At least some of those are not facts but myths.

A ducks quack don't echo? Yes it does.

Some interesting ones but I soon got to one that is a myth (a duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why) so started to doubt some of the others too- but I'll have a look at some more later

If you want to know whether a duck's quack echoes or not, you simply need to place it in an echo chamber with some recording equipment. Who would do that? The University of Salford, of course ;-)

Yup, I wondered about the famous 'duck quack / echo' interface - which is patent nonsense.

Q quack is a sound - all sounds echo - simples.
