, buttercup, and holly leaves. But
I think that fact is only fine if people have
heard of that saying I have what about smell of boy? Anyway?
(03:30):
The next one that was.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
When Laura was a witch when she was like sixteen.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The last letter that was added to the alphabet was
drum roll please the letter J. It's also the only
letter that does not appear in the periodic table and
produce a grace taken away.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's how I won shark quiz.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Guys, Yes, good on you? Would you win respect just
tally on the whiteboard.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, we're very proud of your grace. I do have
one more, and I find this one quite fascinating. What
do bulletproof, vess, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers
all have in common the same material? No, but they
do have something in common.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They're all made by the same sociopath that wants to
use them.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They were all invented by women. That's pretty cool. That
is cool women.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Just like I want to be able to see when
it rains.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I want to see when it rains. I don't want
to be shot and I want a fire escape to
get out of a burning building.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
No, what's weird? Women never used to be able to drive,
so it's still interesting that they came up with the
invention to help men drive better.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Also probably unsurprising, Okay, very last one. Did you know
the cows have best friends and they tend to experience
lower levels of stress when they're hanging out with their
best friends.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's really sad. People are vegan.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, we shouldn't eat them, I know. And they've got
such cute blinky eyes. Do you know why cows lay
down to sleep because you can tip them over if
they're dead.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
No, because all the other ones do.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
All right, we gotta get out of here.
