Richard Dean Anderson has endorsed laws to regulate Swiss Army knives and duck tape. Those things are dangerous!

It's called duct tape you know, genius.

Not so fast.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk

uct_tape#Duck_tape_in_the_lead:

"The first name for duct tape was "duck". During World War II, the U.S. military needed waterproof tape to keep moisture out of ammunition cases. They enlisted the Johnson & Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as duck tape (like water off a duck's back)."

True or false, I don't know, but—you know—could be.
