I guess it's a case of go with what you know. Flash back to .......Apollo 13
Courtesy of Wikipedia. N:D


NASA engineers' faith in duct tape as an emergency tool was rewarded in 1970, when the square carbon dioxide filters from Apollo 13's failed command module had to be modified to fit round receptacles in the lunar module, which was being used as a lifeboat after an explosion en route to the moon. Engineers designed a workaround using duct tape and other items on board Apollo 13, relaying directions to the spacecraft's crew. The lunar module CO2 scrubbers started working again, saving the lives of the three astronauts onboard.

Ed Smylie, one of the NASA mission control engineers who designed the scrubber modification in just two days, said later that he knew the problem was solvable when it was confirmed that duct tape was on the spacecraft: "I felt like we were home free" he said in 2005. "One thing a Southern boy will never say is 'I don't think duct tape will fix it'."

I thought duct tape was for securing the carpet around the corpse after the kinky sex goes horribly wrong? :wink:

Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the Universe together.

This statement is on my office door frame in the form of a refrigerator magnet here at work courtesy of my officemate. Generally a cool dude but would get cool points for said attachment even if he were a total *******.

A group of my friends were bored one day, so we broke out the carbon saw and cut the roof of our friend's 81 Buick Regal. We used brown duct tape around the sawed edges. Our only mistake was making his car a convertible at the end of fall. :o

Colored Duct Tape (http://ducttapesales.com/master1.cfm)- it's not just for ducts anymore!

Didn't we decide a while back when Kah was complaining about the Boy squirming during diaper changes that duct tape was the answer to keep him in one place? :lol:
