The World's Strongest Glue

    Strange, the typo almost makes some kind of sense.

    I think you mean "losing".

    "Loosing" must be some weird way of "letting things out" - like: "Let loose the dogs of war"

  3. cars on a quarter? by Anonu · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I dont get this 3 cars on a quarter thing. Whats the point of using such an analogy? Would the force change if 3 cars were piled onto a surface that was 1 square meter - no....

    yeah!

    I totally concur! Not only does duct tape do the job, but it looks frikkin' awesome while doing it!

    They do make duct tape that sticks to wet surfaces and survives getting wet repeatedly. I haven't found any that isn't gummy though. Tearing easily, however, is a feature, not a bug. It's meant to tear easily, so you don't need shears to use it. Also, I have yet to meet a more durable tape available at the hardware store, and I've tried a lot of different kinds of tape.
