Given the expense of the CGI, the magnitude of the marketing effort and the blockbuster-y goodness of the first two Spidey movies, it seems simply impossible to overdo Spidey-3 hype. That makes me remiss in not more actively trolling for Spidey news. Apologies. But here's an item that smells supsiciously like a hoax: a scientist in Italy has suggested the ways that industrial designers might approach building a sticky suit that would allow you and me to scale walls like Spidey.
I'll post his description of his concept, hoping that some of the smarty-pants Wired readers will explain to me what it means, and maybe even reassure me that Spidey suit is not such a far-fetched concept:
Also, please note this emerging spidey science (spideyology?) doesn't actually mimic the attributes of spiders. Instead, it's based on geckos, which apparently have super-adhesive feet. Who knew? And that opens the door to another franchise! Look out, here comes the Gecko-Man!
