Believe it or not it was originally called 'duck' tape because it was made with a material called 'cotton duck', similar the cloth medical tape it was based on. It was originally used to seal ammunition cases to keep out moisture during WWII. The versatility of the stuff was soon learned by the soldiers and it came onto the civilian market soon after the war. The silver version came when the booming post-war construction industry used it for heating and AC applications. That is when the Duct tape name also came into use.

Ahhh... good old WWII.

We should all be thankful, because without the "War to End all Wars" we wouldn't be here on EnWorld right now killing minutes, talking about duct tape.

I don't quite know how to tell you this, HM, but the "War to End All Wars" was WWI.

 

[HolyMan]

Well it sure didn't did it.

Bears a strong resemblance to The Order of the Stick. Now back to off topic conversation. Anyone ever play Metroid Prime?

Nope. My toddlers broke my Wii, they tried to stuff 3 cds in it at once...some reason it didn't work.

If my (hypothetical) children did that, I'd feed them to the Kraken.

No, much to our shame and great suffering, it surely didn't ["end all wars," that is].

Until a man learns to live with-in himself peacefully, he will never beable to live in peace with his fellow man.

You sure it wasn't the Edition war? Cause it seems that every time someone tries to bring it up, by espousing the superiority of one of the combatants there's a /threadlock /banhammer.

I'm just grateful that the M&M 2e and M&M 3e has gotten along... cause if those two sides started warring... I'm afraid the world might blow up as soon as COSMIC powered combatants start appearing.

Oh and Superman could take out Freedom League.
