“Then she calloused and hardened those toes into durable, tough ‘nobs’ which gave primal man a good, tenacious grip on the ground.
“Since Nature makes no mistakes, we made no mistake when we copied her and invented the ‘Nobby’ Tread. Tough, resilient callouses that grip the ground with all the tenacity of Adamite toes. . .” [Ad copy]
[Note: The term “Adamite ancestors” in the ad likely refers to descendants of Adam, as in Adam and Eve from the Bible. However, the term also has a more specific historical context. The Adamites believed they had regained the primeval innocence of Adam and Eve before the Fall. They practiced nudism during their religious assemblies, rejecting marriage and other social norms, which they saw as unnecessary in their state of regained purity. This sect was often considered heretical by mainstream Christian authorities.]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54004884213_699beaae6d_q.jpg "Wed, 2024-09-18 11:15 - “Nature makes no mistakes in her ‘inventions.’ Among the million or so things she ‘invented,’ were feet for our Adamite ancestors to walk on – and toes to make walking sure.

Islamic Redevelopment
Juxtapose this against yesterday’s demo of the house on Polk Street:
Al-Shabab, an armed group fighting transitional government and Ethiopian forces in Somalia, is desecrating religious shrines in the south of the country, Al Jazeera has learned.
The ancient graves of clerics and other prominent people are among holy sites being targeted by the armed group in the port city of Kismayo. Al-Shabab took control of Somalia's third-largest city about four months ago and quickly announced it would not tolerate anything it deemed un-Islamic. Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Adow said Kismayo's Roman Catholic church was torn down just days after they seized power through bloody fighting.
"The 60-year-old church had not been used for nearly 20 years and not a single Christian lives in the city - but that was not a good enough reason for the militias to spare the building, he said."
