image A recurrent thief at a convenience store in Connecticut seems to have a passion for just one thing and it's not cash. He steals "Red Bull."A surveillance camera put up at a Mobil On The Run store in Bloomfield shows the man stuffing can after can of Red Bull down his pants. As he took the cans out of the refrigerator, he kept looking back at the clerk checking to see if anyone was watching him.

Dancepants is a kinetic-powered MP3 Player via Coolest Gadgets November 18th, 2009 at 22:58

After all, the words “dance” and “pants” rhyme. Say, is that an MP3 Player in your pants, or…all right, I think you all know where that one was going. I’m not liking where the Dancepants is going. You see, the Dancepants isn’t just an MP3 Player that is designed to fit in the pants. That would probably be easy. You would just find a convenient place to stitch in the apparatus, and just make certain that the user can charge it and download tunes easily. The Dancepants are not like that.

KENT AND PANTS via The Charlie Williams Blog November 11th, 2009 at 12:00

Had a good time at the Kent Uni event, where I stood up in front of students, read a couple of passages from my books and talked about writing. However, halfway through the proceedings I became convinced that my flies were undone. I didn't see how I fix this - or even confirm my suspicions - without looking like I was fiddling with myself. I was in Royston Blake character mode, reading the forklift passage from King of the Road, but my heart wasn't in it. It was in my pants, wondering if everyone could see them. And worse: was that a cool breeze I just felt down there? As soon as it was over I sat down and very subtly checked.False alarm.So, to the students of Kent who came, apologies. You got a watered down version of Blakey there, due to my anxieties. Usually he's a lot louder and more...

Shoplifter stuffs ferret down his pants then used it as weapon via Nothing To Do With Arbroath October 30th, 2009 at 09:19

image Investigators said Rodney Bolton went into the Pet Supermarket store in Jacksonville Beach on Tuesday afternoon and stuck a ferret down the front of his pants before walking out. It's an incident so unusual that even police had a hard time keeping a straight face. "Stuffing a ferret down your pants in order to steal it is not only stupid, but it's a little dangerous," Sgt. Thom Bingham said.A 17-year-old shopper told police he saw Bolton abduct the ferret, and the shopper tried to rescue the animal. "They fought over the ferret and he squeezed the ferret until it was angry and agitated, and it bit the victim in the ear," Bingham said. The teen wasn't seriously injured, and now Bolton, who is homeless, is charged with shoplifting and battery. The ferret involved in the incident is...

Irish dentist denies putting camera in nurse’s pants via Nothing To Do With Arbroath October 9th, 2009 at 09:14

A dentist has denied touching a trainee dental nurse between her breasts and placing a micro-camera inside her pants. The trainee nurse claimed that, on her second interview for the job, the dentist put two of his fingers on her sternum, or breastbone, while checking the alignment of her teeth. She also claimed that, two weeks later, he photographed tattoos with a micro-camera, but then put it down inside her pants.

A third disputed incident involved the dentist allegedly opening buttons on the nurse's new uniform, and putting a biro into the front pocket while flicking it from...

Pre-stained pants: Does this idea stink? via Odd News | newslite.tv August 6th, 2009 at 21:26

image If your mother told you to make sure you are always wearing clean underwear she would definitely not approve of these ... they come ready soiled.The 'pre-stained pants' are the brainchild of Philip Watson who came up with the idea while at university, after finding a pair of "horribly skidded" pants in the wash.He says the idea of being caught with dirty underwear is horribly shaming, and thought that it would be great it there was an excuse to trot out, like "they came that way".Philip is now selling the pants - which have printed skid-marks on the rear - online, and says demand is better than expected ... but if buyers chose not to change their pants regulary they still have to explain the smell. The design process saw a pair of freshly soiled white pants taken to an...

A new speedy way to get dressed via The Guardian World News June 22nd, 2009 at 00:01

For the shy, self-effacing woman looking for simple, practical clothing, the world of fashion is an obstacle course strewn with stonewash and littered with Lycra. This season it offers us harem pants (good if you want to look incontinent, bad if you don't), 6in heels (good if you like crutches, bad if you don't), and the return of the crop top (good if you're a taut-tummied teenage athlete, bad if you're anyone else).Somehow, though, this month's French Vogue has hit upon an even more terrifying trend: a world where women jump out of bed, button their jackets, slip on a pair of pants and stride out to work. The magazine offers pages of jackets paired with different knickers. The fact that the model is accompanied by a number of dogs does not make this less disturbing. We should have seen...
