Amusing that this is sitting just under the "Bare bottom simplest example of machine learning in TensorFlow" story at the moment.

You must admit this arouses your curiosity. I mean why the infections are more likely to occur if the subject is naked? What's the difference?

Is it not what HN is about?

Bad news for the bikini barristas? http://people.com/celebrity/topless-coffee-shops-the-bikini-...

Depends on the bikini, probably. If the posterior portion thereof has sufficient coverage, there shouldn't be any major issue.

At least one filtering mesh. Hopefully two.

When I was a medical student I was assisting on an operation when I let loose with a horrible sulfurous fart. I was sly about it and made no noise. At some point the surgeon made a comment about how "it didn't smell too good in there" so I had to come clean; didn't want him further exploring and maybe cutting the abdomen to track down the smell.

I tell this because that story is rarely relevant in my life and also to tell you that farts actually are relevant in a surgical context. The study is not as silly as it sounds

I think it's fair to say that if you're in a position to be directly farted on by a nude person, more intimate contact has or will occur.

Ah.. If only..

There's so much contained in just a few words and some punctuation. Don't worry, you'll find someone to um... fart on you.

Every time I hear stories like this I think back to the episode of Scrubs were Turk farts in during an abdominal surgery and he lets the attending think he nicked the colon.
