Doc, It's duct tape for sealing ductwork joints:) Aside from that, place a piece on a wart and the interaction or suffocation will remove the mole in a month or so. (true)

Use duct tape to fasten Greenspans assistant's head to back of chair so it isn't so obvious when she falls asleep during his speech. PS - If I win the contest you can donate my "Befriend the Trend" subscription to Greenie - I think he needs it more than I do these days!

Use it to tape your fingers to your desk so you can't try to cover intermediate term swing trades during bogus rallies like this afternoon's.

When I was a kid we'd go camping every summer in the Sierras, (N. California), where there was lots of Manzanita, which is a shrub with extremely hard, strong wood with lots of "Y" shaped branchings. We'd use our trusty Swiss Army knives to cut ourselves some nice Ys, and make slingshots out of them by tying either huge rubber bands or, (occasionally when our friend the dentist and his family camped with us), surgical tubing onto the forked ends of the Y with fishing line. What's this got to do with duct tape? Simple. Duct tape makes the world's fastest and easiest sling-shot pouch! You just fold a piece about 2-3" long over the two parallel rubber bands, trim it a little, (scissors from the trusty Swiss Army knife), and there you have it! Strong, supple, inexpensive, and quick. No mountain boy should be without one! BTW, we never hunted anything living with our slingshots, but I could peg a soda can at 50 paces without really even trying. (: augie p.s. Out here in California the stuff is often call "Hippy Chrome" because the "flower children" used it in many creative ways, including holding the bumpers on their rusty VW buses and making home-made "Ho Chi Minh" sandals, (the duct tape was for the straps, a piece of car tire tread formed the sole). p.p.s. The stuff is known generically as "duct" tape, because of its use on heating ducts. But apparently "DUCK" tape was the correct original name for the product, which was invented by Johnson & Johnson during WWII as a water-proof adhesive for amphibious troops and such. octanecreative.com p.p.p.s. There is also a brand of duct/duck tape which is call "DUCK" tape. Here's what they say about it: Due to the heightened demand and accelerated sales of duct tape as a result of the Department of Homeland Security's recommendation to keep duct tape on-hand in preparing for a biological attack, Henkel Consumer Adhesives has increased duct tape production by 40%. In order to ensure that store supply levels are replenished, HCA is utilizing a rapid response inventory control system and working closely with retailers. duckproducts.com which is owned by henkel.com p.p.p.p.s. Duck Tape even has an online club: ducktapeclub.com p.........s. Some goofy couple got married WEARING the stuff! cerrell.com p.............s Here's a whole bunch of other stuff you can do with duck tape. p.......s. For the fashionable, there is "Extreme Duck Tape" worldofcheese.org Here is a work of art entitled "Duck Tape" thelagallery.com 101 Things to Do With Duck Tape angelfire.com
