Oh those Poor Little Geckoes (maybe you prefer Geckos)...

...must be thinking "Oh my achin' feet". I mean, could you just imagine holding 700 pounds of weight to a smooth surfaced wall with your feet? Truth is, it is not really gecko feet that can do that but a new product, called Geckskin, that kind of duplicates the adherent properties of gecko feet. Read about it here: http://www.umass.edu/loop/content/cnn-money-names-geckskin-top-science-breakthrough-2012.

Thanks and a hat tip to LIHS member Deb Hoppe for this one.

All the best,
Glenn B
