they allow any old string of text. It doesn't even need an @ symbol.

Nope, I clear the cookies a couple times a day, with cclearer.

Speaking of tape creations, History Channel had a Myth Buster episode last night where the whole episode was all the things made with Duct (Duck) Tape. It was pretty cool. They lifted a full sized car with 100 strips, repaired a hole in a boat, and built a fully functional cannon which fired a 10 pound cannon ball about 150 feet. And finally they built a fully functional 15 foot sail boat out of 23 rolls with a steel frame and sailed it all over the bay. Pretty damm impressive.

Thread bump post bumps thread.
But, yeah, the duct tape stuff was awesome.

Germans call it Panzer Tape. you know there's duct tape and there's DUCT tape. We've got some MIL Sec stuff at work that would rip the balls off a brass monkey.

Some of that choice is working its way down to the masses... I was in Lowes recently and wound up getting Tough duct tape with No Residue, for those times when you don't want to tear off the tape and leave patches of grey goo.
Also of note is the availability of industrial strength Velcro™, with industrial strength adhesive. Sadly, I'm not into bondage S&M, or the possibilities would be endless. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

I'm a big fan of duct tape in theory, but find it rather unpleasant in practice. If there's a non-goo version available, I'm all for it.

This one displays an interesting geometric relationship:
The tape itself is an icosahedron (or a D20 in D&D terms) with a pyramid on each face. But stringing thread between each pyramid point creates a dodecahedron (D12).
