No bong from me, I was looking for Bob Holness in a radio production 6 years prior to the first film being made.

If the question had been who was the first actor then it would indeed have been a QI bong, as there was an American TV production 2 years prior starring Barry Nelson.

Over to you.

cheers.

why did the first surveyors of mount everest deliberately mispublish the data about its height?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu May 15, 2008 3:02 pm

Because they were planning on scaling K2 and wanted to be known as the people to climb the highest mountain in the world?

nope, they actually published that it was 2' taller than their data suggested

Flying Spaghetti Monster · Thu May 15, 2008 3:16 pm

ah I remember this now. It was because they measured it to an exact number (8800 metres or something like that) and didn't think anyone would believe it fell so precicely so they stuck a 2 on the end

Pretty sure FSM's right - the measured height was 29,000 feet exactly.

a tap-in for Grecian.
they miscalculated it anyway and modern science puts it at 29,029.

over to you

I'd been assuming FSM would take the next question, but as he hasn't I will ask one from the pub quiz last night (which I got) - in which country is the world's deepest canyon?
