"We were very surprised," said Juan Escobar. "The power you could get from just peeling tape was enormous."

...."enormous" being many, many times less than the power required to peel the tape. :hmm:

This may be a false memory but I seem to remeber someone saying if you peel sellotape in a dark room you can see flashes from it.

Or was it that sellotape is called durex in Oz?:D

Yes, it will say "DO NOT USE IN OUTER SPACE" :doh:

Produces some very interesting cosmology theories as well, such as that x-rays originated during the big bang when the sticky tape holding the original singularity together ripped apart. Which leads to the fact that the current universe started simply because God used a poor-quality brand of sticky tape in an effort to keep it together :p

Just in case I'm going to wear a lead pot on my head while wrapping Xmas presents this year. :know:
