There are lots of examples of the multitude of uses for Duct Tape.
The one thing it isn't good for?
Taping ducts.

"Over a three-month period in 1998, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) researchers tested duct tape and 31 other sealants under accelerated laboratory conditions that mimicked long-term use in the home. They heated air to nearly 170 degrees and chilled it to below 55 degrees before blasting it through ducts. They baked ductwork at temperatures up to 187 degrees to simulate the oven-like conditions of a closed attic under a hot summer sun.
Of all the things they tested, only duct tape failed - and they reported it failed reliably and often quite catastrophically.

As it's been said:

"Duct tape is like The Force –
it has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the Universe together"
