[ale] [TOTALLY OT!] duct tape Porsche

[Lightner, Jeff]

Years ago while working nights we had a foreign co-worker.   One night
another co-worker said something about "duct tape" which obviously was
heard by the foreign worker as "duck tape" and he asked about it
obviously perplexed and imagining the worst use of such a product.   I
started going on about how awful it was to see the poor little ducks
waddling and quacking in distress once they were taped.   He probably
wouldn't have caught on if the other co-worker hadn't burst out
laughing.

This has NOTHING to do with Linux systems but the dedication level is
similar. As I have a 924 turbo in my driveway, I can attest to the fun
of driving this type of car.
 
LOADS OF FUN!
 
So this die-hard recreated the shape of a GT3 out of pvc pipe and duct
tape. It's powered by pedals and seats two. Very impressive!
