    At least half of these facts are untrue.

    You can sneeze with your eyes open.

    Bonobo primate society is based on sex (hetero and homo). They have sex all the time.

    Mosquitos do not have teeth. No insects have teeth. They may have tooth-like structures but that is like saying birds have teeth (they do not).

    Greek koimētērion, from koimān, to put to sleep.

    Most animals do not have brains. So what is special about a starfish?

    The assignation of identities to the kings (as well as the queens and knaves) was a temporary practice unique to French card masters that began around the mid-15th century, was not standardized for some time, and was discontinued at the end of the 18th century.
    The word kangaroo derives from the Guugu Yimidhirr word gangurru, referring to a grey kangaroo

    Binobos appear to have even more fun sexually than we do. And dolphins? Pshaw! I call shennanigans.

    Did you know echo has only one “E”? Mythbusters proved it

    The statue thing is also false. Check out “The Straight Dope”, they have taken on almost all of these questions. http://www.straightdope.com

    Really, all animals have sex for pleasure. They don’t “know” they’re trying to procreate, they only know that it feels good. You could argue that people are the only animal that has sex for any purpose other than pleasure, like sex for money, or sex that’s only intent is to make babies.

    Look out for the general ignorance section on QI with Stephen Fry

    c’mon… Republicans don’t have sex for pleasure!

  • B.Smurf Says: June 27th, 2008 at 3:54 am

    I have heard a duck’s quack echo. You have to be in the right spot with the duck midway between you and a tall building. This isn’t something you usually find in a swamp.

    Myth 2 Its strange but true. Ducks quack does not echo.
    Jon Tickle takes a Duck to the Westminster church, which is supposed to have one of the echoing halls. A furious church minister turns down his request to film inside the church. Poor Tickle, manages to find a echo(ey) London Subway. The Duck is made to walk for a while and Tickle is behind the Duck with a long-range sensitive microphone in hand. The Duck quacks and there goes its echo. So you see, ducks’ quacks do echo. And finally with a ’roast duck’ in his plate Tickle says ’’During the filming of this experiment we assure that no animals or birds were harmed’’.

    Watch it here:
