This sounded a bit weird though:
*“We have considered producing a large amount of gecko tape, sufficient amounts to enable a student to hang out of the window of a tall building,” it said. “However it would cost too much money, and would not benefit us scientifically.” *
I dunno. There could be great scientific value in hanging students out of windows from tall buildings. Especially kindergarteners.
Dude, you’re links not working for me. If there’s a picture then it’s got to be shown!
Well, that’s pretty cool but I was sort of expecting a pint-sized Peter Parker to be hanging from the ceiling in that photo. Regardless, I’ll be queuing up right behind you to get a pair of Gecko gloves and slippers as soon as they’re commerically available.
I want a Spiderman Mask - so I can do like Jacko and go to Taco Bell or meet my Senator - incognito.
