Polders are pools, often environmentally important and fragile. A minimally invasive way to cross them, would be a pair of sealed inflatable trousers, with weighted boots so you could not tip over, like a freshwater fishing bob. And, you would have either paddles to move with, or... a POLE!-- pfperry, Jul 13 2002 This is already Baked, as a Chindogu.-- 8th of 7, Jul 13 2002 8th of 7, do you have a reference for this as a Chindogu? It strikes me as being well on the practical side of the 1/2bakery range, and therby not chindogu at all. Of course, the Michelin Man may have beat me to it.(thinks: why not Michelin *Woman*? like those fertility godesses?)-- pfperry, Jul 13 2002 <mind in gutter> What if your pants already have a pole? </mind in gutter>-- Cedar Park, Jan 17 2003 *mumbles* ...if you need to live in a polder you're not much of a species anyway.-- Madcat, Jul 24 2003 halfbakery
