Young brilliance at its best:

A Texas M.B.A. student was designing a glow-in-the-dark jogging suit when he got distracted.

Now Beau Carpenter is marketing a neon thong that's so far attracted eager customers at a strip club. The Houston Chronicle reports that Carpenter had no trouble enlisting help in his venture from a chemistry lab manager and electrical engineering student.

The GloThongs have batteries that, when fully charged, illuminate the straps for two hours in various neon colors. Customers can use a wall adapter to charge them up, but car chargers are also available.

They'll be available next month and cost about 50 dollars. (Just in time for Christmas).

You Said

It must be awkward in the middle of a performance when someone yells that it is time to charge up the stripper!

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been invented before.

At least now I know what to get you for Christmas. Whew, mark that big question off the list.
