About the book

Funny You Should Ask . . .

The perfect gift for all those big and little kids in your life who ask "why...?" With an introduction from Zoe Ball.

The QI Elves are the clever clogs behind the hit panel show QI.

Dive into this splendid collection of listeners’ unusual questions and some unexpected answers that are sure to make your head spin on topics ranging from goosebumps to grapefruit, pizza to pirates and everything in-between. Generously sprinkled with extra facts and questions from the Elves, Funny You Should Ask . . . is essential reading for the incurably curious.

How much water would you need to put out the Sun?
If spiders can walk on the ceiling why can’t they get out of the bath?
What’s the point of snot?
Why does my pizza taste so much better the next morning?
Why do dads make such bad jokes?
Why am I a capital letter and you’re not?
Why is there an Essex, a Wessex, a Sussex but no Nossex?
Can I dig a tunnel to the other side of the Earth?
Why aren’t unicorns called unihorns?
Do cats get goosebumps?
When does a rock become an island?
Why don’t clouds freeze?
Can I live forever?
