I have yet to get a straight answer from any guy person when asked "Why would anybody want to tape a duck?"

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Richard Gere and the gerbil, vis-a-vis duct tape.

Shuttle Commmander: Houston, we are prepared for spacewalk, but need authorization for repair of a loose tether.
Mission Control: Roger, Commander. Safety pin stores are at full inventory, should be no problem.
SC: We were thinking of twist ties, Mission Control.
MC: That's a negative, Commander. Twist ties are reserved for docking only.
SC: Roger, Mission Control. Safety pins will do the job if we can have authorization for chewing gum backup.
MC: You are authorized for chewing gum deployment, Commander.
SC: Thank you, Mission Control. Commencing repair. Over.
MC: ....
SC: Mission Control, do you copy?
MC: ....
SC: Mission Control, please acknowledge repair commencement
*Kicks radio*
MC: We copy, Commander. Proceed.

am not surprised... a few years ago there was a Hubble fix-it mission where the astronauts used Duct Tape and alligator clips to repair part of the telescope (alligators in space... AHHHHHH!!!!).

am also swooning at the image WoosterGirl put into my head. I love Richard Dean Anderson. Thanks Wooster, I needed a visual image to boost my productivity at work today.
This must be the same brand of Duct tape they used in 24.

As Red Green calls it, Duct Tape is the handyman's secret weapon. Another related Red Green quote is "Carpe Ductum" - Seize the tape.
Maybe that's why there are Canadians in the Shuttle program - to provide duct tape expertise.

I guess someone decided talk of duct tape sent the wrong message. The article no longer mentions it.
