Michel Fournier is about to make the greatest leap of his, and anyone else’s, life. On Sunday, the 64-year-old retired French army officer will fly almost 40 kms into the sky in a giant balloon, step out of a pressurised capsule and plunge headfirst towards the earth, soaring through the atmosphere for an estimated 15 minutes.
A couple of years ago we introduced you to the privacy scarf, which was based on the same principle as this body-laptop woolly jumper, but lacked its homemade, knitted style. The idea is intended to provide “privacy, warmth, and concentration in public spaces,” but in the end it just makes you look like an epic douche. And if you think this thing is useless, get a load of the keyboard jumper/glove after the break.
