No i didnt try to lick my elbow (as i tried it before, first time i saw this........ years and years ago ) ...... but it IS physically possible for a very small minority of the population to do it as i watched them go on that tv program...

duck quacks do echo by the way, just as every sound in the world does - the fact of the matter is, the average quack is pretty quiet and ducks are rarely found in locations where you theres chance of getting a good echo off any sound - and would you ever be in a position to test it if you found a duck there? you'd probably have to catch a duck, take it to some echoey place, and try to goad it into quacking.

useless fact: most people who read the line "a ducks quack does not echo, and no-one knows why" will take it at face value as truth, as the subject line of the email contains the word "facts", even without any evidence to back it up whatsoever. which really should be a cause for concern....!
