Paper has been folded more than 7 times....with mechanical help

A duck's quack DOES echo........it does so on the EXACT frequency as the original echo and is thus hard to detect (See the show Mythbusters)

I seen those episodes. :lol: Gotta love Mythbusters. ;)

Why was a duck's echo picked as opposed to anything else that makes noise? That is the burning question. :lol:

don't be concerned if you don't keep your toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet; the amount of airborne particles that can get on it is so small it's nothing to worry about. I think it's less than 5%.

I heard that on "MYTHBUSTERS"
