Stanford is
famous for enabling its students to expand their minds
To new
heights of knowledge leaving others far behind
Now the news
is that Stanford has developed gecko like pads to enable a person to climb
Up sheer
faces of glass or rock free from gravity’s confines
Now almost anyone
can be a spider man climbing to new heights
Why take the
elevator or stairs when you can climb up the windows outside to enjoy the
sights
Not sure
what the market for this invention will be or whether purists in rock climbing
will accept the pads
But no more
pitons and hammers pounding away on mountain faces will make the
environmentalists glad
Just the
sight of a climber with gecko like pads scaling up in silence a mountain face
Wondering if
the adhesive material will always remain firmly in place
