26. What's up my people?
I'll be signing autographs between 3 and 5 pm today. haha :)

I'm just so glad that some news outlets chose to run both sides.
Hope that tape hurt coming off yesterday! I think I got the better end out of it - my sign didn't hurt coming down and I was able to use it as an umbrella when it started pouring. :thumbsup:

They won't be turning you into the Moran of freeperville. Unless they think you misspelled something, of course.

10. Shhh. Don't tell them that!
There are people currently being arrested for trying to bring her cups of water. They've probably got sandwiches for her in their pockets too. Because, you know, she can chew and swallow, right?

They are an extraordinarily dumb group, aren't they?

12. Give them a recuiters card
They have a right to free speech, but they need to walk their talk (I hate "walk talk" thingy but am rushed and too tired to think of another). Send them off to support the culture of life in Iraq. Or tape their noses too. I am also low on patience.

28. No, we are NOT both wrong...but ONE of us is!
DUCK is a brand name for duct tape, which was invented originally to be used to seal the joints of heating ducts.

Please look it up.

That is all.

31. Nuh uh!

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/ducttape.asp

By the by, although everyone (including us) calls that all-purpose handyman's necessity "duct tape," it is more properly styled "duck tape," which was the original name of the cloth-backed, waterproof adhesive developed for the U.S. Army to keep moisture out of ammunition cases.


Neener neener neener!

34. And furthermore....
....look at how the Duck Tape Co. lists its own Web page!

Duck Tape brand Duct Tape and More! Duck Products Home

Heheheheh.

But I will concede this...

Adhesive tape (specifically masking tape) was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Co. (3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division. Its closest predecessor was medical tape.
The original use was to keep moisture out of the ammunition cases. Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as "Duck Tape." Also, the tape was made using cotton duck - similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes. Military personnel quickly discovered that the tape was very versatile and used it to fix their guns, jeeps, aircraft, etc. After the war, the tape was used in the booming housing industry to connect heating and air conditioning duct work together.
Soon, the color was changed from Army green to silver to match the ductwork and people started to refer to duck tape as "Duct Tape." Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape weren´t far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household.
