It's a story Bostonist covered weeks ago. Wearing flip flops while walking through town gives you feet covered in fecal matter. Now, the New York press is catching on. A pair of Daily News reporters trudged through the murky streets of New York with nothing on their feet but a pair of flip flops. And the result? "The $3.50 flip-flops harbored approximately 18,100 bacteria of the five most prevalent varieties found. (Unsurprisingly, the pair that made the trip to Coney Island and stopped off in the public restroom had roughly 13,900 more bacteria.)" You don't need to be a cranky old man to add up those numbers and get the right result: Death. [Daily News, via Gothamist]

Pop quiz. What substance covers every square foot of city sidewalks? Correct. Fecal matter. If you don't believe me, try walking a dog for a week. It poops as it pleases. And dog poop is only the dash of bitters on the fecal matter cocktail that covers the streets of Boston. Bird poop. Cat poop. Rat poop. People poop. It's all there, mixing together in rainwater that can only be described as relatively pristine. And it's on the feet of everybody who walks the streets in flip flops. Those people have fecal feet, and fecal feet are bad for you.
