HOUSTON (Reuters) – Teen-age boys, are you tired of embarrassing questions about when you last changed underwear? Japan's space scientists may have just the answer -- a line of odour-free underwear and casual clothing. "He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. Wakata's clothes, developed by researcher Yoshiko Taya, are designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static, not to mention comfortable and stylish. The Japanese space agency plans to make the clothes available to NASA and its other space station partners once development is complete. A commercial line also is in the offing.

Well I guess it was bound to happen.   The Japanese have finally gone too far with these crazy inventions.  I mean robotic women, ski lodge shitters and ringtones that makes chicks boobs grow is one thing.   But underwear that you don’t have to ever change?  No fucking thanks.  Listen the Japanese can talk until they’re blue in the face about how these things are stylish, but I’m calling bullshit on that one.  Plus I like changing my underwear everyday.  It helps keep the days from blending together.  Not to mention the fact that nothing gets the juices flowing like putting on a pair of big game boxer briefs when you think there is a chance you’re getting laid.    And what chick worth her salt would hook up with a dude who is wearing a pair of week old underwear.  I don’t care whether the shit stains are gone or not.  It just shows her you mean business when she sees you broke out the good stuff.  So sorry, but thanks but no thanks on the everlasting tighty whiteies.
