Actually, if you look at the etymology of the word, you'll see that Duck Tape is actually correct.

It is called "Duck" tape, because it is a waterproof tape that succesfully kept water out of ammo cases. Also, it's made from cotton duck.

Duct tape is popular, but still wrong.

In essence,
DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK!!!

Actually, both terms are considered correct.

At least, for people who know what they're talking about : P.

Also, I'm assuming the history channel has good sources.

The infinite dwarf theorem states that a dwarf pumping magma through a magma river for an infinite amount of time will almost always result in a much better fortress.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

 The only thing magma cannot solve is a complete lack of any magma anywhere.  Sadly, we're still a few releases away from being able to import barrels of magma.  (And knowing how Dwarves think, the merchants would bring it in WOODEN barrels.  Which wold be hilarious, but not very useful.)

 On that note, I really need to find an area with both lava and lignite/bituminous coal.  It would be interesting to see how grand a mine fire I could start.

Magma solves all problems.

If Magma doesn't solve it, it's not a problem.

If Magma solved it, it was a problem.

If Magma kills you, you were the problem.

Every problem solved.

It is difficult to find words to describe how absolutely incredible that is.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

I like this. The definition of a problem: Something that can be overcome by magma. The definition of something that is not a problem: something that cannot.

So, a roomful of +ice sculptures+ is a big problem, while a horde of Adamantine Golems is not.

Given that the one kind of tape you do not want to use on ducts is duct tape...

Magma and water.

Like duct tape, magma occasionally needs a little bit of help.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

The solution to your problem is magma. Just because you cannot actually get the solution does not mean it wouldn't work.

I think the solution to that is to mine out the entire planet and make a dwarven starship, then go find a world that does have magma.

I have been trying to find out what the collective noun for a group of adamantine golems is for so long now.

Thanks PTTG.
