"Dear physicists,
I've heard about your Spider-Man (note the hyphen) suit, and I just wanted to let you know that if you actually do pull this off in my lifetime, I will totally forgive you for the fact that it's 2007 and I don't have a personal jetpack yet.
Until the Four Fundamental Forces battle the Mole Man, make mine science!
Your Fan,
Russ"
