    So, I read "beasts" as "breasts" and proceeded to spend 12 minutes trying to figure out how they looked as such. -_- Needless to say there is NO eye-candy in this office. #papershoes

    @Curves: Phew, I was starting to fear I was coming down with a case of titty-madness.

    Sweet shoes though!

    Is it bad that I first read that as "humping paper breasts?" #papershoes

    @Josh K.: Not as bad as the fact that I read it 4 times and STILL see humping breasts. #papershoes

    As much as I love shoes, I dont like these. And it hurts me NOT to like shoes.

    I also see NO humping or breasts here. Sad, sad day. #papershoes

    @Curves: I like the idea but not the aesthetic design they've done. I'm a big fan of shoes myself, at least from an observer standpoint... but I must concur, these aren't very sexy or appealing. Nevertheless, hats off to the paper folder who managed to figure this one out. #papershoes

    @Curves: I think they're hot as hell, and I'm really picky when it comes to shoe design. They'd look a lot better if someone was wearing them. #papershoes

    @PopandLocke: I dont care for how they look and it would be hard to walk with all those angles jutting out. It doesnt fit into the locomotion of the way women walk in high heels.

    You know, THE walk. #papershoes

    So, rock still beats paper... and generally we walk on substances made from or similar to rock, right? This already seems like kind of a Bad Idea, and that's before contemplating the implications of rain and puddles... #papershoes

    @negated: has star powah: Oh, please.. a star commenter can't even play R-P-S?

    Rock smashes Scissors
    Scissors cut Paper
    Paper wraps Rock.

    Got it now?

    @Synthfilker: Is that how you play it?
    We used to always stab people with the scissers, hit them with the rock, and paper always lost because nobody really cared about papercuts when you have puncture wounds and internal hemorrhaging to deal with... #papershoes

    @negated: has star powah: Actually, I quit playing simple games like that about 40 years ago...

    Though if we'd played like you described, "paper" would always win - as an arrest warrant. #papershoes

    I guess this says more about me than it does about the picture, but the first thing that came to my mind was Origami porn. #papershoes

    @Kaiser-Machead: Actually, it says a lot about our culture. It could just have easily been a shot from an Origami nature documentary. In today's day and age, every natural reproductive act can be construed as porn. Where do you think all those cute little paper swans come from? They're not just lovingly crafted by a supreme being. They're the result of a tender moment shared by... wait, no, in this case, it is the supreme being thing. Nevermind. #papershoes

    Err... load-bearing capability? Internal support structures? Just a design/concept?
