When I was in school people used to say if you sneezed with your eyes open your eyes would pop out or something stupid like that. So naturally, next time I felt a sneeze coming I held my eyes open to prove them all wrong.

Apparently, even though that's one of the most common 'amazing facts' that people tell each other, it's actually not true and was made up to see whether people would believe anything they read on the internet. Here's a link to where I found that out. (http://www.cracked.com/article_16241...tatistics.html)

Rubbish!

"Contrary to popular belief, a duck's quack DOES echo.

The echo is just so similar to the original quack that many people believe it doesn't echo. Nevertheless, it was proved, on the television show Mythbusters, that the duck's quack echoes."
