I saw a documented test once - they strung tins of baked beans on a rope. At 10 metres - nothing. 20 metres - tin was dented. 30 metres - tin was very badly dented. At 40 metres, the tin was crushed beyond recognition.

 

What a waste of baked beans. :shrug:

These two were disproved recently on Mythbusters.

 

The toothbrush one showed that the was "backgound" levels of bacteria from the toilt in pretty much everything in the bathroom. The toothbrushes were no better or worse no matter how close they were to the toilet.

 

The duck one is strange. The quack does echo but the waveform of the echo looks exactly like the original quack, so when you look at a recording of a duck quack waveform the echo is very difficult to separate out, but it is there.
