Loving these anatomically correct knee-socks -- they remind me of Grade Six Hallowe'en skeleton costumes. Link (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    The bottom of the sock appears to have organs on it. Are these pressure points for acu(puncture|pressure)?

    These socks – and more stuff like them can be found for less @ Anatomical Chart Co. Here’s a link to their Halloween page:

    (I don’t work for ACC – but we buy a lot of skeletons & bones from them for Halloween. They’re great!)

    it seems there is a “reflexology” map on the sock bottom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexology I doubt print is precise enough, though. nevertheless, it could work well as a “first aid”. mail SHIFT+2 jakubsafar dot cz

    The other post seems to have been deleted, so I thought I’d post the comment I wanted to make until someone else made the (exact!) same comment there, but I see not here.

    Sock Dreams sells a few different “anatomy themed” socks, and they do free shipping.
    You can find all of them in the Halloween category (http://www.sockdreams.com/_shop/pages/socks_cat_CategoryID_110.php) for around 13$/pair but my favorite is this Skeleton Over The Knee (http://www.sockdreams.com/_shop/pages/socks_detail_ProductID_1028.php) which is only $12 :)

    I love these socks, I used to wear them. I was
    pretty comical sometimes. The sillier they were
    the better.
