My dad sent me one of those did you know presentations where you have a bunch of interesting facts.
Three that i found interesting and funny. The word kangaroo comes from kan ghu ru which means we don't understand in aboriginal. This was the answer that the English received when they asked for the name of that animal. The word [censored] comes from Fornication under the consent of the king (F.U.C.K). Those were the days. And lastly a ducks quack has no echo, nobody knows why. |

[/ QUOTE ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(season_1) [ QUOTE ] Does a Duck's Quack Echo? This myth originated in lists of "Random Facts" distributed over the Internet. Myth statement Status Notes A duck's quack does not echo. Busted 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. [/ QUOTE ] |

I'm pretty sure your word origin of [censored] is wrong, too.

i think the kangaroo one is the only one close to true
then again i heard it years and years ago, i read it in some fact book when i was a kid. and they said it was aboriginal for "i don't know" rather than i don't understand or whatever. so could be true but could be bogus! |
