Cell-phone radiation has long been suspected of being a health risk, though it's never been proven. Nonetheless, for anyone terrified that keeping a mobile phone in your pocket might make you sterile, a Swiss clothing maker has created some undies that should allay your fears. Isabodywear is woven with thread made of silver, which is said to block any potentially harmful phone emissions.

To show that their clothing shields really work, the company says any calls you make from inside the underwear won't connect. Damn, there goes the porn-star demo. When the great barrier briefs go on sale (no date's been set), they'll cost about $24 each. — Peter Pachal
