http://www.duckproducts.com/ disagrees with you.

Seriously, do your research before you spout off whatever you *thought* you knew. It just makes you look ignorant.

While I agree with your first statement, I'm going to have to disagree with the latter. 1,420 times

Of course it is Duct Tape; but maybe he was thinking of this: http://www.duckproducts.com/products/category.asp?catID=1

It seems that you are correct. But it would appear to also have other uses.

This has been done before, as a previous post links. NOT an original idea.

True. But there is one that one bit that makes this somewhat more geek-worthy. They actually got sponsorship from the Duck tape people themselves. Not bad for a little week's hack.

There is a such thing as Duck Tape brand Duct Tape.

Duck Tape is one of the more common brands of duct tape. It's like calling facial tisue Kleenex. Besides, most building codes do not allow duct tape to be used on air ducts... you are supposed to use the really shiny silver stuff.

Duck Tape

Duct tape sucks on air ducts. Does not last very long at all.

3M makes DUCT tape not DUCK tape. DUCK tape is made by http://www.duckproducts.com/ in response to so many people mispronouncing the name of a product. The tape was to close gaps in DUCTS not DUCKS.

The tape was created to seal ammunition containers watertight. It was originally called Duck Tape.

It was originally developed during World War II in 1942 under the name "Duck Tape" as a waterproof sealing tape for ammunition casings. Permacel, then a division of Johnson & Johnson, used a rubber-based adhesive to help the tape resist water and a fabric backing to facilitate ripping. Because of these properties, it was also used to quickly repair military equipment, including jeeps, guns, and aircraft. Wikipedia

You really should have checked Wikipedia before making such an empathic statement.

Sadly enough, there is a brand of duct tape, complete with a fan club

It may have once been the incorrect term, and to some people (such as yourself) it still is, but I think that it's been used so often that it's become a valid term. There was even a show called 'Card Sharks'. The same way duct tape has officially become duck tape. (although the fact that the company changed the name to duck bothers me. You wouldn't tape a duck, especially with a heavy duty tape, but you would a duct.)

Don't forget the greatest invention of WWII!

'nuff said.

Two things: "DUCK" is one brand of duct tape. More importantly for this article, duct tape is not for hot air ducts or anything else that'll heat up rapidly. How hot does a firearm get?

Perhaps he is talking about Duck Tape brand Duct Tape?

• about how Duck Tape saved a poor cat's life?

He's wasting his time, you can already buy a pocket roll of duct tape in hardware stores. The last time I saw some it was in Staples. It's made by Duck brand duct tape and looks like this.

If he'd bothered to google for "pocket duct tape" he would have saved himself a lot of effort on his obsession.
