Real Life is Weirder than Fiction Department:
Article in yesterday's paper said an engineering research group found
that
duct tape has a variety of uses, but oddly enough, it doesn't do well at
sealing ducts.	Apparently they tried 15 or 20 different
sealers--including
several different tapes (brown package tape, masking tape, clear,
etc)--and
duct tape came in dead last, "failing consistently and completely".
