It's a conspiracy. I read a book where some scientists performed an examination of a deceased duck, and found that ducks shouldn't be able to float. Someone or something is doing something to make it appear that ducks are naturally bouyant. The question is... Why?

That's another thing that doesn't add up; they found that a duck's quack has many layers of meaning, like a sort of secret code. They are likely communicating in secret. The question is... What are they saying?

It's possible ducks are secret drones, sent to infiltrate society. Slowly sneak up behind a duck, and gently place a small piece of tinfoil upon its' head, and see what happens. Pic related.

Remember folks: If it looks like a duck and quacks like like a duck, then it's probably a tool of Satan!

I would, but ducks are notoriously hard to sneak up on. They've always got lookouts. Get too close, abe one of them will sound a warning quack, ruining ant attempt at covert operations.

But this just further proves that they're up to something. If they're just an innocent member of the animal kingdom, then why dl they need lookouts? They're hiding something.

Turkeys are another thing that don't add up. Ever notice how you never see any turkeys swim? It's like they've been told to keep out of the water. Obviously the ducks don't want a variable that they can't control on their home turf.

Ducks stay afloat by sitting on fish. I learned that at my mothers knee and other low joints.

Ever noticed how there aren't any ducks mentioned in the Bible? Suspicious. Like they were omitted or something.

If one were to look at writings that didn't make it into the bible, you'd find something the ducks don't want you to see. I guarantee it.

The reason ducks stay afloat is complicated. There is a special gland that produces oil back near the duck's tail. As the duck preens itself, the oil is spread out over it's feathers and coats them making them waterproof. If you were to dip or pour a degreaser on the duck, it would remove the oil and the duck would drown.

Because the feathers are waterproof, they can trap air and this also helps to keep the duck afloat. When the duck dives under for food, the air is squeezed from the feathers. Also, the duck has air sacs (lungs) that it empties before diving. When it has caught the fish or whatever it is after, it kicks back to the surface. As it's head breaks the surface, it takes a deep breath and as the lungs fill up, it is jerked to the surface. A quick ruffle of the feathers and it is back to normal, floating on the surface.

Thus ducks may be recyclable and used to run our cars in the future.

So, ducks are going to find themselves in control of our automobile use in the future. Coincidence? I think not.

I do. They used to test if people were witches by tossing them in a lake. If they floated, they were witches. damnlol
