## Trivia

* Schreiber's twitter account is @Schreiberland.
* Schreiber was born on the 28th of April 1984.
* Schreiber grew up in Hong Kong and Australia, and as such will frequently draw on his experience of these nations for his facts, and show bias towards them (such as in Australia v Mexico).
	+ Schreiber speaks Mandarin Chinese, although he once forgot how to say his own name in Mandarin, and thought the word for "raddish" was his surname (Episode 191: No Such Thing As A Cannibal Squirrel). His sister lives in Abu Dhabi, his grandmother lived in Kimberley, Western Australia, his aunt lived in Cambodia and Tibet, and his parents are hairdressers in Sydney as of Episode 55: No Such Thing As Samurai Nail Clippers.
	+ Schreiber's uncle worked in the only Holiday Inn in Tibet around the time that the Dalai Lama had to flee Tibet.
	+ Schreiber lived in Kosovo for 3 months. He now lives in Hackney, London.
	+ As a result of this, his accent can be somewhat hard to place; The Museum of Curiosity get tweets asking where he is from (as well as less pleasant tweets from fans of The Archers, which starts after Museum). Schreiber struggles to pronounce "Covent Garden" (the region of London where the QI Offices are located); he says it like co-VERN-t. He also struggles to pronounce Anna Ptaszynski's surname.
* Schreiber is married, to Fenella, and has two sons. He was engaged as of Episode 116: No Such Thing As Notting Mountain, married as of TBA, and had children as of TBA and TBA. His absence in TBA is due to his honeymoon.
	+ They honeymooned in Zanzibar.
* Schreiber was not given the middle name "Indiana" in infancy - he asked for a second middle name at the age of 12 when he moved to Australia.
* Schreiber has a reputation for presenting conspiracy theories or otherwise false information as his "fact" for the week. This is directly discussed in Episode 163: No Such Thing As Too Fast For A Fish, where Anna and Dan appeared on the podcast Judge John Hodgman, with that week's guest John Hodgman, with Anna arguing that Dan presenting his non-facts as "facts" was dangerous, as NSTAAF is a factual podcast.
	+ Schreiber's frequent use of non-facts is sometimes referenced in the running joke Dan's Notes.
* Schreiber loves The Beatles - his facts in Episode 37: No Such Thing As The Kevin Olympics, Episode 308: No Such Thing As The Land Of Flying Sheep, and Episode 334: No Such Thing As A Babysitter's Trade Union were all Beatles-related, and James Harkin's anti-Beatles fact in Episode 180: No Such Thing As Playing Snake On A Plane was chosen to annoy him.
* Schreiber also appears on the podcast and spinoff Animal Planet series "The Cryptid Factor" with actor and comedian Rhys Darby and producer Leon "Buttons" Kirkbeck.
* The Pottermore test put Schreiber in Slytherin.
* Schreiber is a 2nd dan black belt in Taekwondo.
