Post by: Goober5000 on November 13, 2005, 11:19:30 pm: I notice it's set somewhere around 25 degrees...

Post by: Galemp on November 13, 2005, 11:49:59 pm: That's Celsius, Goob. Room temperature's between 20 and 22.

That said, do they have actual practical ones, or are these just for show? They could be very nice to go with thermal gloves and things for really cold weather.

I was making a little joke. :(

Post by: Gortef on November 14, 2005, 09:53:30 am: Hahaha, quite a nice idea indeed :D

Post by: Martinus on November 14, 2005, 11:07:35 am: When were they ever not practical?!?

Lets see:
Stress reliever
Eye-candy
Hand warmer

If you're a woman they're doubly useful:
Allows you to entirely get your own way
You can get money simply for taking them out
Feeds the kids

A myriad of uses for all! Boobs are great.

Post by: vyper on November 14, 2005, 12:39:39 pm: Hmm, allow me to explain how this started in my head:

I searched google "define" hoping to find some idiot definition of "boobs" to mock the Google dictionary search with. The joke, however was on me. The wikipedia article on breasts is actually called "/Boobs".

:nervous:

Sounds like a plan ;)

Post by: Flipside on November 15, 2005, 03:29:18 am: Whatever floats your boat... :nervous:

:p j/k

....Anyway, back On Topic, I've had a bean-bag type thing for years that you heat up in the microwave, got it in a fishing shop iirc, they are a pretty old idea ;)

Edit : Please note, this was a hand-warmer, not a bra ;)

Of course.
Providing the attached female is not an emotional wreck or a headcase.

Post by: Grey Wolf on November 15, 2005, 02:38:41 pm: I'd think a vest version of this would be far more effective for both women and men, quite honestly.
Title: Re: Hey, those things can be practical after all!
Post by: Galemp on November 15, 2005, 03:27:34 pm: Yeah, all jokes aside, I'm agreeing with Grey Wolf. Specifically, there are certain diseases where the blood vessels in the skin contract, and if the body (especially the extremeties) aren't kept warm, severe frostbite and even gangrene can set in.
My mother has scleroderma, and she has to bundle up really tightly when it's cold. Something like this would help keep her body temperature warm, like a portable electric blanket. The medical uses far outweigh the entertainment value.

But hey, all new technological innovations come from the porn industry, right? :doubt:

Post by: Grey Wolf on November 15, 2005, 08:44:15 pm: There'd still be a risk of frostbite even with a vest version, though you'd be less likely to die from severe frostbite.
