Underpants in the News

It's no secret that people have moon fever thanks to the anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. But anyone who has ever dropped their pants in a public area knows the best thing after a mooning is a solid pair of underpants.

An article by the Associated Press says a Japanese astronaut is coming back to Earth after wearing the same pair of underwear for the past month. The underwear is part of a Japanese developed clothing line for astronauts that is supposedly anti-bacterial, water absorbant, and odor-eliminating.

One must wonder exactly how much ball-sweat the underwear can hold. Even if it were sterilized and odor free, I can't say I'd want the same swamp-ass laden briefs hugging my luscious curves for a whole month.

The best part of the story is that scientists are going to examine the underwear when the astronaut comes back. Now, I've heard of some crappy experiments... (buh-dum tshhh).

Someone should notify Mike Rowe that there is another Dirty Jobs episode on the way.
