He said you can't touch it with your bare hands or the oils on your skin will cover the hairs and make them more slippery. You need a very clean surface for it to work, so climbing walls isn't much of a possibility at this point.

And to all the none-believers, most building glass is 6"+ thick, unlike the 1" or less thickness of house glass. You need it to be thick to withstand high altitude pressure.

Then they can clean my windows and spy on my neighbours and clean my neighbours windows.

Also, this will probably improve my crystal ball juggling skillz.

Isn't part of what makes it easy for geckos and spiders to stick to things the fact that they all weigh two ounces?
