Solar Power Those Headlights

Following on the heels of the Chopstick Bra and the No! Shopping Bag Bra, comes the Solar Power Bra to, you know, help your boobs generate some juice.

A waist-mounted solar panel powers a small, chest-mounted electronic billboard or any other electronic device you choose to connect.

There's also a reusable cup nestled--where else--in the bra's own cup. The whole thing aims to "stimulate" eco-awareness and give the Internet yet another glimpse at Japanese women in strange underwear.

Kick-Ass Stranded Hiker Uses Bra To Save Her Own Life

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:22:00 GMT

Last week, a woman used an undergarment to injure her eye (somehow.) Now we're hearing that on Thursday, a Colorado woman hiking in the Bavarian alps, injured in a fall and trapped on a ledge, got the attention of police and rescuers using her bra.

Jessica Bruinsma (pictued above... or not), currently training for a marathon, was hiking in Germany when she fell onto a ledge, injuring her leg and dislocating her shoulder. Luckily, miraculously, there was a supply box containing water on the ledge and Bruinsma was able to keep herself alive for seventy hours. At some point, she realized the nearby presence of a line used by the local timber company. Unfortunately, the line was out of service-- but that didn't stop Jessica. She attached her bra to it...

...the cable was only within reach because the timber transport system was out of service.
When a repairman restored the line on Thursday, the cable car started moving up the mountain and Bruinsma's bra reached the worker at the base. He knew of the missing hiker and immediately called police.

Make all the jokes you want about a 20-something female using her bra to signal German lumberjacks, but we'll just sit back in mute awe at Bruinsma's brilliance and resourcefulness. We expect this won't be the last we hear of her...

Hot or Not: 32K Boobs?

Rachel here boasts the biggest bust in Britain—a 32K! We didn't even know the human spine could withstand such weight. What would those even weigh? Did they install a few extra layers of skin with those puppies just to hold them in? Anyway, hot or not: 32K boobs?

Very NSFW photo after the jump.
