they must give the engineers at sony some paid free time.

Freakin cool!

:lol: waste of battery power, resources and effort ... but it'll sell, and you could really freak your cat out with it.

If it were the iRolly it would sell, but Sony lacks the religious adherents.

No more sake at Sony engineer planning meetings. I'm sure that is actually prototyping for the Sony robot overlord of our future.

Hey, look, it's almost life-size, too.

And then there's this.

that's +1 genius, but I don't have the shoes that should go with them.

Are they sock sandals or sandal socks?

sandal socks

I think you're wrong, BigV, and here's why:

They are not socks made for wearing under sandals. They are socks made to look like sandles with socks underneath.

But that means they are, primarily, socks. Within the category of socks, they are modified as being sandal-like.

In English, the chief category goes at the end, and modifiers get stacked in front. I wear blue pants, not pants blue.

I think these are sandal socks.

Or sandal-look socks.

Or maybe we should just call them "nerd feet" and be done with it.

We will have to agree to disagree. :lol:

In product, ingredient lists, we in the US know the first ingredient is the main component.

The most important role for a sock to be is to be a sock that conforms to your sock needs. Oh. You're wearing sandles? These socks will be virtually unnoticeable.

:p
