I have - but no scanner.

I could copy the story verbatim if anyone wants - I'm sure Greedo would love it :blush:

I take it there is a heavy level of sarcasm in this. Go on type it out!!

Right - here we go

"Isn't it wonderful that women have two breasts, not just one?" inventor Dr Elena Bodnar asked a press conference at Harvard University. "This means that when a woman wears my bra-mask, she can save not only her own life, but also the life of a nearby man of her choice"
"The brilliance of my idea is that it is very simple - it's a brassiere that can be turned instantly into a pair of protective face masks. To use it in an emergency, the wearer unsnaps the bra from under her shirt, breaks it in two, and puts one cup over her mouth. Because each cup has hooks on its side, the strap can be wrapped around the head and hooked to the cup. An experienced user can don the mask in mere seconds, and give the spare cup to someone else, to help them breathe. I first thought of the idea while treating victims of the Chernobyl disaster, when I was a medical student in the Ukraine, but there are thousands of other uses for the bra-mask, during natural disasters such as fires and dust storms, or during a terrorist attack, or a swine flu outbreak.The bra-mask is a lifesaver, and my only hope is that eventually all women will wear one" (Chicago Tribune 29/10/9)

This is where theclaud tells me she meant a different story, as I recover from my typing-induced RSI :blush:

The best thing (apart from the "man of her choice" thing) is the idea of an "experienced user" of emergency bra-masks. I suppose Greedo might be the closest thing to that...

"The man of her choice" is genius

I love the idea of a woman in the middle of a terrorist gas attack frantically scanning all the nearby men looking for her ideal man as everyone slowly dies (except her of course, with her bra-mask)

Kind of like super-speed dating
 
Next, seperating sports undies for men. Who will you save in the middle of your ten mile run and will you give them the front or back?

Watched Horizon last night. Thought it was all right, seems a bit silly saying Horizon was old stuff or the same topics from other programmes as that's what Horizon is.

What the four part series or the how long was a piece of string? The latter was a very good programme although much less about him than the others.
The four parter, I think - the one about the history of mathematics, which brought in a lot of stuff about Middle Eastern and East European mathematicians.

I'm a sucker for these programmes on higher maths and astrophyisics, if they are well presented. I'm not sure why, because I can only just keep all the balls in the air for the duration of the programme. I like being left with the residual wonder.
