The Very Force That Holds The Universe Together
And yet another reason why you should seriously doubt much of the "science" being reported in the media today. Whether it is the headline-grabbing headlines of starving polar bears or the screeches about carcinogenic chicken, there is much in the media today that is, shall we say, somewhat hysterical and overblown. So it is today with this report. One that is so obviously faulty in its methodology and conclusions that it simply defies reason. These researchers are completely wrong in their conclusions.
Because everyone knows that duct tape can do anything.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Duct tape does not work any better than doing nothing to cure warts in schoolchildren, Dutch researchers reported on Monday in a study that contradicts a popular theory about an easy way to get rid of the unattractive lumps.
The study of 103 children aged 4 to 12 showed the duct tape worked only slightly better than using a corn pad, a sticky cushion that does not actually touch the wart and which was considered to be a placebo.
"After 6 weeks, the warts of 8 children (16 percent) in the duct tape group and the warts of 3 children (6 percent) in the placebo group had disappeared," the researchers wrote in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
They said this difference was not statistically significant.
In addition, some of the children who wore duct tape reported itching, rashes and other effects, although none of the children who wore corn pads did.
These so-called scientists couldn't find the truth if it was stapled to their foreheads! Duct tape does it all. Just tonight my wife and I mended a pair of slippers with duct tape (that is actually a serious statement, by the way). Denying the true force in the universe will not work! When you die, scientists, you will go to a true eternal damnation.
A place with no duct tape. Woe to you.

They, obviously, do not watch “Red/Green.” And we know that duct tape is just centripital force on a handy roll. [You use centrifigal force to pull things apart. It usually comes with a handle and a sharp blade. Maybe.]
