    For real. I was going to post about the shoe phone thing too. I think the reason we don't have shoe phones is that you'd have to put a solid roll cage in your shoes so the electronics don't get crushed, so walking would be uncomfortable. Secondly, nothing like putting a dirty shoe into your ear. Still it'd rule to see people's reactions to it. *inspector gadget ring tone plays*, *you pull your shoe off and start talking into it*: Priceless.
