Just on an unrelated note regarding duck (duct?) tape...I just toured a 
McDonnel Douglas Helicopter Plant and one of the guys there said that the
first place duck tape was used was on the rotors of the helicopter in the
Vietnam War, after the guerillas had shot up at the helicopter and put holes
in the blades.  Anyone know if there is any truth to this?
