Swimming Pool Surprise
Duck Quacks Don't Echo - S1 - E14
If a pool smells stongly of chlorine, is it dirtier? You may think again before diving in.
Duck Quacks Don't Echo: Season 1 - 14 Episode s
1x1 - Hovercraft Grand Prix
January 13, 2014
Seth presents a theory that is commonly debated: Is it really possible for bacteria from a flushing toilet to reach a toothbrush sitting on a bathroom counter 6 feet away? Our experiment puts the urban legend to rest once and for all (hint: the results are disturbing). Later, Tom challenges Seth and Michael to test a theory that is easier said than done: Will any of them be able to achieve the seemingly simple charge of eating six saltine crackers in a minute or less without a sip of water?
1x2 - Crushed by a Truck
January 13, 2014
Things get heavy as a two-and-a-half-ton truck makes an appearance in-studio as four ceramic coffee mugs attempt to support its entire weight. Tom's challenge of writing the number six while rotating your corresponding leg clockwise baffles everyone.
1x3 - Shrimp on a Treadmill
January 20, 2014
What happens if you give someone a virgin drink but tell them it's alcoholic? Seth tests the theory of whether drunkenness is truly in the eye of the beer-holder. Michael tests a shrimp's endurance, believing it's greater than the average human.
1x4 - Proof is in the Pudding
January 20, 2014
Seth puts the nickname "bird brain" to the test, believing that pigeons can remember human faces. We all know there's nothing like a little fun in the sun--but is your swimsuit making you...dumber? Can pudding dance--and can you dance on top of pudding?
1x5 - Mad Bulls See Red
January 27, 2014
Is it the color red that really makes a bull angry? Can you hang upside down from the ceiling fan using only glue? Can a yolk be separated from the white of an egg using only an empty plastic bottle? Hosts, Tom, Michael and Seth solve the puzzles!
1x6 - Eyelash Monsters
January 27, 2014
Tom, Michael, and Seth prove that: You can stretch a bathing cap enough for an adult to fit inside of it. There are mites that live on your eyelashes that are visible under electron microscope. People are more likely to believe statements that rhyme.
1x7 - Bubble Wrap Drop
February 3, 2014
Tom, Michael and Seth prove that: The color red enhances men's attraction to women. You can survive a 13' drop if you're wrapped in bubble wrap. Cows that are given names produce more milk than cows that aren't.
1x8 - Faster Than a Speeding Bullet
February 3, 2014
Tom, Michael and Seth prove that: A rock shot from a lawnmower can have the same force as a bullet from a 9mm handgun. You can bend a stream of water with static electricity from a balloon.
1x9 - Swearing Dulls Pain
February 17, 2014
Michael claims that swearing helps increase pain tolerance. And Seth has a test that's music to a gearhead's ears: Are Ferraris engineered to idle at the third and sixth harmonic? Tom's fact proves just how strange nature can be.
1x10 - Pigeons Beat Machines
February 17, 2014
Which is faster: Carrier pigeon or fax machine? Don't plan on the aroma of coffee getting you up in the morning--smells are unlikely to wake you in a deep sleep. The ultimate question is answered: Did the chicken or the egg come first?
1x11 - Don't Get Cold Feet
February 24, 2014
There's more truth to the saying "getting cold feet," and Tom proves how.
1x12 - Battle of the Sexes
February 24, 2014
Tom settles the age-old debate: Is it true that women are better than men at remembering directions?
1x13 - Hot Women Make Men Dumb
March 3, 2014
Is it possible that after a conversation with an attractive woman, men get ... dumber?
1x14 - Swimming Pool Surprise
March 3, 2014
If a pool smells stongly of chlorine, is it dirtier? You may think again before diving in.
