Literally, this is what German scientists have been working on lately: a suit that lets the wearer feel what it is like to be 75-years-old.

Designed to let a younger person experience the drudge of life that 75-year-olds experience every day, the thinking of the German makers is that this will allow care givers to be much more sympathetic to their elderly patients.

The suit weighs 10kgs and has ear flaps to muffle hearing, a yellow visor to obscure sight, padded gloves to dull the sense of touch, and knee and elbow pads to restrict joint movement.

I say Germany should concentrate their efforts on getting back all that money that they lent to the Greeks. If you want to feel like an old person, just drive too slow in the fast lane on the highway and go to Pick and Pay at 12AM everyday and stay until 4PM.
