Pillow Talk

[ORAC]

New Scientist:

"We hope it can relax soldiers at the limit of their stress levels"

Henrik Lundstein of Denmark´s Royal Defence College on why Danish troops in Iraq have been sent pillows with built-in MP3 players that emit soothing sounds such as trickling water, chirping birds and soft instrumentals (Reuters)

I think a pillow accompanied by a hot bit of Danish totty would relax the soldiers a little bit more.

[PerArdua]

Trickling water sounds could have all kinds of unexpected consequences!!!

[Crashed&Burned]

I believe the pillow was designed for people with severe psychiatric problems...

[Pass-A-Frozo]

You could of course stuff with your mates pillow so it starts making explosion sounds in the middle of the night

[SwitchMonkey]

Of course, just getting pillows would be nice.

[Tigs2]

PILLOWS!

You were Lucky! Every night we used to have to go to sleep in the middle of a live firing range with our eds resting on broken glass while the Sgt Maj used to send us to sleep by marching across our heads singing 'pack up your troubles in your old kit bag'. And we thought we were lucky. You tell the kids that these days and they just dont believe you!

So, how is this talking pillow supposed to work if you take your hearing aid out when you go to sleep?

[Onan the Clumsy]

That's where the hot Danish totty comes in

I hear the RN are to be issued pillows that you can bite on...

[VitaminGee]

I hear the RN are to be issued pillows that you can bite on...

..........in the unwelcome event they have to divert to an RAF station!!

[StopStart]

.....yes, because RAF messes don't stock biteable pillows as a matter of routine. Unlike Navy Wardrooms. Hence they're best off carrying their own....

etc etc
