I'm just curious about this... Why would we build a solar powered bra/charger. There are MILLIONS of things in the world that the technology that we build could benefit. But instead of bettering the research in the release of the rice genome or the fight against numerous diseases that are killing and infecting people globally, we decided women needed a new way to cleanly and safely charge our cell phones.

On a side thought though. Does this mean that men are going to be getting solar jock straps? I mean I'm sure there are people who are thinking that they need them... God knows why, but how would this effect the manners of everyday people in the world?

*Phone Rings* Man: Oh one moment *Hand quickly bursts into his pants to retrieve his phone from the charger*

Things like this just seem like a waste of money and technology to me.
