To win, you have to play by the rules.

Remember, this is a HUMOR site. The sole purpose of Stump the Duct Tape Guys is to generate more of our "intelligent stupidity" brand of humor. Don’t go asking for a cure for cancer (although the proper use of duct tape could PREVENT some forms of cancer --- say, skin cancer: Go through life with your entire body duct taped to prevent exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. Or, cancers caused by smoking --- just duct tape over your mouth to prevent the introduction of cigarette smoke into your lungs.). The suggestions posted here are for entertainment purposes only (duh).

Sorry, but duct tape can’t bring anyone back from the dead. Besides, we already awarded someone a prize for that STUMP --- and we will not answer the same question twice. So, read all of the STUMPS first to make sure you aren’t duplicating a question. Also, please don’t attempt to derive humor from capitalizing on hideous atrocities like this person did.

We don't answer all stumps - but will select the ones that we consider to have the best potential for an entertaining and imaginative. Again, remember, this is a humor site.

Sorry, we are not answering any more stump questions - if you can't fine your answer on this web site or in our Stump the Duct Tape Guys book, you will have to buy a roll and figure it out for yourself.

Thanks for playing, Stump the Duct Tape Guys!


Earlier in this decade a genocide occurred in Rwanda, because of conflicts between the Hutus and the Tutsis. Millions were killed, and more suffered in unlivable conditions when they tried to escape from the country.

Now thousands upon thousands of men (and women) have been packed into the few prisons in Rwanda. There are so many residing within the walls of Kegali prison that most of them people never get a chance to walk around or stretch their limbs. Because the courts in Rwanda are so backed up with all the trials to be dealt with, and because of the exremely small number of lawyers in the country, most of the people imprisoned have no hope of ever receiving a trial, much less a fair one, and can expect to die in prison.

How can duct tape be used to ensure a speedy and fair trial for the people imprisoned in Rwanda, create more living space in Kegali prison, and prevent the atrocities of genocide from ever occuring on planet Earth again?

OK... It seems that some of you are missing the point of this "HUMOR SITE." Please phrase your questions so we are not attempting to derive humor, or win fabulous prizes, by capitalizing on hideous atrocities inflicted upon some of Earth’s less fortunate citizens, or from disease and/or death. - Duct Tape Guys
