He Didn't Even Need a Radioactive Spider

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Man climbs building with vacuum gloves: "Advertisement

A man has climbed up a BBC building using a pair of vacuum gloves he built himself, in a stunt for a new BBC One science show.

Inventor Jem Stansfield, the presenter of Bang Goes The Theory, used an everyday vacuum cleaner to construct the kit.

He scaled the 40m (120ft) high BBC White City building in west London, watched by hundreds of people."

Radioactive Spiders are about as rare nowadays as Hollywood making a faithful comic book movie.
