In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra

Posted by samzenpus on from the breathing-easy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Caught in a disaster with harmful airborne particles? You'd better hope you're wearing the Emergency Bra. Simply unsnap the bright red bra, separate the cups, and slip it over your head — one cup for you, and one for your friend. Dr. Elena Bodnar won an Ig Nobel Award for the invention last year, an annual tribute to scientific research that on the surface seems goofy but is often surprisingly practical. And now Bodnar has brought the eBra to the public; purchase one online for just $29.95."

    Seriously, what is this "story" doing here? *sigh* Next thing you know, we'll see tabloidy pseudo-populist, mostly-right-wing takes on all the major news headlines, too.

    Sort of like the non-repost Apple articles where we get weekly updates on subtle nuances of the upcoming releases, another article announcing when it launched, and then weekly updates on the sales after the launch? Okay, got it.
