In summary, the conversation discusses the need for a thread dedicated to discussing feats of superhuman strength and feet. One person shares their feet smell like roses, while another mentions a study about college students chewing their toenails and big toe cuticles. The conversation ends with someone sharing their niece's ceramic art and their own ability to walk on their tip toes for a long distance.

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.

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