In 1998, Max Sherman, Iain Walker, APS members and scientists with Lawrence Berkley National Labratory proved that Duct Tape is great for everything from tailpipes to sofa springs. From research projects to book subjects. From attaching ceiling light fixtures, to reupholstering furniture....... everything, that is, but sealing ducts. Yes, of all the adhesive substances known to heating-ducts, one of the least trustworthy is Duct Tape. To view articles about their discoveries, look below. So, "Anti-Duct Tape" ppl, your theory of "duct tape used for clothing (etc.) being degrading to it's noble original purpose" is just plain dumb, and it's original purpose was proved defective years ago. It doesn't do a bit of good at it's original purpose, and it has been losing it's good reputation ever since....... That is, it was losing reput until creative and ingenious persons (such as ourselves, the Duct Tape Foreverers) began using it for a more worthy and noble purpose. A purpose it has served faithfully ever since. While gaining back it's reputation as an all-but- one-purpose tape, as well as acquiring a new fame as a fashion trend. Ask anybody, it's uses abound. Just don't use it for your heat ducts. So in closing, i'd like to say, Joey and Co., your poems (etc.) about duct tape's new uses being degrading and stuff like that is pure and total bolonga.
