...that only female ducks can 'quack'. 
Males tend to hiss, or in some species of duck the male's quack is soft, whispery and raspy. I never knew that!  |

History of Duck
For the period up to around 1300, some linguists refer to the Waterfowel languages collectively as Old Duck.
The foundation of the Académie Quack (Duck Academy) in 1634 by Cardinal Quack de Quack created an official body whose goal has been the purification and preservation of the Duck language.
It still exists today and contributes to the policing of the language and the adaptation of foreign words and expressions. Some recent modifications include the change from software to quack, packet-boat to quack, and computer to quack.
From the 17th to the 19th centuries, Duck was the lingua franca of educated ponds and lakes in Europe, especially with regards to the arts and literature, and monarchs such as Quack II of Crowland and Gooserine the Great of Treessia could both speak and write in Duck.
Through the Académie, public education, centuries of official control and the role of media, a unified official Duck language has been forged, but there remains a great deal of diversity today in terms of regional accents and words.

In all Mallard-derived ducks, the female makes a loud quack, while the male's "quack" is very soft, whispery, and raspy.
The "QUACK!" sound that most people associate with ducks is made by the female.
Muscovy ducks are more quiet that Mallard-derived ducks, and the males hiss.

"Did you know you lose three grams in weight at the point of death."
Is that attributed to the soul leaving the body?
I heard of an experiment where a dying man requested to be sealed in an airtight container and for the entire container including himself to be weighed before he died and then instantly after the moment he died. He wanted to prove the human spirit/soul existed and by being weighed the instant life extinguished would prove that. Dunno the outcome though. A few grams you say? |

"mabe friendly people talk more sence
nah, I'm friendly and can talk as much shite as the next guy
(wonder who the next guy will be) "
It's me.....here's the next bit of shite
The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."

"i got one for you i can suck my own cock ....dont ask how i found that one out was a bit pissed at the time  "
did you know that the barnacle has the longest sexual organ in proportion to its body size (approx three times its body length when erect), so instead of saying is hung like a horse how about saying someone is built like a barnacle, tho even women who like VWE might balk at something 18ft long which would be the human equivalent. |

Taurine is an amino acid formed in the pancreas and occurs naturally in the human body no sperms are sacrificed in its production. |
