# Apparantly, a duck's quack DOES make an echo...
... just our puny human ears can't hear them. Dogs probably can though.
In other news: Do you think I'd suit a beret?

# no, a duck's quack does echo and you can hear it,
it's just a huge urban myth that they don't.

# You see... all these things I'm led to believe.
I really must stop being so damn gullible. Cheers for the link, lovely.

# True on all counts
- not sure about the beret though. What do you intend to do with it? If you mean to wear, then I'm against it. If it's to keep your breakfast warm while you go for a pee, then yes, I should think it'd be a very good idea.

# I remember arguing with my dad about that
me: of course they bloody echo
him: but have you ever heard it
me: no
him: well, you see
me: this is complete bollocks. there's nothing special about a quack.
him: but you haven't heard one have you...

actually writing this out reminds me of the time he was banging on about the anti-elephant powder

You were asking about Neil yesterday. Anything I can help with?

# It clearly works though
right :)

I like that kind of logic.

# My old man used to go on about
anti-elephant powder as well, the bastard. Now he's old and I repeatedly get my own back by confusing the fuck out of him (not difficult to do as he has Alzheimers)

# But more importantly, should I buy a beret?
I once had an argument with my Dad because I said that I thought pink jelly babies smelt like my Grandmother.

# The only person who looked good in a beret
was Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde - most people just look stupid. I'd say only get one if it's cheap.

# Faye Dunaway? Pah.
What she'd give to look like you now...

# It's not for serious everyday wear, you understand.
It's like a classy fez. I'll put it on at a jaunty angle for bashes.
