In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra
 

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/...cy-remove-bra/

Caught in a disaster? 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 Ignoble 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.

"The goal of any emergency respiratory device is to achieve tight fixation and full coverage. Luckily, the wonderful design of the bra is already in the shape of a face mask and so with the addition of a few design features, the Emergency Bra enhances the efficiency of minimizing contaminated bypass air flow," explains the eBra website.

It sounds silly, but Bodnar, a Ukraine native who now lives in Chicago, started her medical career studying the effects of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster. If people had had cheap, readily available gas masks in the first hours after the disaster, she said, they may have avoided breathing in Iodine-131, which causes radiation sickness.

The bra-turned-gas masks could have also been useful during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and for women caught outside during the dust storms that recently enveloped Sydney, she said.

"You have to be prepared all the time, at any place, at any moment, and practically every woman wears a bra," she said. Her patented devices also look pretty, no different from a conventional bra, she added.

I've been walking up and down Hillsboro Blvd screaming "Gas Attack!!!".

No luck, so far.

Is "motorboating" allowed?

I suppose it is wrong that I'd kind of like to have something happen in order to be able to tell all the women I work with; "Quick, take off your bra!"

no more wrong than cutting a rotten fart just to see some titah.
sec

Well, this is definantly practical.

LMAO

Is anybody else concerned that this invention could actually contribute to more terrorism?

I think there may be room in the market for a Gas Mask/Sports Jock, too. Just in case there are some kids in the locker room who don't want to inhale.

Women are smarter than that. They'd just slip it out from under their shirt.

I don't want to see terrorism, but I'd like to see us do more civil defense drills using this equipment.

They need to be enlightened, Mr. Fax.

When you haand me one of your cups to save me... I will be your personal bra and hold them up with my hands, because I'm a team player.
