Brilliant!!

[Flipside]

Great! Handwarmers!









What?

[Goober5000]

I notice it's set somewhere around 25 degrees...

[Galemp]

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.

[Grey Wolf]

According to the artical, they're functional prototypes. Though they seem to need to be heated first.

I was making a little joke.

[Gortef]

Hahaha, quite a nice idea indeed

[Martinus]

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.

absolutly

[vyper]

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".

[Flipside]

Stroke-boobs?

Sounds like a plan

[WMCoolmon]

Strike-boobs.

[Flipside]

Whatever floats your boat...

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

[Kosh]

A myriad of uses for all! Boobs are great

So, do you want a pair?

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

[Ford Prefect]

In other news, crossdressing in cold climates around the world has doubled.

[Grey Wolf]

I'd think a vest version of this would be far more effective for both women and men, quite honestly.

[Galemp]

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?

[Grey Wolf]

There'd still be a risk of frostbite even with a vest version, though you'd be less likely to die from severe frostbite.
