Boy do I remember!  I have thought about it for years!
I'm 38 now and remember going to the store in the 50's and looking
at my feet through it until my parents would wisely drag me away.
I always figure that it's just a matter of time before
I have some wierd growth on one of my toes!  It does worry me
somewhat - I wonder if there are any statistics out there on
cancer of the foot associated with those things.
