Stink-free underwear

Textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo have come up with stink-free underwear. A Japanese astronaut is testing them out during his stay at the International Space Station. The line is called J-ware.

Apparently, the underwear kills bacteria, absorbs water, insulates the body and dries quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static. Ok, so why does the underwear need to absorb water? Also, why do they need to be flame-resistant? Those two points aren't working for me.

The manufacturers plan to make the underwear available to NASA and other space stations. A commercial line is also in the works.

Maybe the underwear will come in handy after a night of Mexican or East Indian food. The kid in Florida sure could have used a pair!

Go ahead and grab yourself a boob

The Japanese are famous for coming up with crazy stuff. Lately, the country has an obsession with breasts. There's B2UP Gum and there's F-cup Cookies, not to mention a whole range of beliefs in herbs and posture.

Do you remember those toy vending machine with the big claw? Well, now there's one made with boobs in it. I wonder if this machine gets you excited when it grabs one (no pun intended) and then lets it go. It'll bring back memories when you were trying to go for the fuzzy dice.

If that doesn't work for you, you can always order squeezable boobs online.
