Where's the link?
I also heard that a mormon pioneer invented WD40 and duct tape to keep those wagons "rollin', rollin', rollin".
Why in #55!
Ask the RM...
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)
