Talk about a CD rack!!

This is what happens when D&D geeks get big grants:

Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman's breast implants.

One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person's whole music collection.

BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years.

BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

According to The Sun he said: "It is now very hard for me to think of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful."

The senors around the body linked through the electrical impulses in the chips may also be able to warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer.


Look, the only boob I want holding my MP3 player is the dumb-but-pretty houseboy I plan on hiring as soon as I win the lottery. And I LOVE how that last bit, about actual lifesaving technologies, is thrown in as an afterthought. Sigh. (via Feministing)
