Wasn't "Gecko Adhesion" a rock group back in the early '80's? I think I have one of their LP's lying around ...

What's an LP old man? ;)

Shalom.

"We think the result represents an important milestone in our ongoing research project to understand gecko adhesion," Only at Berkeley.... :)

It's only a matter of time before the Berkeley scientists tailor the gecko-adhesion to gerbils.

"No longer will college kids need ladders to peek in girl's dorm rooms.
"

Only lame college students have to peek in girls' dorm rooms. Real college guys get together with the girls and they both take their clothes off.

Peeking in windows is about as lame as it can get.
