The end may be nigh, but Japanese women are ready for it. Triumph International Japan, a lingerie company, has designed a hi-tech bra that warns its wearer of incoming missiles. The slinky undergarment contains a sensor on the shoulder strap, and an attractive control box which is alert to things falling from the sky. The "Armageddon Bra" is Superman underwear, as it needs to be worn on the outside to get the best performance for detecting incoming objects. The design has been sparked by Nostradamus' prophesy that a war would wipe out a third of the world's population this July. Triumph failed to explain exactly how the bra would protect the wearer from a nuclear holocaust. ®
