Q.I. is a new game show on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk
Hosted by Stephen Fry with a panel of celebrities, points are not necessarily awarded for getting the right answer, but for providing "interesting" answers, usually invoving some high brow trivia about for example, the latin name for buzzards (and how the ancient Greeks thought they had 3 testicles). Points are also deducted for giving the obvious answers, usually wrong eg claiming that no words rhyme with purple.
Sounds a bit lame but it's very very funny. Honest.
Not only does the male european earwig have the largest penis in comparison to its bodysize but it has a spare penis as well.
Japanese scientist discovered this fact when they pinched the back of the male earwig as it was copulating. It was so surprised that it backed off and left it's penis inside the female. However much to the astonishement of the scientists another penis popped out from inside the earwig to replace the one it had lost.
