Duct Tape

Watching the back-to-back Duct Tape episode of Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. I learned a new fact: Duct tape actually used to be called "Duck Tape" (which is what many people originally thought it was due to the fact they sound so similar) due to the fact it is so water resistant, like a duck[:


here are some pictures of the episodes from Myth Busters

This is a regular car wrapped in duct tape in an attempt to bust the myth that states: enough duct tape can lift a car. This myth was declared CONFIRMED because using a crane, duct tape was enough to lift a car!


This is Jamie and Adam (two of the mythbusters) in a boat made almost entirely of duct tape! Of course without the right support the boat would collapse, but the sailboat floated and sailed just like any other sailboat and the price wasn't as expensive according to the mythbusters! This myth was declared CONFIRMED because it was able to float on water and built out of duct tape.
