I heard this story this morning on public radio' s "Marketplace Morning Report" about an Alaskan bush pilot whose plane was mauled by a grizzly bear. A judicious application of duct tape was all that was needed to make the plane airworthy again. Another life changed forever by duct tape.

NPR covered a new game that seems would have great appeal to slashdot readers: Crayon Physics.
FTA ( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99080116 ):
"A new computer game went on sale this week. It's not a blockbuster like Halo or World of Warcraft. There's no first-person shooting, no sports, no guitar, no microphone. Instead, there's a crayon.
The game is Crayon Physics Deluxe. It's a simple, mesmerizing game created by a 25-year-old independent games designer from Finland named Petri Purho.
'It's a game where your crayon drawings come to life,' Purho tells NPR's Melissa Block. 'You draw stuff and your drawings behave physically correctly.As soon as you release the last button, the laws of physics are applied to your drawing.'" Check it out at http://www.crayonphysics.com/
