I’ve always wanted my Nostrils to Glow

Really? About as asinine as those LED lights for your teeth, these draft-sensing noselights glow when you breathe. Watch the video to get a better idea on how these silly things work. Hey mister, put one in each nostril and change that to a red LED…A new Rudolph is born. [Cheers makezine]
