Introducing, the gas mask bra. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something like this comes along. A brassiere that converts quickly into a gas mask.
The IgNobel Public Health prize went to Elena Bodnar of Hinsdale, Illinois and colleagues who designed and patented a bra that can be quickly converted into a pair of gas masks, one for the brassiere wearer and one to be given to some needy bystander.
I didn’t see the product but the idea is relative to the times we are living in today.
That’s ridiculous…how do people get research funding for crazy projects like this. Public Health Award? Really? What about the people who do real research and invent real lifesaving technologies…
