Did you say WIKI?

Where's the link?

I also heard that a mormon pioneer invented WD40 and duct tape to keep those wagons "rollin', rollin', rollin".

From the WD40 web site: In 1953, a fledgling company called Rocket Chemical Company and its staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry, in a small lab in San Diego, California.

From the duct tape web site: Adhesive tape (specifically masking tape) was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Co. (3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division.

I am sure they are both lds companies and the ideas really came around 1830 or so. (roll eyes)
