Someone better trademark Gecko Feet quickly, or Michelle Obama will own it. (She could also trademark Tyrannosaurus-Feet Are Mine.)

This is really cool. I have admired geckos my whole life. I love when tech advances come from simply trying to copy Gd’s magical world. Well, they kind of all do, don’t they?

no matter what I do, in a month or so, the upper corners are coming off. even when I don’t drive the car! it’s aluminum to glass, so good luck lizard!;-)

Well, if they can invent an extra strength version of this stuff, maybe Rosie O’Donnell could be mounted to a wall (and left to hang).

Now, a team of polymer scientists and a biologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered exactly how the gecko does it

What do they mean these guys 'discovered' how it worked? Maybe they made the glue, but we have known for a long time how the gecko does it... its the 'hairs' on the feet being so small and so plentiful that subatomic Van der Waals forces come into play to hold the gecko to any surface it climbs on.

I guess just another example of 'journalism' now a days...

GECKO feet . . . . . . !!???

Sounds like something a podiatrist would tell a patient. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Danwilly, you have a condition called Gecko Feet. It’s currently untreatable! Have a nice day.”

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.
