Cigarette-smoking toddler, turns a big boy.. See Gist & Pics

You guys remember that 2year-old Indonesian boy who shocked the world with his 40-a-day cigarette habit? Aldi Rizal became an international media sensation when he was discovered in a poor village in Sumatra, Indonesia, puffing on a cigarette while riding his tricycle.

Fart Proof Pants Invented By Using Chemical Warfare Technology To Filter Bad Smells

Loughborough-based company, Shreddies Ltd., have formulated flatulence-proof underwear designed to help those awkward smells.
The hi-tech pants contain the same technology used in chemical warfare suits and are apparently ‘reactivated’ every time the garments are washed.

A spokesperson for the company told the New York Daily News they are trying to combat a problem which they say affects “millions of people”.

They added: “Although Shreddies has got cheeky with the new campaign, to many people they still remain very much a healthcare product and have helped so many cope with conditions such as IBS, Crohn’s and food intolerances.”

A 33-year-old man has spent five years and $100,000 in an effort to look like his hero – teenaged pop idol Justin Bieber.
