At the very first Alpha release on march 11th, the release date had been forecasted to October 2007, and then shifted to the end of the year with the second Beta.
Despite this, the promises for the fourth version are quite interesting and maybe deserve a "stay tuned"."

Ahh i like ur thinking... I've been going with the up the bum no babies approach. But i could kill two birds with one stone, while enlarging her breast size i could also get a little butler (well in a couple of years anyways... u know when hes old enough to pull a cart) to carry my beer around. Also as another bonus i'd get the governments cash bonus for having a baby... to get more beer for him to pull around!! *Tents Fingers* Excellent

From the story: The reason that conventional tape cannot be reused is because the adhesive forms permanent cracks when peeled from a surface. While these tiny cracks allow tape to be removed, they also render it useless. But a team of scientists, led by Abhijit Majumder at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, India, discovered that the adhesive on the toe pads of tree frogs and crickets contain microscopic channels that prevent cracking when they are peeled from a surface."
