Not as silly as it sounds. Not too hard either!!

Theres an simpler option called a binoviewer which slips into the focuser and splits the light two ways to two eyepieces.

I imagine creating a true binocular telescope would be a nightmare in aligning, and you wont get true stereoscopic vision anyway as the targets we view are so far away ie no angular separation between the two halves of the scope.
