Re: the more you know

I have seen this in "Mythbusters" (a TV show is a great reference I know ) and the people who tested it before were wrong in their conclusion. The sound waves of the echo are too similiar to the the sound waves of the original Quack sound so they did not recognize them in the first place.

i love mythbusters!!

Re: the more you know

that must have been one shitty ass fold then. what constitutes a quality fold or even a shitty fold for that matter? did he not crease said fold?

oh yeah, and:

This phrase was coined many centuries ago when women used bees' wax on
their faces to smooth the skin. If they sat too close to the fire,
without the protection of a winged-back chair to block the heat from
their faces, the wax would start to melt. At times it would be noticed
that one of the women would be staring at another so she would say,
"mind your own beeswax." If a woman would smile with bees' wax on her face it would crack. Hence, the phrase, "to crack a smile."
