do i sense a scare of 'killer scotch tape' now?
soon a correlation should be released of person who uses scotch tape, and their chances of becoming sterile

 

[Master Exon]

This sounds like a terrible April Fools joke.

 

[computerninja7823]

no you are only at risk in a vacum. because the electrons are....well i know it only happens in a vacum

In other news, cancer among secretaries is on the rise...

 

[terror112]

lol. that's what I first thought.

Dear terror, you mean that the first thing that went through your head as you looked at scotch tape at the age of 3 was:

"Gosh, I bet this thing emits X-rays!" 😀

 

[Gamecase]

lol "More interestingly the scientist feel that the technology presents the possibilty of nuclear fusion." imagine a nuke built from scotch tape.... thats kinda crazzy.

So...what are scientists doing studying scotch tape in a vacuum chamber?

...maybe they're trying to steal 3M's secret!!!

 

[Grims]

Great, one more thing I can't bring on the plane.

 

[evilshuriken]

So does this mean scotch tape now stands as the king of adhesive tape, trumping the previous leader, duct tape.

 

[sonofhendrix]

no mention of the dangers of x-rays?
only happens in a vacume my ass.
its suprising that a moleculr event triggers nuclear level energy.

All this knowledge ..... wasted looking at what happends when you use tape! C'mon! Don't scientists have anything better to do? Sure it's cool they discovered something .... but it's like observing a robbery while hiding from your boss .... good you did it, but you should've have been in a position to!

 

[bounty]

that's like saying "all that knowledge wasted looking at why Radar melts chocolate"

 

[neiroatopelcc]

I'm not saying its wasted. But like the radar that happends to melt chocolade it's an accidental discovery if they're to be taken serious. People can't seriously spend 6 or more years of their youth becoming an expert in some field, just to play around with nonsense. Even if it should end up being a big discovery. If they were researching a cure for parkinson and accidently figured out the tape thing, then fine. They weren't just toying around..... I'm just glad it ain't my tax money, but I'm sure they're no more serious in denmark.
