I was talking about snipers to some person, for some reason.

False....
The tearing up of a person's eyes while cutting onions is a result of a chemical reaction. Cutting the stem of an onion will release sulfurous gases. These gasses mix with the liquid in your eyes and causes a irritating reaction.

The best way to avoid any problems in cutting onions would be to not cut the bottom of the onion when you peel or cut an onion.

False
A duck's quack does echo, but do to the ressonance of quack it sounds the same as an echo.
