Jesus Christ on a moped made of cheese: it's "duct" tape, not "duck" tape.

Re: Duck tape is always the answer
You're both right. I like to use the more specialized item Gaffer Tape - I did work in the audio/video business in the old days, and old habits never die. That kind of tape has similar properties to duct tape, but is generally easier to work with as its glue doesn't stick to everything everywhere, and it has the funny property of being very hard to tear along the length of the tape, but incredibly easy to tear across.

Yes. "Duck Tape" is a brand name.
