    Duck tape is more correctly referred to as "duct tape," it's original and more correct name. It was originally developed for the sole purpose of repairing ducts.

    Eventually, the "duct tape" became slurred into "duck tape," the name several people know it by today. One popular brand of duct tape has even picked up on that and is "Duck Tape" brand duct tape.

    Quack!

    I think Duct tape became 'duck' tape because duct sounds so much like duck.

    I understand what you mean though, ducks aren't even involved with Duct tape in any way. My friend actually owns a roll of duct tape in his garage, with the phrase 'shut the duck up' on it :/

    I imagine that theirs is a humorous philosophy, and also an entrepreneurial one. Besides that, you misapprehend the purpose of this product. It isn't for holding feathers on, it is for taping ducks together and, more importantly, their beaks shut. No one wants to listen to a duck philosophize. They tend to be impertinent.

    For the checklist, atheism only skill the shortcoming of a theory in a god or gods. particularly user-friendly. No underlying philosophy is implied, so no "philosophy" of atheism ought to be invented. babies are certainly born atheists, by way of fact babies lack a theory in a god or gods. it is not until eventually a minimum of a pair of years down the line that youngsters advance a theory in a god or gods, if somebody teaches and promotes one in all those theory.
