QUOTE: Originally posted by miniwyo I had a friend try that once, but *GASP* it didn't work and then he asks me "why didnt that work?" i just said "Dude, think about it. You have a little piece of tape in a hole that is leaking air at 40psi while you are driving it." i sometimes seriously worry about the intellegence of some of my friends.

Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 13, 2004 11:24 PM Here is a classic train story concerning ductape. One day I was assigned to a local with a single assigned freshly painted Conrail GP38. As I got on the front step to head out up the lead to put our train together I thought something was odd about the pilot of the unit, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Later as I was looking down while standing on the pilot I realized that it was crooked. Obviously the unit had been involved in a minor collision in the past. As I looked closer I noticed the 27 pin MU connector was at an odd angle. The base of it had been ductaped to the pilot. The really hilarious thing was that whomever had painted the unit had painted over several inches of the ductape without repairing the MU connector properly... We had a good chuckle over that...

Isn't it a simple analogy for USA transportation planning in general?

Reply jeaton Member sinceSeptember 2002 From: Rockton, IL 4,821 posts Posted by jeaton on Monday, June 14, 2004 11:32 AM You shouldn't be making fun of duct tape. A few years back an NPR reporter for "All Things Considered" interviewed the leader of the Northern Minnesota Indian Tribe that is the leading producer of duct tape harvested from the duct tree. Seems that there were big problems, as I recall, caused by a growing demand for the extremely rare colors other than silver. I think there was also a broblem with demands to stop genetic research undertaken to produce a wider variety of colors. All of this was causing a great deal of stress on on a culture that had engaged in this work from pre-Columbian times. I don't remember what year, but I am certain it was an April 1st broadcast.
