DUCK Tape...

Mr. B,

Until recently I also thought it was Duct Tape. A couple of weeks ago I saw a show on the History Channel that talked about the history of Duck tape. The show explained that it was originally designed to be a water-proof tape for sealing amunition cases for the military. It was called DUCK tape as in "water off a duck's back".

Just my useless bit of trivia for the day,
