whoisalhedges just said THE. DUMBEST. THING. EVER.

[dolo amber]

He says:

"Humans did not evolve to wear shoes. The rich said "Hey, we're rich, we don't have to walk around barefoot anymore!" And then the peasants said "Holy shit, I want some shoes!"

Ok...FIRST OF ALL...shoes are the best things EVER. And to imply that humans did not *evolve* to wear shoes is just a slap in the face to Kenneth Cole, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, etc. Like humans EVOLVED to wear hoodies, ffs...:eyes:

And secondly...Dookus is not the only one who frequently talks out his ass... :P

1. Bedroom slippers rule.....

I HATE shoes. ;)

[dolo amber]

4. Erm...

If you are shod in them, let the Lord declare them SHOES!! :P:D;)

[Xipe Totec]

20. If you are shod in slippers, you are slipshod

by definition. :evilgrin:

[tk2kewl]

2. um... I'm pretty sure shoes were invented before money

[SlavesandBulldozers]

3. i think the advent of shoes predates "peasants" and "the rich"

as youll notice in this photograph from 5300 BC.

9. Dayum! That's the oldest photograph I've ever seen!

5. I donno...

I'd go barefoot 365 if it was socially acceptable, and if they didn't get cold in the winter...I guees I haven't evolved yet

[Crandor]

7. I'd wear shoes anyway.

You never know when you're going to step on a thumbtack.

6. Secondary only to boobs,

shoes are power.

[BikeWriter]

10. Yep, boobs rule. n/t

[asthmaticeog]

8. I like shoes, shoes are neat,

but I agree that we didn't evolve to wear them any more than we evolved to sit in cubicles for 8 hour stretches. (/palahniuk)

[Worst Username Ever]

13. Chuck is the man.

[JimmyJazz]

11. erm... Just a quick question, Ms. Dolo --- Who is Al Hedges????

Inquiring minds wanna know?

[nickgutierrez]

12. If there is a dumbest thing ever said...

I have no doubt that Hedges would hold that honor.

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. I'm sorry to have disparaged the names of such great shoesmiths as....

Messrs. Roo, Keds, and Sketcher. :eyes:

[LynneSin]

15. Wait and how does that beat Matcom's fist time?

Although he went in and edited it - NO FAIR!!

[matcom]

16. .

edited due to Lynne's embarrassment

[LynneSin]

19. Thank you sweetie

You know I secretly worship you even if you're into fisting first thing in the morning

:loveya:

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. I don't think I want to know about matcom's "first time."

:scared:

[freebird04]

18. Tell that to the Eskimos! n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. Hoodies are the height of clothing

[tjwmason]

22. Raises an interesting question about evolution

viz. How much of evolution is purely physical and how much is mental?

It is certainly true that humans have not physically evolved to wear shoes, but have we evolved mentally to the extent that we realise that cladding our feet can keep them warm, dry, and protect them from damage?

That said, I'm pissed off with shoes at the moment anyway, new shoes and concomitant blisters. Grrs.
