Remember the Emergency Bra? It's the lovely brassiere that can save lives. How? When the bra is removed, the cup of the bra can be worn as a gas mask. I'm not joking. It's now available, here's how it works:
See, you take off the bra in event of emergency and then separate the cups from each other. After that, place your mouth and nose into the cup's interior and extend the bra strap over your head. Lastly, breathe normally. The peace of mind of wearing a bra that's ready for gas bombs will cost you $30.

Yes, that's Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman there with half a brassiere clamped tightly over his nose and mouth. That said, this is not some scandalous spy shot that will bequeath Bill O'Reilly's next wet dream. It's actually this:
The brassiere is one of the award-winning bits of science and invention from this year's quirky, eccentric and downright entertaining Ig Nobel Awards. These awards are, in the words of organizer Improbable Research, a celebration of achievements that "make people laugh and think." A laundry list of past "winners" from The National reads like this:
