Here's tax dollars hard at working proving that ducks do indeed have an echo and where the myth arose that they dont:

a small piece of paper of bonded stock (2cm x 2cm) cannot be folded eight times orthogonally. :wink:

you can try to lead a cow downstairs but they are stupidly clumsy and will fall on you if you are stupid enough to try to lead them down. the one that got up the stairs to the hay loft tried to jump as it came to the edge of the stairs, knocked me over the railing, and tumbled down breaking two of its legs and its neck. :(

i got by with just a sprained ankle, docked for the price of a milk cow out of my allowance, and a spanking for leaving the gate to the loft open. we had beef for dinner for the next couple of weeks.
