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. 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.

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.

My mind isn't controlled by socks, boxerbriefs maybe, but not socks.

The socks that control my mind are sweaty and have holes in them.

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