Title: A very interesting fact!
Post by: Stealth on October 10, 2002, 06:19:53 pm
the average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean everytime one unloads

just thought that was interesting.

and you wonder why the ocean is so salty :D

tell him/her, i'm sure he/she didn't know that, but it's actually true!

Parts of the above highlighted in red have been edited due to racial discrimination/stereotyping

I didn't even know duck quacks did not echo, but then again has there been a field test of this or something? (putting some ducks in a large room to see if the sound echoes off the walls :D)

Post by: Blue Lion on October 11, 2002, 01:51:20 am
I'm sure millions of dollars of goverment money were spent testing it out

:wtf: You call a large room a field test?? Do I want to know what you consider a controlled laboratory environment? A broom closet, perhaps? :wtf:

It has been tested many times, and quacks DO echo. But since most people can't be bothered checking the facts for themselves, bits of misinformation such as this keep on getting passed around.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish clearing my desk of the water I was drinking when I read the first two posts :eek:

I originally locked this thread after the first five posts or so, as soon as I saw it. Dunno who unlocked it, but I plan on finding out!
