Bought some more black socks today. They are supposed to wick water away form my feet when i exercise so my feet don't get all sweaty. However, my wife says she heard or read something that says black socks have some sort of die in them that it bad for you and you should not wear them to exercise. Come on, really? You got to be kidding me! Why would they make black socks that poison you? Then again why do they produce cigarettes? It is a cruel world.
