"pantyhose" news and stories

This might be something that everyone else and their mothers (and likely, grandmothers) already knows, but since there has been all of about three occasions in my entire lifetime that I've ever worn pantyhose, I didn't know that you can use them to store onions.

Apparently, onions will stay fresh for six months if you store them in this way:

1. Take a pair of new pantyhose (they say you can use washed used pantyhose, but that sounds kind of gross to me -- even if they're washed, they still had someone's feet in them!)
   
2. Place the onions into the feet.
   
3. Tie a knot in the pantyhose between the onions.
   
4. Repeat this process. I have never seen it, but I am guessing it looks like a big old chain of onions.
5. Hang the onions in a cool, dry, and dark place
6. Cut an onion off the hose from the bottom each time you need an onion.
   

Neat! Now the only question is, would it be sexier to use fishnets?!?!
