It seems our friends in Russia are reporting that “Specialists from the University of Goettingen” have created something the world (or maybe just Russia) has apparently been waiting for – the adult pacifier. The English translation is a little rough, but Pravda (old-school communism, online since 1999!) reports:
German scientists have come up with a revolutionary approach to help those suffering from heavy snoring condition. This time, they developed a special pacifier for adults, which is meant to bring immediate relief. (Full article here)
Apparently these “scientists” have cured snoring by creating a man-sized binky and sticking it in some poor guy’s mouth. These geniuses figured out that if you’ve got something in your mouth, you can’t snore. And they’re claiming 7 out of 10 are cured (the other three guys probably just spit it out immediately like my daughter does). If you really want to stop snoring, do like I did – loose some weight and roll over on your side. And if that doesn’t work see a doctor (it could be a serious problem), but I would probably avoid one from the University of Goettingen.
(On a side note, did you know that the term “Binky” is owned by Playtex? I guess file that one along with the Gerber “Onesie.")
