Technically, white and black are not colours, but shades.

And according to the same program, a duck's quack DOES echo.

Which may I add is the best program ever to come out of Sky 1!

If you like that then you'll like MythBusters on Discovery channel. It's on every weekday (well it was this week) at 10am.

Yesterday they went over all the urban myths of Coke and none of them were true. It does't kill sperm, it doesn't dissolve teeth and it doesn't clean rust off of batteries.

Oh, it does clean pennies better than clit bang however if you leave them soaking for 48 hours...

That's quite worrying.

Their fur is transparent, it reflects/refracts the white snow through its fur to make it appear camouflaged.
So, if itt stood on grass, it would appear green etc.

The rails on all American railways are exactly 4 feet 8.5 inches wide. Why?

The rails are that distance apart because thats the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English immigrants....

The English made them that size because that how wide the old tramways were....

The tramsways were made that wide because thats how wide the wheel ruts in the roads were, made by donkey carts over the years....

The carts axles were made that wide to fit the very old ruts in the old Roman roads....

The Roman chariots were made that wide to fit in the tunnels they built through hills....

The tunnels were made that wide...because that was the width of two horses bottoms!

I've heard that before, but surely the proper name for Australasia is Oceania?
