HOUSTON (Reuters) - Teen-age boys, are you tired of embarrassing questions about when you last changed underwear? Japan's space scientists may have just the answer -- a line of odour-free underwear and casual clothing.

Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese astronaut to live on the International Space Station, is testing the clothes, called J-ware and created by textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo.

"He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Wakata's clothes, developed by researcher Yoshiko Taya, are designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static, not to mention comfortable and stylish.

Japanese astronaut Takao Doi gave the clothes a trial run during a shuttle mission last year. Even after a vigorous workout, Doi's clothes stayed dry.

"The other astronauts become very sweaty, but he doesn't have any sweat. He didn't need to hang his clothes to dry," Yanagawa said.

J-ware should reduce the amount of clothing that needs to be sent to the space station, which has no laundry facilities. Toting cargo into orbit is expensive, so having clothes that stay fresh for weeks at a time should result in significant savings.

The Japanese space agency plans to make the clothes available to NASA and its other space station partners once development is complete. A commercial line also is in the offing.

Wakata, who arrived at the station last week for a three-month stay, said on Sunday that the clothes appear to be working.

"Nobody has complained, so I think it's so far, so good," Wakata said.

I dont know if you have heard or read this before , its worth a trial



There were four businessmen - An American, a Cuban, an Englishman, and a Nigerian cruising in a Limo.
The Cuban, who had been puffing on his Havana cigar, threw it out the window after only smoking it half way.
The American was astounded and said “Are you nuts? Do you have any idea how much those are worth in my country?” The Cubans simply replied, “My country is full of that shit.”
The American, unwilling to be one-upped, pulled off his Rolex and tossed it out the window.
The Nigerian was amazed and said “Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how much those are worth in my country?” The American replied grinning, “My country is full of that shit.”
Now the Brit who, up to this point had been ignoring the others, calmly reached across, grabbed the Nigerian by the collar, opened the car door and kicked him out.
The Cuban and American were confused and asked, “Are you trying to get us arrested? Why the hell did you do that?” The Englishman casually replied, “My country is full of that shit!”

Ya i know what you mean , that kind of guy would make me go jogging by force, I was relieved we moved cos i dont know wat could have happen, but even after 10years or so am still thinking bout wat cld ve bin? where he is ? wat up with him?is he married lol, am just crazy

you probably heard of the Girl /guy next door.
Q What do you think of him/her



my Ans: years ago the guy staying next door to us was hot, al you had to do was see his smile and you would melt, he had ebony skin, Black/brown eyes, wel toned. nice set of teeth, i still dream bout him.

i want to know yours or may be I alone feel stuff like that , lol

the coolest places to visit in Nija? Tell us ur experiences

I have been to some cool places like
1. Yankari game reserve , the pool is great due to its constant temprature for all seasons, its educative as u get to go on Safari though i was scared at first, Nice place to go for a vacation,
2.Rayfield resort , awesome place for a picnic and boat ride,
3.Assop Fall, watching the water fall was an awesome sight, great place to visit
4.Kura falls, beatiful dam and see the wonders of a large volume of water,
My regrets
I cant swim, lol So where have you been and tell us why we should visit,

if you had the opportunity to visit a place where would that be and why?
 
Paris---City of love

If you had to say something about the creator of Nairaland what would it be?

for me he is cool, lets hear urs

@ Ariblaze abeg u too correct, Pls tell them, lol

OMG, i feel for you, i know wat you mean, you tinks she loves you but the chyke is just trying to play her cards rite, Rem no be love she go chop but might be wit someone who is financially ok but you might be her Assistant boifrend.
Now that said either remain friends or go find the love of ur life. Easier said than done but a stitch in time save nine, its hard but u ve to let go gradually, l
Best wishes

dont be paranoid about wat u think might happen instead enjoy wat you ve or u might just lose it and may not find it again.

Does anyone know ow to get rid of head bumps, you know those really stubborn ones that occur at the base of the neck or somtimes the center of the head,
I would be really greatful if i go some help,
thank you

u alone know where the shoe pinches, You wil figure it out with time,

A secretive guy is a no no, listen to mama, cos what she sees sitting down you will not see standing up,

it depends on which part of the world u r, in the western world if you dont say wat you mean you might be single for the rest of you life.
otherwise some girls just need to check with thier galfrnds for approval,

I had no idea it has reached this level, its either nairalander are exaggerating the situation or yall lukking for a one nite stand,

tru lov is after the gown and bills ve bin paid and u are stuck in the same room but u make the best of it, lol

if i had to follow ur advice i would run uup my fone bill so i would say KIP OLD FRIENDS AS GOLD AND THE NEW ONES AS SILVER.
Reason: i ve lots of pals

the best relationship/successful r/ship is defined by both parties involved,

sounds like you already made up ur mind on wat to do, in any case if you happn to lose ur job in Nija will she stick to you, Rem we r in the century of FOR BETTER FOR STAY FOR WORSE FOR GO, so do not make hasty decisions and look before u leap.

Wel how would u know if you neva try it. Life is too short,,if you get heartbroken pick up the pieces as life goes on, the sun would not stop shining cos u were not loved back,

its better she is heart broken now than to find out wen the baby is 30years old and then wat will she say or do, So if she loves him to that extent and live with the fact that she has a rival, wel good for her otherwise go the other way,
there is no way to advice such a person they ve to find the answer themselve,
gud luk

neither do i understand wat it means, its either you are not putting the words wel or you are leaving somtins out

have you tried any of the social networks, or just plain google you neva know where you mite find a trace, gud luk

its either you are trying to show off ow u attract the ladies or just to selfish to settle wit one date.but either way thank you stars since so many pple want to be in your shoes, gud luk

its either you adapt to the new development or ignore.that is the best i can say on this issue, if you choose to adapt try to live in thier world pick up books and read bout them, you might even find sign language interesting and they you will get to realize ow fun and human they are, gud luk

it depends on you level of communication as well. You can just pick up a movie and tell the guy i want you to kiss me the way its done in that movie.
or if he is the one that is adventurous trust me if there is love he would be dying to try out anytin you suggest just to make you feel good,

How do i know? Experience.

Yes i quite agree with both of you, Too much or too little is bad, So when does it get to much,
so a pencil and a lipgloss , or foundation,concealer,eyeshadow ,blush , to mention but a few.Not to mention a mascara on a rainy day, lol

with the ever increasing globalisation our resource but renewable and non renewable are being over stretched, Which of them do you find of great concern and why?


for me it is the ever increasing scarcity of WATER that worries me, With time we would be buying water as if we need gas. Lets me know your fears/concerns,
