The average foot has 250,000 sweat glands.

There's no such thing as an average foot.

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 simplest way is to stand in some mailable substance, such as mud, and then measure the resultant impression, thus eliminating the problem of the air/foot boundary.
What?

But what about the mud/air boundary?

^ 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?

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.

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

I only have average feet. Is there any chance for me to become well-known?

It depends what you mean by average. Sure, you can say: "These socks are just average", but it would be absurd to say: "These are the average socks."

I would never say "these socks are just average" in front of a pair of socks, that would be hurtful and unnecessary
