Who'da thunk it! A ducks quack really does echo! :P

Yes, the BBC has reported on this earth shattering debate... does a ducks quack echo or not?

Hey Else, you know what happens when ducks fly upside-down?

They usually quack up.

Thanks Elsewhere! I feel so much better now!

Tell me, are they going to finally answer the question of whether the refrigerator light really goes out when you close the door?

Mike.

p.s. just kidding with you. I remember hearing something about a duck's quack not echoing before but never thought much of it until I hit this thread. Pretty cool I thought.

They called it a "contentious issue"??

Good grief!! How much did they get of taxpayers' money for the grant to study this great mystery of modern times?? It makes the Bermuda Triangle pale by comparison!!

Love, Scully

That sounded more like a python skit than a serious scientific experiment . We can always count on the brits to have these type of enormous breakthroughs in science .lol

Next they'll be trying to decide how much a wood can a woodchuck chuck.
