A Japanese company, Haruyama Trading Co., has developed a suit that it claims protects the wearer from the deadly H1N1 strain of influenza.

The company has produced 50,000 of the suits and will start selling them on Thursday, according to a company spokesman.

The suit is coated with the chemical titanium dioxide, which reacts to light to break down and kill the virus when it comes into contact with it, according to Junko Hirohata.

I was thinking either DEVO yellow with Energy Dome hat, or Gundam.

So, does it transform into a rocket ship or a motorized, self-propelled samurai sword, or what?

Ummm.....nice suit, kinda. But isn't Titanium Dioxide one of the ingredients in suntan lotion? Why not wear some of that instead? T'would be cheaper.
