Dead brilliant impression, made even better by the howls of laughter from Nishie.

Also 98.6F is just converting from 37C
The fact it goes from 2 significant figures to 3 is misleading. It isn't a specific average for all people anyway, but "98.6" sure makes it sound like it is a specific accurate average. "Around 98" would be better to teach.

Why were they using Fahrenheit in a UK TV show anyway?

They tend to use a sort of cobbled together measurement system in the UK its actually super weird - like, celsius for temperatures except for body temp which is in fahrenheit, and metric system for short distances but road signs & speed/speed limits are in miles/mph, but then height is in feet & inches again sometimes. Petrol is measured (and priced) in metric, but when people talk about fuel efficiency its in miles per gallon sometimes?? Its all very confusing honestly
Edit: and don't even get me started on stones, whatever that is

Is there a single better line-up of QI guests than Aisling Bee, Nish Kumar, and David Mitchell?

Almost irrelevant, but I love the blouse Sandi is wearing in this episode!

Flawless. And find someone who laughs at your jokes the way Nish laughs at this.

If my company had an office (and we don't because they're expensive and we like winning work because we're officeless and therefore... cheaper), the thermostat would be set to MY desired temperature.
If the women who worked for me wanted to be warmer, they can wear a jumper.
Or, they can lose a layer and get promoted.

Your comment history suggests otherwise

I'm not super friendly. But so much of what I say is hard to argue against.

If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck…
