# I like this
I learnt recently that chameleons don't actually change colour to camoflage themselves.
I was a bit gutted, it's like when you found out Santa wasn't real.

# QI?
They do change colour though.

# probably, or the QI book.
Yup, but it's more mood-related.

Are there any genuine colour-changing-for-camo animals?

Ooooh, pretty chameleon:

# everything is to set up traps for Alan Davies
half the time they don't even give a right answer and often it's "facts" along the lines of "paedophiles share more genes with crabs than humans, there's no scientific evidence..." i.e. one person has claimed something so the thing that everyone knows is true might not be. For example, the chinese invented golf.

# I remember from an interview with Stephen Fry that most of the questions are sent in
The are then investigated by their team of researchers but if you'd like to back your information with fact I'd be most interested to see it.

# This is awesome
In sort of related news, some poor love's gone and chucked themselves in from on a train at Tring station, and the fuzz have closed it all off.

# Well a) If I was in Tring I'd have jumped in front of a train ages ago
and b) if the police had the power to close Tring down why didn't they do it before?!:P

# You've never been to Tring.

It's a lovely place, full of posh bastards who are obviously too upper class to pick up their dogshit.

# How do you know I haven't been to Tring!
As it happens I've just got back from there. I love the station I have to admit, no security cameras so I can quite literally get away with murder:P
