You've got to hand it to the Japanese, they always seem to be a step ahead when it comes to adopting new technologies. Did you know they had the iPod back in 1985? Okay, that's a complete lie. Still, in light of their latest innovation -- the shower suit -- we'd believe it if you told us that they were building an elevator into outer space. Wait, they are. Well, almost as impressive as the space elevator, a Japanese company ironically named Australian Wool Innovation has designed a suit that you never need to take to the cleaners!According to the article, just rinse the suit for 3-4 minutes in warm water, hang it up, and let it drip dry -- "if hung properly, no ironing is needed." Nice. Although we're pretty sure that a handheld shower head would work best, it seems like just about anyone could handle this modest cleaning task. Apparently, Japanese executives have been wearing this suit for a year already, and because of its success, AWI wants to take the technology into ladieswear -- and then worldwide.
