Odourless underpants 無臭無味的內褲

A US company has performed a great service to humanity by inventing an underwear fabric that absorbs all smells.

The material is inserted into a pair of pants with two self-adhesive strips and traps any pongs or whiffs, reports The Sun.

The 'gas neutralisers' are made from carbon fabric that has undergone activated carbon anti-microbial treatment. Called Subtle Butt, they sell in five-packs for about £5.

They were invented by a company called Garment Guard which already sells disposable cotton underarm inserts which absorb perspiration to prevent embarrassing wet marks.

The company blurb says: "From the brilliant minds at Garment Guard comes our newest product, Subtle Butt.

"This pack of 5 saving graces effectively filters the odour caused by flatulence. Simply stick it in the right place and you're ready for a chilli cook-off."

However, the fabric, called Subtle Butt, does not silence noises - so does not signal the end of embarrassing flatulence. (The Sun)

Man catches bullet in teeth, spits it out 男子用牙齒咬住射來的子彈，然後吐掉

A Croatian man has impersonated Superman by catching a bullet in his teeth and spitting out the hot lead.

Just like in the comics his attacker fled.

The drama occurred after Stipe and Mirna Cavlovic, both 37, got caught up in a row between two men. One of the men fired at the couple but the bullet ricocheted off Mirna's cheek and got stuck in Stipe's false teeth.

The surprised Stipe then spat out the hot bullet, terrifying his attacker, according to Telegraph.co.uk.

I thought I was dead for sure," he told police. "I didn't even see the bullet hit my wife. I just saw the flash of the gun's barrel.

"The next thing I knew was something hit my false tooth and I spat out the hot lead. It hurt like hell but we're both still alive."

Police believe he survived because the bullet lost so much speed when it grazed Marla's cheek. She was also uninjured.

The 58-year-old gunman was arrested. (Metro.co.uk)

World's most blinged-up bike 世上最貴氣的腳踏車

Scandinavian design company Aurumania has launched a limited edition run of the world's most blinged-up bike.

At just over £60,000, the Gold Bike Crystal Edition is believed to be the most expensive bicycle ever made.

Each of the ten produced, is hand-built and gold-plated with 24-carat gold, and decked out with over 600 Swarovski crystals.

Hand-sewn leather grips and a Brooks leather saddle provide finishing touches to the bike, with each limited edition number embossed with gold leaf and set into a leather badge onto the bike's headtube.

The company has also created a 24-carat gold wall holder for the bike, so it can be displayed as a work of art. (Anaova.com)

World's unluckiest cyclist? 世上最倒楣的單車騎士?

A US cyclist was knocked down by a car and a train in separate accidents within six hours of each other.

Unlucky Robert Evans, 46, from Boulder, Colorado, was first hit by a car in a hit-and-run incident.

Mr Evans was taken to hospital but later released, reports Metro.

He was on his way back to town when he was hit by a train while walking his bicycle across a railroad bridge.

He was later found in a creek and again taken to hospital, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

To add to his woes, Evans faces a ticket from police for trespassing on the rail bridge which is not open to pedestrians. (Metro.co.uk)

Chicken pot is ancient treasure 大陸一雞盆為古代寶物

A Chinese farmer is ecstatic after discovering a chicken feed pot he bought from a neighbour for a few pennies is a 1,000-year-old treasure.

Liu Shuxuan, of Chongqing, purchased the pot from his neighbour five years ago, reports Chongqing Business Daily.

"It was broken into pieces then, but I thought the flower pattern looked very ancient, so I bought it from him for about 10 yuan (80p)," he said.

Liu glued the pieces together and took it to the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Research Centre to determine its value.

He hoped it was worth more than he paid for it - but was amazed to discover that it was a rare treasure from the Song Dynasty, dating back more than 1,000 years.

Zhao Qingyun, an expert at the centre, said there are only three such pots in existence - two in the Shanghai Museum and one in a private collection.

Liu decided to sell the treasure pot after learning its true value, and has taken it by train to Beijing to show it to auction houses. He says he won't sell it for less than 10 million yuan (approx £800,000). (Chongqing Business Daily)

Girl, 16, is UK's youngest pilot 16歲少女成為英最年輕駕駛員

A 16-year-old schoolgirl has become Britain's youngest qualified pilot.

Sally Cluley passed her flying test at the end of August, but must wait until her birthday next week to be handed a private pilot's licence as 17 is the minimum age.

She told The Sun: "I'm going to stay on at school to finish my A-levels. Then I'd love to try to join the RAF. I'd consider becoming a commercial pilot if I don't make the grade with the RAF."

The teenager, who has racked up nearly 50 flying hours, joined 1947 training squadron at RAF Birstall near her Leicester home in 2006.

She took the test to gain her wings in a Piper Cherokee at the POM flying school, Humberside.

Sally added: "Flying just seemed to come naturally to me. It makes me feel as free as a bird."

RAF Birstall is part of the Air Training Corps, the world's largest youth air training organisation.

ATC Commandant Air Commodore Ian Stewart said: "We are all extremely proud of what Sally has achieved. She will do well in whichever career she chooses." (The Sun)

New suit can be worn in shower 可在淋浴時穿著的新西裝

An Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn in the shower.

The garment has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the shower head with no soaking, dry cleaning - or even soap.

Australian Wool Innovation says it has already received 170,000 orders from Japan for its revolutionary shower suit.

AWI spokesman Stephen Feighan told The Australian newspaper that the suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to drape it on a clothes hanger to wash it.

"The idea is that you hang it up and then you give it a spray, and leave it overnight, and it's dry the next morning,'' he said.

The shower suit appealed to busy corporate people, particularly those who travelled frequently or stayed up late, Mr Feighan said.

Cow lands on car 牛從天而降掉在汽車上

A car driver in China was shocked when a cow suddenly dropped from the sky and landed on his bonnet.

The heavy black-and-white cow smashed a deep dent into the front of the vehicle in Changchun, reports the Northeastern News Network.

A resident who saw the accident said he saw the cow jump off the lorry driving ahead of the car. The lorry did not stop but sped off.

Police caught up with the lorry driver who is now in custody. They believe he is a cow thief who had stolen three cows from a local farmer and was transporting them to a market.

"He forgot to tie the cows securely on the lorry, and one of them walked off of the running truck and hit the car following behind," said the police spokesman. (Northeastern News Network)

Drunk man has sex with car 酒醉男子與休旅車嘿咻

Imagine parking up your new SUV on a nice quiet street, to pop to the shops only to come back and see a man hitting on your car.

And when we say 'hitting,' we don't mean the kind with a baseball bat.

Can't imagine it?

Well, a drunken man was caught having sex with an SUV that was parked on a main road.

The man, who has not been named, was seen with his pants down and getting it on with the front end of the Toyota 4X4.

And he went at if for a while - proving that it wasn't just a hit and run.

At times he looked a little frustrated, maybe because the vehicle was unresponsive to him banging against its bumper.

He was arrested after passers-by called the police.

Videos of the incident have been circulated on the web, but frankly we'll leave you to track them down if you so wish. (Metro.co.uk)

Chicken-footed duck scared of water 雞腳鴨怕水

A Chinese farmer is baffled after he bought a duck that has feet like a chicken and is scared of water.

Curious villagers in Huangjin village, Xicheng town, are flocking to the home of Fu Haiwen to see the duck.

Fu said he bought the duck in June but did not notice its unusual feet for ten days, reports Laibin News.

It was only after he noticed it acting differently to the rest of the ducks that he examined it closely and was surprised to see it did not have webbed feet.

"It never went with the other ducks to swim in the river," he explained. (Laibin News)
