Can I be a real party pooper and debunk a couple of those for you? Why thank you.

A cow can be lead downstairs. Our old dairy used to have stairs out of it down to ground level from a height of around four feet - the cows happily walked the four steps down.

Apparently a duck's quack doesn't echo because the noise trails off at such a frequency that it acts as its own self-canceller. I don't know how accurate that is though, I've not tested it like the cow one.

Consider yourself educated, or confused... I'm not sure which myself
