⏱️ 5 min read

Overview

The No Such Thing As A Fish team shares their favorite facts from the past week, including listener submissions. Topics range from ancient trade routes and Stonehenge, to unusual sports family connections, Canadian storm chip traditions, unfortunate animal incidents, and historical quirks about famous figures and laws.

Stonehenge and the A303 Ancient Trade Route

The team discusses a fascinating fact about the relationship between Stonehenge and the modern A303 road. Rather than the road being built near the ancient monument, it turns out that Stonehenge was actually built close to what is now the A303, which follows an ancient trade route that has been in use for thousands of years. This reverses the common assumption about their relationship, though the exact timing is difficult to verify since Stonehenge was built about 5,000 years ago and early trade routes were simply chalk paths along ridges.

  • The A303 follows an ancient trade route that has been in use for thousands of years, predating or coinciding with Stonehenge's construction
  • Stonehenge was built approximately 5,000 years ago
  • It's difficult to determine exactly when a trade route was first used since they initially were just chalk paths along ridges
  • The team jokes that Stonehenge might have been a service station or roadside attraction for the trade route
" The A303 was not built close to Stonehenge. Stonehenge was built close to the A303. "

Father-Son Sports Duos and Family Teams

The episode explores an unprecedented occurrence in ice hockey where the Swindon Wildcats featured not one but two father-son duos playing on the same roster in the same year. This leads to a broader discussion about family members playing together in various sports, including a remarkable example from women's football where a mother provided an assist for her daughter to score a goal.

  • Swindon Wildcats ice hockey team had two father-son duos on the same roster, which has never happened before
  • Gordie Howe and his son played together in hockey in 1979, but having two such duos is unique
  • In women's football, Hazana Parnell and her daughter Ramaya Osborne played together for Hensford in the FA Cup
  • The mother crossed the ball for her daughter to score, with the daughter saying 'we're both so connected. I see her visions and she can see mine'
" we're both so connected. I see her visions and she can see mine. "
