This is not true! There is an Oak tree in front of my office that I personally planted about 15 years ago as a 3' tall 1/2" sapling.
Guess what. It made acorns this year for the first time! Lots and lots of them in fact.

The Discovery Channel show "Mythbusters" debunked the duck echo. They do indeed echo. At least the ones they tested.

Yeah I knew that was bogus when I read it. Have doubts about a couple others also. The donkey one I have researched before and found to be untrue. Nobody out there keeping donkey related death tallies.
