The monoliths in 2001:A Space Odyssey were supposedly von Neumann Machines [UnaBubba, Mar 02 2005]

       [DF], you'll have to take this idea to the HundrethBakery, as it is much less than half-baked.

       A more implementable idea: just make socks like children's mittens, with a string connecting the members of a pair. String goes up one trouser leg, down the other, problem solved. Plus, interesting tactile sensations as you walk.

       Basepair, if you would post yor idea, I predict a long list of anno's on how to put them on. Socks first or trousers first? How to take them of. What if you wear a skirt? Funny.   

       I bun this idea though.

       Df, who the hell is von Neuman?

       He's the poor cousin of John von Neumann. Poor, because he had to sell one of the Ns in his name. [link]
