Very informative...keep it up

lozenge, binge, singe, minge - all rhyme with orange. In fact you could make up an interesting sentence including all those words...

Got very serious doubts about some of the others too..

A duck's quack does echo. This urban myth was debunked years ago.

From the University of Salford web-site:-

"A duck's quack doesn't echo" is a much quoted scientific myth. In spring 2003 it was quoted on Home Truths on BBC Radio 4 and Shooting Stars on BBC 2. You can listen to our sound files on Home Truths by going to the BBC4 web site and "listening again". Recently, Salford Acoustics was the source of the story being presented in the national and international media when we proved that a duck's quack does echo as part of the British Association Festival of Science.

lozenge, binge, singe, minge  - all rhyme with orange. In fact you could make up an interesting sentence including all those words...

There was a unlucky girl whose minge,

Would frequently start to singe,

The point of fusion would hinge,

On the level of her binge,

Her partner would always winge,

drop the vodka, stick to orange.

Got very serious doubts about some of the others too..
