[QUOTE=Small Hen] Saw this one on QI and didn’t get it: \*Why did lion get lost? Because jungle is massive. \* [/QUOTE] “Jungle is massive” is a line from a song featured on the Ali G Indahouse soundtrack. Not being so up on rave culture, I don’t know if massive was an adjective relating to jungle before it was put into that song. Jungle is a kind of techno/dance music with a very fast beat. Wikipedia seems to think it’s the same as [drum and bass](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_and_bass), which I wasn’t aware of. ETA: Oh, and what’s QI? ---

[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.] What’s the square root of 69? Eight-something. [/QUOTE] I like it. Of course, there’s an extra layer of humour there for speakers of Australian English (where “root” is slang for sexual intercourse). ---

> [@](#): > > **bellrungbookshut-candlesnuffed** ETA: Oh, and what’s QI? QI: Quite Interesting is an English comedy quiz show, hosted by Stephen Fry. I used to watch it on Youtube, but sadly, many of the episodes have been removed. It is one of the funniest TV shows I have ever watched. ---
