        <description><![CDATA[dontbestupid- OK, apparently I did skip that last paragraph. Oops!In answer to your query: yes, I did go to college- which is why I start all my sentences with capital letters. So I lose the reading award, and you lose the writing award. Don't be stupid...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ddferreri, seriously?  what makes you think this is funded by &quot;private educational funds&quot;??  did you not read the last paragraph that said the research is funded by the government?  99.999% of research like this is funded by external sources, not by tuition dollars.  did you not go to college?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[OK- but if &quot;The defense, intel &amp; law enforcement applications are obvious&quot;, then let them fund the research, not deeply indebted and struggling college students. This lab is funded by tuition, not the pentagon. Using private educational funds to further military technology is wrong, and I'm certain that the millions of parents paying for their kid's college education would agree.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The defense, intel &amp; law enforcement applications are obvious.  If the surface tension of water is inadequate what can be accomplished with &quot;doped&quot; water or another liquid altogether?  Or a combination of surface tension &amp; suction?  (There's video on YouTube of a robot that can climb walls but I don't believe the developer has revealed the mechanism it uses to make it stay on walls)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Seriously- THIS is what the lab at Cornell is working on?? Obviously they've run out of ideas on how to p*ss away tuition dollars. Other than thieves- I can't think of anyone who would really benefit from this. &quot;Robots could use it to stick to ceilings or walls&quot;... Wow- you KNOW something is useless when THAT is touted as a possible benefit.The French &quot;Spiderman&quot; who is constantly climbing skyscrapers always has a group of cops waiting for him at the top, so that isn't it... C'mon Cornell, put away the comic books and work on something useful!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Problem is you would be providing a force (Hanging from the device) in line with the wall or perpendicular to the suction's greatest strength.To use their glass slide analogy anyone who has had to seperate two glass plates that are stuck together this way knows thay slide freely past each other.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Even though I might not trust it with my life, it might be an easier way to climb when you are protected by a rope. Climbing a rope by itself just isn't a natural or efficient process for most people. Being able to &quot;crawl&quot; up a wall while protected by a rope might be more efficient.]]></description>
