The Flu Season is Here.  Take Every Precaution.

Elena N. Bodnar was foolin' around putting her bra on her partner's face* when she came up with the idea for the 'Emergency Bra,' which doubles as a face mask, just in case you don't have your respirator handy when disaster strikes. The EBra can be ordered for $29.99, or you can upgrade to the RAD Emergency Bra: now your boobs can quickly tell you if a 'dirty bomb' went off nearby!  The real kind of dirty bomb, you know, with actual radiation levels in the air - - not the one you were thinking of.

The site notes "Because the Emergency Bra masks can be securely fixed to the head, it frees a survivor’s hands to keep balance while running and removing objects on the way out of danger." No word on whether there's an increased risk of pregnancy.

Guys may be saying, "Hey, what about us?"  Not to worry.  She's got two, so why not share one?

And really, once you strap that thing on so your hands are free, what are you going to do with them?

If that doesn't comfort you enough, 'cuz maybe you don't want to fork out $29.99 for all of your girlfriends, you're in luck!  Dr. Bodnar (who actually won the Ig Nobel Prize for her invention) is working on a solution for men.


I hate to think what that might be.

* I totally made up that part about her foolin' around.  I was just wondering, "where might she have come up with the inspiration for this?"
