Okay, maybe I shouldn't laugh at this,
but I did.

I laughed really really hard.

Hey, this isn't about "abuse".
This is all about "safety".

This baby sitter is also a firm believer in the use of Poo Gone, uh, Goo Gone. Somethin' like that.

duck tape is duct tape....The reason they call it duck tape is because the mascot is a duck....
Now for duct-tape fun facts (yes, I know too many weird things about duct-tape)
1) I made a batman mask out of duct-tape because in highschool we had class competitions and a snowday pushed duct-tape clothes day onto superhero day, so I did both...
2) this brand does a scholarship competition for seniors who go to prom wearing outfits they made out of duct-tape....(I didn't do this, but one of my friends almost did, she just didn't have the time)
3) glow-in-the-dark duct-tape exists..... (I may have used it when on the tech crew for a musical in highschool, lots of weird things happen behind the scenes)
4) duct-tape could be the solution for the window problem in Melita's next post....:p

History of Duck Tape®

Duct tape has adhered itself so well to American culture that it's become much more than a roll of tape. It's an enduring symbol of all in this world that is functional.

So how did this sticky wonder come about? It was World War II and there was a need for a strong, flexible, durable, waterproof tape that could seal canisters, repair cracked windows, repair trucks and help the war effort in general. Permacell, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, stepped up to this challenge.

Using medical tape as a base, they applied two new technologies. Polycoat adhesives gave the tape its unshakable stick and polyethylene coating allowed them to laminate the tape to a cloth backing, making it extremely strong and flexible. The resulting tape was nicknamed "Duck Tape" for its ability to repel water, while ripping easily into strips for fast convenient use.

After the war the tape was put to the more civilian use of holding ducts together. So the product changed from a nameless army green tape to the familiar gray duct tape.

Thirty years later, Jack Kahl, former CEO of Manco, Inc., changed the name of the product to Duck Tape® and put ‘Manco T. Duck’ on the Duck Tape® logo, giving personality to a commodity product. Manco, Inc. also began to shrink-wrap and label the product, making it easier to stack for retailers, and easier to distinguish different grades for customers.

Now, over 50 years after its invention, Duck® tape is sold in more than 20 colors and is touted by its followers for having a nearly endless amount of uses. What will happen to Duck Tape®? What advancements in Duck Tape® technology will be made? Only time will tell.

We actually have an annual regatta held here in which the boats are primarily made from Duct Tape. Sometimes the tape holds plywood together, somewhat resembling a boat--- some times it is used just to bind a bunch of plastic milk jugs together to make a giant raft.

I need to clean up this mess before it gets way out of hand.

Duct tape is used to repair and install duct work.

Duck tape is used for everything else.

That is Redneck country law! We teach that in Kindergarten.
