I remember growing up, my dad would bring home “Gun Tape” which was essentially, GREEN Duct tape.

I’ve seen it fix everything from plumbing to automobiles.

@evil todd: Snopes says it is not an urban legend and snopes is a website dedicated to killing urban legends. A simple snopes search is much more affective than a simple google search apparently when it comes to urban legend discussions.

No one “died” from the duct tape deal that the DHS suggested. The people that died did have a room sealed with duct tape, but the had a coal-fired heater that literally sucked the air from the room they were in. So it was not just a room sealed with duct tape. It also happened in the city of Kfar Kassem, in Isreal. Do you think they listen to our DHS? Please do NOT pass on urban legends like that. A simple google search would’ve been a good thing for you to have done.

@James Smith: I think Johnson & Johnson, the company that originally created duct tape, might argue with you on that one.

This is total crap. It came in silver, not green and was not used in WWII to waterproof ammunition cases. It is silver and called duct tape because it was originally used at joints of heating and cooling DUCTwaork to stop air leaks that reduced the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems.

Try doing some actual research and use some logic before you post such stupid stuff.
