How do I become less known? It would be really cool to not be known by anyone.

So there is an average foot after all! This must mean there's also an average hand, an average nose and an average ear. Smile Two average ears, actually.

^ Ah, that's the clever bit - by making a negative of the item to be measured, the inverted foot/air boundary (or mud/air boundary as it technically has become) now compensates for the mud/ruler boundary and so the error is negated.
What?

But what about the mud/air boundary?

Sure there is, its about 12 inches.

Or about 30 centimeters.

Average foot = the sum of the length of every existing foot / the number of existing feet.

Right?

But there's no such thing as the length of a foot! First of all, there's no way to tell which particles are part of my foot and which particles are part of the air around my foot. If I can't tell which particles are part of my foot, I can't measure it. And if it's not possible to measure one foot (because it's not possible to know where the foot ends), how is it possible to calculate the sum of the length of every foot?

-> There's no such thing as an average foot.

The average foot has 250,000 sweat glands.

If that were to be true then George Lucas would have mentioned it in his Star Wars movies.

He did mention it, but someone accidentally cut it out. In Empire Strikes Back Han Solo had the line: "Let's get ourselves outta here like that one time we almost got stuck between socks on our brief visit to the galaxy made entirely of socks."


Did he happen to mention the name of it? I must have missed reading about it.

The name of the galaxy, you mean? Sock Galaxy III. (Sock Galaxies I & II are only partly made of socks.)

I wanna go there!


No you don't, the Empire is building he Deathsock there. Just a few more days on Vompatti's foot to move to the dark side, then their plan will be complete.


"...their heading for that small moon...."
"...that's no moon...that's a sock..."

Rest assured, I will never put my foot in one of their dark socks.
"These are not the socks you're looking for"


I wonder if they ever plan to invade the Earth in the form of a multinational company selling mind-controlling socks. LOL
