Feb 23 2009Wait, What?: 3M's Nuclear Grade Duct Tape
3M Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 was designed for use in nuclear power plants. Because let's face it: even nuclear power plant employees like to half-ass repair jobs. I know I feel safe.
Yes, 3M's Performance Plus Duct Tape is designed for use in nuclear power plants. It improves upon regular duct tape by working at temperatures of up to 200 degrees. It also can be removed without leaving a residue, it's waterproof, and you can easily write on it. And it's even available to laypeople for a mere $14 per roll.
Wow, we really need to get some. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?! If you answered "nuclear duct-tape my roommate to his office chair and start beating the compressed gas canister with a broomstick" then you are!

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.

Actually, I was thinking you don't need that new muffler clamp now. Or bailing wire...

@5 you actually write stuff?
I just got it... I never knew, I always scrolled past your comments because it appears to the untrained eye that it's all the same. I also have a short attention span & don't even remember what this post was about

My dad, an old Navy man, has told me since I was a kid that duct tape keeps the US Navy afloat. So I am not surprised by this at all.

Maybe Obama can use this to nig*er-rig the economy.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that secne in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was investigating problems at his nuclear power plant and when he examined the x-rays of the welds, he realized they were all copies of the same x-ray.

Actually, people working in hazmat suits have to put duct tape around the openings of the ankles and wrists to make the suit air tight.
It'd not be a surprise to me if they make one specifically for this purpose.

@18: hazmat suits... is that Jewish traditional gear or something?
