Sticky tapes are always useful to have, but did you know they do more than just … stick? Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found out that they also have amazing properties, being able to generate enough X-rays to take an X-ray picture. The scientists explained in the journal Nature how they got confirmation that scotch tapes are indeed capable of producing X-rays.
How high were they when they thought of doing this experiment?
Deserves a Scotch toast
I almost picked up some scotch for my b-day. I forgot...
In the presence of Mark's tape, I bid a farewell to the passing memory of humanity. In the age of memory sticks, my own memory is undertaking a major transition. I plug it in and let the cloudy current of shared human existence swirl me in the uncertainty of today. Yet, memory sticks. The odd fragments of tape torn from a parcel from the past, it sticks to my hands, to my clothes, to my conscience. I look in a mirror and try to brush it off, but some left unnoticed messes up the look of my up-to-date attire. Mark notices. He patiently picks it up, the sticky remnants of the past, and reconstructs the images. Rendered in tape, the miscellaneous subjects level with one another: a teenage snapshot pairs with a goddess's head; a movie still, a group of chairs from the Louis XV epoch, a knight's armor replace one another significantly indistinguishable in the postal tape. The colors washed, emotional ties long forgotten. Like a quiet lunatic, Mark goes on collecting fragments of tape carelessly left behind after another opening of a parcel from the past, rendering images without order, like the one with echolalia who repeats the words without meaning just for the sake of sound. Sometimes I feel that Mark's images in adhesive tape stick better to my fleshed memory than their colorful, moving, or three-dimensional origins. In the age of memory sticks, when the past becomes an extinct, Mark's tapes are the fossils of cultural remnants.

One of the great mysteries of the universe.
Scotch tape smells weird. Also, I licked some and it turned sticky

The activity of an artist, to make a new world, to fashion an independent vision, is an act of pride. Khaisman's choice of medium, utilitarian packing tape subverts and mocks this pride. The tension between the image and its source, the conceit of the artist, posed against the tape previously ignorant of its value as a "medium", is the primary meaning of this work over and above the selected subject.
He looks pretty toasted. Thanks (I think)
“WHY DOES STAR JONES HAVE SCOTCH TAPE ON HER BREASTS????”
Ummmm...depilatory?
What about Biden? I think he has been abusing scotch tape for some time now. Did you see his face?
Nope. He was wearing glasses.
AlBore will be proud of me..
