QI Fact of the Day

The Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is world famous for his Fairy Tales- including The Tinderbox, The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, The Princess and the Pea, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes & The Snow Queen, but his plays, novels, poems and travel books are unknown outside Denmark. Like Joseph Stalin, he was the son of a cobbler and a washerwoman.

QI Quote of the Day

“Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers.”

The QI Book of the Dead

The QI Book of the Dead compares and contrasts the different ways individual human beings cope (or fail to cope) with the curves that the universe throws at us. Collected into themed chapters such as 'There's Nothing Like a Bad Start in Life', 'Man Cannot Live by Bread Alone' and 'Is That All There Is?' here is a chance to share the secrets of the Dead, to celebrate their wisdom, to learn from their mistakes, and to marvel at their bad taste in clothes.

"The man who is not dead still has a chance."
