#1 Steam is about 1600 times the volume of the water it came from, so even duct tape won't fix that boiler!

Well, maybe it will, but you should use at least two layers...

#2 call me picky, but it drives me crazy when people call it "duck tape" and insist that's what it is. I ask: "for what? broken ducks?"

#4 Frank, perhaps a visit to the fashions at this site will tell you why Duck Tape brand duct tape is the one high schoolers everywhere ask for. No wonder we think it's duck tape, the commercial product most often found at crime scenes.

What's that? "Twiki" from Buck Rogers asking about some birds he just saw?

#6 Mrs. Davis, that site frightens me. There's an entire page of uses for Duck Tape on animals. It includes this bit that the Marquis de Sade would be proud of:

"I use Duck(r) Tape to tape the teats on my dairy cows. It keeps the teats from getting bruised..."
