Now where did you find those facts out? Any references?
I dunno about the apple thing. I try to eat an apple every morning during work and I still fight to stay awake!
Well, I'm not so sure about the accuracy of all of the facts...
The only information I can find to back up the crocodile statement is on pages such as worthlessfacts.com, probably not the most reliable source.
I'll remove the duck's quack not echoing(see http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/acoustics_world/duck/duck.htm for info that looks scientific).
But go ahead and look up aglets in the dictionary. This one's staying!
