That's a pretty cool article. I saw on TV once how this all worked, and was quite interested because I have a pair of Anoles and they love to cling onto the glass walls of my teranium. Its a pretty cool concept if you think about it.

NIKE releases their new line of Geckoes.
The Police are not pleased, it will be much
harder to corner a crock if they can run up
any wall, they suggest that a license to
wear Geckoes would be one solution.
Security personell in tall buildings are
both pleased and horrored, evacuating
will be really easy but fending off burglars
would be a problem, security has to patrol
both the inside and the outside.
