X-ray goggles!!!

Wow that is the most pathetic yet intriguing device I've seen.

Pathetic because really, if need these goggles to get off than you really need a better way of gettin the Poontang!

Intriguing cause I don't believe they work the way they say it does. You can probably see through a material that is already so thin you don't need the goggles in the first place!

I think they might actually work. Sony is said to have had a similar technology in some of their camcorders that was originally meant for captures during night/low-light-conditions.
The devices were said to have an effect at daytime like the one that is described for these googles, so Sony pulled them from the market (or so).

Yes, I've seen articles about those Sony camcorders, the "Nightshot" model. Kind of an interesting accident. The camera goes for a lot on Ebay now. Now there are a number of 3rd parties that make a filter to make this happen with other camcorders.

I remember one web page where a guy demonstrated it. He took a license plate and put it on a chair. The then covered it with a flannel shirt. The camera picked up the license plate perfectly.

Here's one of those filters. http://www.kaya-optics.com/products/experiments.htm

Price: £2200

Yeah, this is really reasonable.

.. when this was just a feature already built in to a $800 camcorder. Wonder how much profit they are making at that price.
