Mis-fit made a comment in the hobbies thread that got me thinking. I like collecting totaly useless information too. Like...

The mating call of the American Alligator is a perfect pitch B-flat.

Orange is one of the only words in the english language where there are no known words that rhyme.

Tony Iommi(sp?), the guitarist for Black Sabbath during their glory days has only 3 fingers on one hand.

I have many more in there, but I can't seem to draw them out right now.

You guys got any you wish to share?
 
You mean stuff like:

Elephants can't jump, yak milk is pink, frogs shed their skin
once a week, and the hyoid bone is the only bone in humans
that doesn't articulate with any other ???
 
At the risk of having TWF drive himself crazy trying to figure out if its true and why.

A ducks quack will not echo. No one knows why.

:D
 
I still wanna know if a duck call echoes too. I guess a good one wouldn't...

I know women with more than that wrapped up in....ummmm......enhancements we'll say.
 
And as for you Mister HardScrabble, I been doing some research. One website I found listed the non-echoing quack of a duck as an urban legend. The argument being that the quack of a duck, like any other sound, is a wave, having physical properties which will rebound off any appropriate surface. I thought that was the case, but couldn't get past the specific nature of the statement.

I'll get you for this. :p
 
Good news TWF. A few years ago, a bunch of us got together for a race at Martinsville and camped at Fariestone State Park, west of Martinsville. We were right on Philpot Lake and the scenery was great. Anyway, back to the good news, one of the attendees (one of your fellow Tennesseeans from Louisville) did the impossible. As you can imagine, more than a few quaffs were imbibed and as time went on, many of us began to resonate over the lake. Of course, the most popular yell was the imfamous "Rebel Yell" which is probably still echoing throughout the nearby mountains. Anyway, Robby, as I will call him, after more than a few, few beers, did his version of a duck call. Viola! It came right back to him. Now doesn't that sound like an echo? Now you can sleep at night. :D
