An inventor from Colorado has created the world's first fart-proof underwear.
Buck Weimer says his airtight knickers have a replaceable charcoal filter to remove bad gas before it escapes. The undies, called Under-Ease, are on sale over the internet.
Buck, from Pueblo, said he thought up his invention after his wife 'let go a bomb' in bed one night. Buck, 62, and Arlene, 57, suffer from Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel syndrome.
In both men and women's styles, the underwear, made from a soft, airtight, nylon-type fabric, is designed for people with chronic flatulence. Elastic is sewn around the waist and both legs.
The removable filter - which looks similar to the shoulder pads placed in women's clothing - is made of charcoal sandwiched between two layers of Australian sheep's wool.
Buck says the charcoal filter isn't too bulky but could capture the bad-smelling gas and allow the non-smelling gas - hydrogen and oxygen - to pass through.
It was developed from gas masks worn by coal miners, reports the Denver Post.
They come as boxer shorts for men and panties for women and sell for $24.95 (£18). Replacement filters cost about £7. They are sold with the motto: "Wear them for the ones you love."
The Weimars say flatulence is still a touchy subject for most people. Almost every sale has come via their site.
most men would find themselves in divorce court for going on the record like that that they invented something because their "wife let go a bomb in bed one night".
Brush up on your clue-solving skills. The annual Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt starts Sunday, Jan. 21.
The hunt, a St. Paul tradition since 1952, challenges readers to solve daily clues and be the first to find a medallion hidden on public land in Ramsey County. This year's winner could walk away with $10,000, plus $1,200 in groceries from Cub Foods.
A new clue will be published daily through Thursday, Feb. 1, unless the medallion is found before that date. Newspapers with the next day's clue will be available beginning at about 11:30 p.m. each night in the lobby of the Pioneer Press' downtown headquarters at 345 Cedar Street, St. Paul.
TwinCities.com will host the official Treasure Hunt Web site. Clues will be posted online by midnight each day of the hunt.
I just missed a week of work with the flu but our sick time and vacation is one in the same. So even though I'm approved to have the hunt off, I don't have the PTO :frown:
Now to work on my boss to get it off unpaid somehow...
one is that now when I see Jesus name posted in the Cooler I SOMEHOW correlate it with THX! ::slams head on desk:: gotta get that outa my head- once things are in my head they don't seem to leave easily!!! aaaaarrrrggg!!!
secondly, I just had a dream last night with Jake, golfing, some guy in debt. I felt like I was being drawn into a financial scam. weird. Jake was trying to get me to write checks and loan this guy money off of my credit cards. The coolerest part of the dream though was the golf course club house, where this guy who needed the money lived, had the most amazing view of downtown Minneapolis. I just couldn't believe it!
If you're really bored, or wanna see how good your spotting skills are, this site is kinda interesting. Currently I'm ranking in the top 25% of participants :grin:
