AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the need for a dedicated thread on feet, inspired by the existing Feats of Superhuman Strength thread. One participant humorously claims their feet smell like "roses washed by a spring rain," prompting skepticism from others regarding the plausibility of such a natural scent. There is a mention of a poll revealing that 25% of college students admit to chewing their toenails or cuticles, which some find gross. Another participant expresses admiration for the honesty of those students and shares a personal anecdote about walking on tiptoes for half a mile, linking it to feats of flexibility. Overall, the conversation blends humor with personal anecdotes while exploring the topic of feet and related quirks.

When I saw that the Feats of Superhuman Strength thread was active in S&D, it struck me that we need a thread dedicated to feets, as well.

Personally, my feet smell like roses washed by a spring rain.

I don't believe there is anything superhuman about your claim. I will submit that you washed your feet with something using that fragrance, or used a lotion of some sort. There is no scientific evidence to support that one's feet would naturally smell of "roses washed by a spring rain."
 
I read once that 25% of college students polled admitted to chewing their toenails and/or big toe cuticles. It didn't mention what their feet smelled like.

That's so flippin' gross!

Whoa. Well I give them kudos for their honesty -- and flexibility.
