Have you heard the Digi ad on radio lately? There's the sound of duck quacking, followed by 3 echoes of the quack.
If you're familiar with the Internet, you've probably received forwarded emails listing some strange "facts", like...
Pigs cannot look up towards the sky.
It is physically impossible to lick your elbow.
One of the statements I remember distinctly was that a duck's quack does not echo. As this wasn't the first time I was hearing such a claim, I thought it was true.
Getting back to the Digi, if a duck's quack does not echo, that would mean that Digi's advertising was politically incorrect? Right?
Wrong. It seems Digi's advertising arm is as good as ever. Apparently a duck's quack does produce an echo. Read here.
With that settled... back to work.

So that means all those forwarded e-ails we've been reading is all baloney? Crap, I also believed that duck quacks had no echo, which did not seem to make sense but if someone bothered to sit down and write those e-mails then I guess they really wanted to tell the world some facts. Oh well, I guess that why it's called spam.
Here's a more informed link for those of you who are interested in the technicalities of the duck's quack...
