I'm afraid this announcement was released a bit early. It should have been announced on April 1.

Sometimes I'm so interested in what's going on with UHH that I don't get out of my chair to go to the bathroom, so maybe those sox would be good for me. :D

I drink about 3 large cups of coffee a day. At my age, I may be able to power Dallas. Those cups are airplane coffee: drink one, P-51.

Forget it. I'm not peeing in my socks. I'll pee in your Cheerios, but not my socks!

Similar to the Fremen's still suits in Dune except their boots recycle urine to drinkable water.

Great idea for desert travelers.
