Or, as a friend asked, when I explained that people were being told to stock up on duct tape and plastic wrap in order to seal off a room in the event of a biological attack : How are they supposed to breath? Speaking of duct tape, I recently had occasion to fix a pair of winter gloves with the stuff. I've never actually been able to not lose a pair of gloves before the stitching started to go until now and I just took it on faith that all those other people with duct tape on their gloves knew what they were doing. Apparently they don't because duct tape gets really fucking cold, really fucking fast; I might as well just go outside and stick my fingers in a glass of water.
