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

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.
