Ode to Duct Tape

Oh, Duct Tape. How I love you. You are strong, versatile... sure, a little sticky. But still, who could begrudge you a little stickiness when you accomplish so much?

I saw a picture this week of the Discovery crew and the wall of gadgets and gizmos and buttons behind them. Amidst all that was something oddly familiar... a little shiny... was that?... it IS! It's duct tape! I wish I could find the picture to show you, but it proves what I've known for years:

"Duct tape is like the force: It has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together." - Carl Zwanzig
