The lady got the QI book of facts there. I would recommend it as a read.

How many commandments are in the bible?

Which QI book was this?? Amazon have two, one is a book of general ignorance and the other advanced banter...

Think I might just get both them, love the show and think they would be a good read

Shortest coastline is between Meath and Leitrim. I think it's Leitrim. Mathematically speaking though, it's a tie between Offaly, Kildare, Laois and all those other Bog Of Allen counties, since zero is shorter than Leitrim's no matter how short that is.

Correcto! Although if you think that Kilkenny's got a wee tiny coast line then there's none.

Our Nail Loney · February 22, 2009, 06:54:24 PM

S in Laois as well...

Hardy, that logic doesn't work. The shortest coastline is still a coastline. No coastline does not constitute an option for a question on the shortest coastline.

Consider the question who had the shortest reign as King of Thailand?

Using your logic it would be a tie between me and you.

You're correct Muppet, except, like Beckenbauer not starting from 'A', I wasn't using logic.
