(date)
TIL: (stuff goes here)
(Website or references)
(a short description on what it is about)

I will start:

TIL A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
I do not have a website sorry.
No one knows why but a ducks quack just cant echo, its a mystery.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: TIL (Today I Learned)

If this topic is just going to generate a list of things...it's a TBG and belongs over in the TBG forums.  If there is going to be discussion about the things...it's not.  Why don't you restructure it as a discussion about things you have learned today, rather than an attempt to generate a list?

I'm pretty sure that this information about ducks not echoing is a myth.  And the Mythbusters took it on and disproved it here.

TIL: The most common name in the world is Mohamed.
I got a website that I cannot revile
As the top already says the most common name is Mohamed, even my name has a Mohamed at the back.
