Article: On the feet beat.(foot physiology)

Hold it right there, barefoot boy. Officer Tarsus here, on foot patrol. D'ja ever think about yer Feet? Ya got just 26 bones down there to carry the whole rest a yer body. So ya gotta take care of 'em with strong shoes with lotsa arch support. Lissen up to these other foot pointers and a foot poem, 'n I'll let; ya off with a warnin'. Take it; away, professor.

Thank you Officer Tarsus. First some foot facts:

Your thickest skin is on the soles of your feet.

Flies have a sticky glue-like substance on their feet to walk upside down without failing off of things.

Before rulers were invented, people used their feet to measure things.
