A French scientist by the name of Ludwik Leibler has developed a condom that he claims “can be pressed back together” (and even reused) if it is torn, ripped, or punctured.

Apparently one of the key ingredients in the compound used to make this little gem is an ingredient in… wait for it… urine.

The substance is described as a cross between silly putty and a rubber ball.

There are so many punch lines I could choose here that I can’t pick. Leave your own in a comment.
