Forbes has a nice piece on the history and usefulness of duct tape as a tool. I couldn’t resist picking this up on the Duct Tape Marketing blog.

And a round-up of some other useful duct tape links:
• The Duck Tape Club – lots of fun stuff from Henkel
• The Duct Tape Guys – over 11 books on duct tape use
• The Duct Tape Festival – a 3 day celebration of duct tape in Avon, OH – runs over Father’s Day weekend
• Duck Brand Prom Scholarship Contest – each year Henkel gives away scholarships for the best prom outfit made from duct tape.
• History of Duck Tape – a nice downloadable history.
• Duct Tape Doom 3 mod – a little add on to a video game that allows you to tape a flashlight on your weapons
