Maybe he is far from being a scientist. But you're not a 'good' one either.

A true scientist leaves space for doubts. That is the only way he/she can expand his/her knowledge bank.

When I came across the 'quack' info, my first line of reasoning was 'How does the duck make its quack?' That was before research and confirmation; Not just condemning outright with no in-depth analysis.
now this is a scientist

There are so many wrong entries that makes me doubt the entire list.

Turritopsis dorhnii is not Hydra. Yet, it is immortal.
Just one example.

He meant it start and end with the same letter. Which in the case of europe it is "e".

North America and South America... The name of the continent is not America, so where is the justification for this?

Research first pls.


Claim: A duck's quack doesn't echo, and nobody knows why. Status: False. Analysis: Please note that you won't find this claim made in any scientific journal or textbook. You will find it repeated in such questionable venues as email trivia lists, "true facts" Twitter feeds, Facebook memes and fruit drink bottle caps — reason enough for skepticism right there. The obvious logical question — the one neither asked nor answered by folks who tout this absurd factoid — is: Why wouldn't a duck's quack echo? Continue Reading Below What could possibly be so unique about the sound a duck makes, and how it makes it, that it's exempt from the physical laws that apply to every other such sound, e.g., a dog's bark, a cat's meow, a turkey's gobble, a cow's moo, or a lamb's bleat? The obvious logical answer is: nothing. Nor does anyone who makes this claim about ducks' quacks ever attempt to explain how it could be. I do, of course, realize that there are those for whom sound logic alone isn't enough. For their benefit, acoustical engineers have empirically demonstrated that a duck's quack does, in fact, echo. See Also: Was the Flush Toilet Invented by a Man Named Crapper? They have also ventured a few explanations as to how beliefs to the contrary might have arisen in the first place — for example, the fact that ducks aren't typically found near sound-reflecting surfaces, or that perhaps ducks quack too quietly to generate an easily audible echo outdoors. In any case, using an echo chamber and standard recording equipment, engineers have successfully captured the echo of a duck's quack .

False Fact: Elephants are the only mammal that can’t jump First of all, just so you know, it is true that adult elephants can’t jump – if by jumping we mean the state of having no feet on the ground at the same time after propelling oneself from a stationary position. But contrary to the popular myth that it is is the only mammal that can’t, it is joined by a few others. Firstly, the sloth is unable to jump which suits its lazy lifestyle rather well. Also, rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses also cannot jump, though unlike elephants, when they run it is possible for them to have all four feet off the ground. 6
