    		...which is why that heavy duty very sticky tape is called gaffer tape. It's used to stick all those trailing cables down on a set so that expensive stars don't get the chance to sue...

    		Not many persons apart from the Industry are familiar with the name "Gaffers Tape". AKA "Duct Tape" AKA "Duck Tape". Quack, Quack.

    How did you come to the knowledge of this term Baloo??

    		I knew it as gaffer tape before I knew about the film connection! Very useful stuff. Always got a couple of rolls of it around.
