Funny. Sucks that Americans that are self-employed cannot even afford hospitals, because medical insurance is so expensive here. Even though camera gear is cheaper, doesn't mean other things are.

It's really duct tape, though...for anyone that didn't know.

You go to a hardware store, and look for "DUCK Tape". You'll find it. Yes, that's Duck, not duct.

It is really duct tape, but I like that there's the other brand. ^_^

Their duck even looks like he has been repaired like "What"...perhaps a snowflake fell on him too. http://www.duckproducts.com/

My understanding was that the tape was originally named "Duck tape" due to it's ability to repel water, the main reason it was designed for World War II.

Post-war it was being used mainly on Duct work so now the name is "Duct Tape".

Tamato, tomato.

Anyone else wondering why the duck has a camera? What's the purpose of that?
