Rechargeable Boots

Fancypants writes: "ABCNews.com has posted an article about a Menlo Park, CA company that is developing boots that generate power. Imagine charging your cell phone by walking to class." Seems as if we've done a story before on shoes that generate electricity, but I sure don't see it in the archives.

    This would require everyone to get off their collective fat asses, and out of their bloody death machines and go for a walk. I suppose a similar device could be fashioned from spare parts to generate electricity whilst riding a bicycle, but that too would require getting off one's fat fucking ass.

    And don't even mention the people who won't get off their fat ass but insist on driving and talking on cell phones and nearly killing a certain computer programmer, who shall continue to remain nameless, every morning. Don't!
