A Brief History of Duct Tape:

The reason Duct Tape was orignally called Duck Tape was that Duct Tape was first used by Allied Forces during the Second World War to patch holes in the hull of the American-built DUKW Amphibious Transport. Eventually Soldiers found out it had more uses than just sealing holes and started to use it on Supplies. Eventually Duck Tape became Duct Tape and its color was changed from Army Uniform Green to Metallic Silver when it was introduced to the Civilians Worldwide.

Vlad- actually that tape your thinking of is ebgreen tape(also capable of holding some hydrolic pumps). duck tape came from duct tape(like for air ducts(thus silver) and a brand noticed and called it duck tape(kinda like coke cola)

Why should I care about Jewbacca? I'm not Jewbaccan, so why should I give a crap if you don't care about it? It could be fascist anarchists it still change the fact that I don't own a car.
