In a recent b3ta newsletter, the question was asked:
How much sellotape would it take to cling to a wall like some kind of Tesco Value Spiderman?
Tonight, we find out.
Two hands.
One, two, three!
Oh.
No, just no.
Okay.
Arms and hands.
OW!
No!
Hands, arms, legs.
WOAH! No way. No, no, no.
So the white stuff is Duck Tape.
And the little purple things are my fingers losing circulation.
I was really confident about this a little while ago and suddenly I'm not.
Um. Er, er,
Legs. Legs, legs.
Okay.
Let's see if this works then.
Go!
Hang on! Push, push, push push push!
Push the legs.
OW!
No, no,
Okay, so what's going to happen is I'm going to be up there, get taped in on all four limbs,
Move one arm, tape, move the other arm, tape, and then we're going to do the spider thing.
-I am with you. -Okay.
-You with me?
-But that requires all of the people having to to climb the wall with you
-Oh god.
Okay. Hand number two.
And I'm holding! I'm going to take my right foot off-
YES!
*applause*
-Grand! Grand!
-Oooh!
-Three, two, one!
-Oooh.
So the answer is, it takes at least an entire roll of gaffer tape to stick one person up like a Tesco Value Spiderman.
And it's really, really painful.
Thanks guys.
Um, guys? Guys?
Guys?
