TooColdToDrive Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Coconut milk is mainly water and sugar. Anything like that can be used as a temporary plasma substitute. Also - it should be called 'blood serum' since it doesn't contain clotting factors. Interesting post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 A quack echos and if your bathroom is smaller than 6' then close the lid on your bog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendor Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 A quack echos and if your bathroom is smaller than 6' then close the lid on your bog. My toilet often sounds like Hiroshima going off, never mind a quack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 A quack is just similar to white noise, which would cancel itself out. If you go deep enough it's not identical to white noise though, so it will echo to some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 IIRC, isn't the duck quack one untrue too? This was on QI last week, and it is untrue, Mr. Fry said a scientist had put a duck in a reverberation chamber and the quack did indeed echo.

AndrewOW Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Did they also watch the hundreds/thousands/millions of other planets? I think they meant in our Solar System, but I get what you mean. Maybe with that fancy new telescope, the powers that be, may well be able to find a few others soon.
