bra sports a solar panel that can be worn around the stomach

If it's worn around the stomach she's got a serious issue with gravity...

I’ll save you the ping.

Jackie: So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin’ around in broad daylight. She’s flouting society’s conventions!

Kramer: She was flouting.

Jackie: That’s totally inappropriate. It’s lewd, vesivius, salacious, outrageous!

There are areas of the country like here in Seattle that don’t get enough sun.

So what we need is a bra that has an eletromechanical charger inside. Like the old wristwatches that would wind up just by the motion of the wearer.

So here we could utilize the bounce.

That, of course, means we would get a way better charge the more they bounce, so natural resonators need to be built in.

Now in Portland, with all the aging hippies, the bounce wouldn’t work. But they could probably do something with the swing approach.

If this sells, solar powered jock straps are next.

>Lingerie maker Triumph International, Japan, on Wednesday unveiled a ‘solar powered bra’ that can generate enough power to charge a cell phone or an iPod.

Can it be directly connected to “headlights”? Ha ha ha...

Drat! This renders my plans for coal-fired panties useless! Woe is me!

Something's lost in the translation.

Does she have to track the sun around?

[tlb]

I can hear it now, guys saying “Look at that babe, she has a pair of Intel P9 5 titahertz”

[johnny7]

“Giddy-up!”

[Waverunner]

Obviously there will be an aftermarket for other plug in electrical devices.
