Nicola Pugno, a professor of structural engineering at the Polytechnic University in Turin, Italy, has an idea: He wants to use carbon nano-tubes that adhere to surfaces to create a real Spider-man suit.
"A replication of the characteristics of the gecko or spider feet would enable the development of a self-cleaning, superadhesive and releasable hierarchical material and, with the conjunction of large invisible cables, of a preliminary Spider-Man suit," Pugno wrote in a paper.
"We found that a man can be supported by a transparent cable with a cross section of 1 cm squared and feasibly, with spider material gloves and boots, could remain attached even to a ceiling."

Pffffffffff. Silly scientist. "IF I CAN COME UP WITH SOME BULLSHIT RELATED TO A POPULAR MOVIE RIGHT NOW, SURELY I'LL GET SOME MORE FUNDING"!
He's Italian. Fuck Italian scientsts. All they do is like, try to improve sausage, and scooters.
Scooters are an Italian stereotype, right? I don't know.

Don't forget that Italians also gave us Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Maserattis cars. As well as Ducatti motorcycles.

I'd take being Sicilian over being Canadian or a hockey fan any day of the week and twice on Domenica.

Syd's just upset because he hasn't been able to break the Canadian market with the website and has to rely on the United Arab Emirates to maintain his alexa rating.
What he doesn't tell you is that excluding the US, Canada has at least double the number of Sydlexians that any other coutry has.

Knyte, that was awesome.
Also, Canada was a natural progression of the thread based off of past posts.

Yeah, I know. But, I've been patiently waiting for a thread to get off topic so I could use the flash, but strangely enough, everyone has been pretty good lately.
Carry on, you anti-canadian bastards.
Just know that my friends will be watching you.

Four shirtless dudes, a complete douche, and a tubby guy in a jacket.
Watch out for canada people. They'll sick their homosexuals on ya.
And to bomberman, I think people make fun of canada because they're basically harmless. Now, if you make fun of Mexico, there's merit there. Cause the place is a shithole. But canada. What can you have against em?
Damn you canadian bastards and your...SNOW! And err... mounties. And....ummm... sasquach. yeah.
