"Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
"...

"Too much blood on my hands, it's trickling away with my sanity
I've got too much blood on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much blood on my hands and it's trickling away from me
Too much blood on my hands, too much blood on my hands
Too much blood on my hands
"...

duct tape saved my life one summer at camp- i used it to:

- hang mosquito netting
- hold my cot together
- reattach the lid of my trunk
- hold together one of my mountain boots- and it was waterproof too!
- threaten obnoxious campers... (oh how i wanted to! muahaha!)

ahh duct tape... an ode of praise to thee!

If someone has $15 .. why the fark would they spend the time and expense of making a duct tape wallet .. pick it up at the dollar store and save the $8 in material /time

Because...

First of all someone had to sit there and figure out *how* to make a good duct tape wallet. Then they had to sit there and type out and make figures to tell others the way to make a duct tape wallet. Then some suit had to sit at 3M and say "gee, what should we use our webspace for? I'm going to look thru all the different ideas people have till I find something completely fucking ridiculous and then I'm gonna hire someone to turn all the figures and text into HTML and put it up on our website."

There is a serious problem with time distribution in our society... all the wrong fucking people have time!

I could have cured cancer with my 3 closest friends if we had that much time and energy and money to waste!

Treatments: For Warts, the Duct Tape Cure
By JOHN O'NEIL

An article being published today adds one more item to the list of uses for duct tape. Now, it turns out, it helps get rid of warts.

The recommended technique does not involve ripping, and in fact was investigated by Dr. Dean R. Focht III and colleagues at the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash., as a less painful alternative to the practice of briefly freezing warts, which are most common in children.

In the study, published in The Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, Dr. Focht found that warts disappeared for 85 percent — 22 of 26 children and young adults treated with duct tape — compared with 60 percent of a similar group treated with cold.

The duct tape was cut to fit over the wart, Dr. Focht said. Once a week, the tape was removed and replaced after the wart was rasped clean with an emery board or pumice stone.

Dr. Focht said he believed the tape worked in the same way that most other wart treatments work — by irritating the skin, thereby stimulating an immune system response that wiped out the viral infection that had caused the wart.

He said that children with warts should see their doctors to make sure the growths are actually warts.

After that, he said, simply waiting for the wart to disappear is one option. But if the parents want to treat it, he said, duct tape "is a great, simple option."
