    Not sure how you'd listen to it on cans mind?
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        The only thing they are useful for is as an indication of whether a lady is aht on't pull.
        Nah. They make your legs look better, and help with calf muscle definition (not in a good way, but, still).

        I wouldn't be seen dead flerping about the office in a pair of flats, frankly.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              They do their little bit to stop so much of the female anatomy heading south with age. And for that they deserve a mention.

                    So they get you to buy these things as they mean you don't have to touch the "dirty germ ridden" soap dispenser pump. Surely you only touch the pump to dispense soap to disinfect your hands, killing any germs you may have inadvertenly picked up by touching the pump in the first place!
                    Most soap doesn't kill germs.
