Mythbusters proved that it doesn't matter where you keep your toothbrush, it will attract the same level of "stuff" no matter where. They also proved that one of the cleanest places was the toilet seat... They proved that no piece of paper, no matter how large, can be folded in half more than 7 times.

And the duck's quack? When examined by an audio-expert, it was found that the echo was "swallowed" by the original quack, due to the very similar acoustic structure between the quack and the echo. Because of this, it may be difficult to tell where the quack ends and the echo begins. Normally, a sound and its own echo have very different waveforms on an oscilloscope. As it turns out, a duck's quack and its echo have a very similar waveform. Oscilloscope analysis of a duck's quack/echo could lead someone to not "see" the echo waveform on the display, only the source waveform. In the same way, human hearing may not perceive the difference between a duck's quack and its echo due to the similarities..... BUSTED

yeah...sometimes i have too much time on my hands.
