It is possible to lick your elbow! :p haha! I tried it over summer with some friends! They were amazed to see I could actually do it! But I can, and not the inside of my elbow! The very tip! My friends took a picture of me doing it and sent it to their youth group (they had a contest f impossible things to see if they were actually possible).

And, from Guinness World Records: "Elbow Licking. Contrary to popular urban legend, it is quite possible for some people to lick their own elbow".

And ducks' quacks do echo, the only problem is that they are rarely found in areas where an echo is possible.

Snopes.com might have a comment on a few of the rest as well.
