Biological warfare breaks out. Dangerous inhalants become airborne that will cause immediate risk to your health if they enter into your lungs. You’re at work when the emergency broadcast is carried by word of mouth from co-worker to co-worker. What do you do? Stop, drop, and roll? No, that’s for fire! Wait! I’ve got it. Take off you bra!
Say what?
Yes. This amazingly sexy bra that lovingly lifts your ‘girls’ each day, putting them on display to the world, doubles as an emergency gas mask!
The EBbra designed by Dr. Elena Bodnar came about after extensive study of the Chernobyl disaster where nuclear fallout and radiation killed so many after the reactor went into melt-down. The study showed that had women had access to such a simple device, many lives could have been saved. One bra provides two gas masks. One could assume that the larger the cup size, the better the coverage. Perhaps the B sizes might better accommodate children while those C cups fit adult-sized faces perfectly. Talk about a wonder bra! I always knew bras saved breasts from the ever present threat of gravity, but who knew one could save you and friend from bird flu, the common cold, radiation, Anthrax! It comes as no surprise that this brassiere won the 2009 Ig Nobel Public Health Prize.
The EBbra comes in sizes 32B to 40C. It’s available in red denoting its ‘emergency’ status. The original EBbra retails at the site for $29.99 while the RADbra (which comes with a radiation sensor in the clasp – how ‘James Bond’ is that?) runs a cool $49.99. As if the life-saving nature of the EBbra wasn’t enough, it also functions as a nursing bra AND can be converted to a strapless!
It’s sexy and smart.
On a final note, this bra (heck, any bra) can also be utilized as a weapon – the double-barrel slingshot!
Never let it be said that women aren’t prepared for anything. With one item of clothing we can nurse babies, propel rocks at lethal speed, set off that strapless ball gown to perfection, save not one, but two lives all while propping our perky puppies up to the delight and pure, unadulterated appreciation of every red-blooded, American male.
And you thought science wasn’t cool….
